Precision Drilling's stock surged 5.40% during intraday trading on Friday, following multiple analyst upgrades that boosted investor confidence in the drilling rig contractor.
The rally was driven by positive analyst actions, including CIBC Capital Markets raising its price target to $140 from $120 and RBC Capital Markets increasing its target to $124 from $119, with both firms maintaining Outperform ratings. Analysts cited the company's in-line fourth-quarter results, resilient rig activity in key markets, and plans to allocate more free cash flow toward share buybacks in 2026 as factors supporting the bullish outlook.
