O-I Glass Shares Jump Over 6% Following Citi Upgrade and Price Target Raise

O-I Glass shares rose over 6% in pre-market trading after Citi upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy and raised its price target from $8.00 to $9.00. The glass manufacturer has faced challenges, with its stock down over 50% in the past year. Citi's upgrade contrasts with broader analyst skepticism, citing potential upside and recent Q2 results. The broader market also showed modest gains, supporting the rally. Investors are reassessing the company's risk and reward profile.
