(This story is for CNBC Pro subscribers only). Two Wall Street firms said Wednesday that they aren't backing away from Penn National Gaming after the stock ripped higher over the past two months. JPMorgan and Rosenblatt Securities both raised their price targets on Penn, which has been boosted by a partnership with Barstool Sports. The stock has risen 170% year to date and more than doubled since the end of July. "While we recognize PENN's impressive share price outperformance, and many sell-side firms have thrown in the towel with downgrades, we still see value and catalysts ahead," the JPMorgan note said. JPMorgan, which has an overweight rating on the stock, raised its price target to $83 per share from $62. That represents a nearly 20% premium to where shares closed on Tuesday.
