Just caught that Porch Group got upgraded back in February - Keefe Bruyette & Woods moved it from Market Perform to Outperform. Pretty interesting timing since the stock was sitting around $7.39 at the time, and analysts were looking at an average target of $17.98. That's basically 143% upside if they're right.



Looking at the numbers, Porch is projecting around 494MM in annual revenue with about 11.62% growth, though the EPS forecast is still negative at -0.93. What caught my eye though is the institutional activity - there are 312 funds holding positions, and the total shares owned actually increased by 2.68% over the last three months to 88M shares. Some interesting moves happening in the portfolio allocations too.

Granahan Investment Management is the biggest holder with 9.6M shares (9.15%), though they trimmed their position by 20.7% from their prior filing. Meanwhile, Invesco went the other direction - massively increased from 692K to 3.8M shares, up 81.76%. Driehaus and some other funds are also shuffling their Porch holdings around. The put/call ratio sitting at 1.06 suggests bears are still cautious, but the upgrade and institutional buying pressure makes you wonder if sentiment's shifting. Worth keeping an eye on how Porch trades in the coming months.
