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 broader market also showed modest gains, supporting the rally. Investors are reassessing the company's risk and reward profile.
