Prospect Capital (PSEC) shares plummeted 5.20% during intraday trading on Tuesday, following negative analyst actions from Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo cut its target price for Prospect Capital to $2 from $2.5 and maintained its Underweight rating on the stock. The downgrade in target price and sustained negative rating likely contributed to investor selling pressure.
