Analysts Lift Targets on Coinbase, Cards, and Agilent

Analysts raised targets across several names on Friday. The moves cover crypto, financial services, and life sciences.

COIN saw the most attention. Coinbase's average consensus target edged up to $213.55, with analysts revising upward after a recent run in crypto markets. The consensus sits at 22 buys against 13 holds.

AXP also drew upgrades. American Express had its average target lifted to $369.52. The consensus is unusually bullish, with 15 buys and zero sell ratings. Analysts appear comfortable with the card giant's earnings quality.

A at Agilent Technologies attracted a target increase to $181.63. Life science tools stocks have been under pressure, so the upward move stands out. The buy/hold/sell split sits at 14/7/1.

CTSH at Cognizant also received a bump. The IT services firm's average target rose to $67.10. The all-hold consensus from 15 analysts and no sell ratings suggests improving sentiment in the sector.

The most striking move came at DECK. Deckers Outdoor saw multiple changes simultaneously. The average target fell sharply to $99.95 from $115.48. Four analysts now rate it a sell, up from three. The footwear brand has faced pressure as consumer spending patterns shift.

BSX at Boston Scientific was the only medtech name with a target cut, slipping to $57.82 from $58.00. Modest, but the direction is notable for a stock with 23 buy ratings and zero sells.
