Etsy shares jumped nearly 2% after RBC Capital upgraded the company from Sector Perform to Outperform, with a price target of $68 per share. The e-commerce company announced Thursday morning that it was issuing $650 million in convertible debt and will use approximately $124.5 million of those funds for a share buyback.
Shares of Xilinx dropped nearly 2% following an announcement that their CFO of 11 years, Lorenzo Flores, will leave the company “to pursue another executive opportunity,” the chipmaker said in a statement. Their CEO Victor Peng will serve as acting CFO until a successor is found.
KeyCorp‘s shares briefly popped 1.66% before flattening after the bell, following an announcement that their Chairman and CEO Beth Mooney will retire next year. The Cleveland-based regional bank’s Vice Chairman Chris Gorman will succeed Mooney as chairman and CEO on May 1, 2020.
