Equinor – Assessing the Shift in Market Sentiment

After this morning's 2.5% surge to $25.04 per share, Equinor might just keep moving past its target price of $25.14. With an average analyst rating of hold, and target prices from $23.0 to $28.0, the stock's next move is anyone's guess.

The stock has an average amount of shares sold short at 4.0%, and a short ratio of 6.97. At 0.0%, the company's rate of insider ownership does not indicate that management is heavily invested in the corporation. Finally, we also note that a very small number of institutional investors are invested in the stock, with 7.0% of Equinor's shares being owned by this investor type.
