While a "Market Perform" rating suggested the stock was expected to perform in line with the broader market, investors viewed the reaffirmation positively. Analyst Dana Telsey also kept the price target steady at $6.00 per share.

The positive sentiment also came as the company prepared to release its quarterly earnings, which investors were eagerly awaiting.

Shares of security and healthcare technology company OSI Systems (NASDAQ:OSIS) jumped 2.8% in the afternoon session after Roth Capital increased its price target on the company's shares to $292 from $280.
