Rite Aid (RAD) got it right. The drugstore chain is up 18% to new recent highs following strong earnings.

The stock has been performing well thanks to the rollout of HBO Max with hit shows like Game of Thrones, but Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock even though their price target is 15% above current levels. Only on Wallstreet.
