TheFly reported on March 16 that BTIG raised its rating on UPST from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $43.

The firm highlighted that the bank charter could lower liquidity concerns and estimated roughly 60% upside to UPST’s earnings.

Separately, on March 17, Upstart Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPST) announced a forward-flow agreement with Eltura Capital Management, Aperture Investors, and additional co-investors.
