TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) stock rose more than 4% Thursday after Wells Fargo initiated coverage with a bullish rating. A broader rally in technology stocks also supported the move.
Wells Fargo analyst Eric Luebchow initiated coverage of TeraWulf with an Overweight rating and a $30 price forecast Thursday.
The Nasdaq rose 1.46%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.85%.
Wells Fargo Adds Bullish Catalyst

TeraWulf outperformed both the broader market and its sector.
Recent analyst sentiment has also been positive. Freedom Capital Markets initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $19 price forecast on Sept. 8. William Blair started coverage with an Outperform rating on Aug. 28.
