On October 9, Nova Ltd fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $358.78 per share, with Turnover of $55.57 million.
The decline followed Citigroup's downgrade of the stock to Neutral from Buy, setting a price target of $415, significantly below the FactSet analyst mean target of $603.38. The rating action outweighed earlier positive catalysts, including the board's approval of a $200 million share buyback program and strong second-quarter results in which revenue rose 16% year-over-year to $255 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.51 beat the $2.41 consensus.
