U.S. Stocks Surge on Upbeat Earnings
U.S. stocks soared Thursday, bringing the Dow Jones Industrial Average its biggest one-day gain in four months, as upbeat earnings reports and stabilizing commodities prices helped calm investors’ fears about the global economy. Stocks around the world had slumped just a day earlier as fears about an economic crisis in Turkey spread through a variety of markets, pulling everything from copper to oil prices lower. Much of the slide had been driven by concerns among investors that what had begun as a relatively limited pullback in emerging markets could trigger a more violent, durable reversal across risky assets around the world.

Alibaba stock price target cut at Raymond James, but it's still a 'strong buy'
The price target for China-based e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s stock (baba) was cut to $280 from $300 at Raymond James, due primarily to the recent weakness in the Chinese renminbi. The new price target is 65% above Wednesday's closing price of $169.83. Analyst Aaron Kessler reiterated his strong buy rating on Alibaba, saying the stock's recent weakness--down about 20% since mid-June while the Nasdaq Composite (comp) was little changed--was due primarily to macroeconomic concerns in China and currency moves, with the renminbi down about 9% versus the U.S. dollar since March-quarter results were reported.
