Target rises while ratings stay cautious

The Morgan Stanley move adds USD 5.00 to the firm's target, but the Hold rating remains unchanged. Jefferies had cut its target from USD 880.00 to USD 790.00 on October 5, 2026, while also keeping a Hold rating, according to Markets Insider. The two recent targets therefore span USD 790.00 to USD 850.00.
