  • Grail Shares Surge 12.4% After Analyst Upgrade Amid Trial Uncertainty
    March 21, 2026, 6:53 AM EDT. Shares of multi-cancer early detection company Grail jumped up to 12.4% this week following a Wall Street analyst's rating upgrade from "hold" to "buy." The new price target, however, was lowered to $65, still offering a 39% premium over the last close. This comes despite the company missing its primary endpoint in a key trial measuring stage III-IV cancer detection reductions with its Galleri test.
