Analysts Trim Targets on GE, ABT After Earnings

Analyst target prices shifted across several large-caps on Friday, with downgrades dominating the session's activity.

GE saw its consensus target fall to $378.90 from $382.81. The stock's buy-side skew remains intact, with 20 buy ratings against just one hold, but the trimmed target follows a strong run in the shares.

ABT also took a consensus cut, slipping to $118.52 from $118.64. Abbott carries 24 buy recommendations and no sells, so the move reflects modest post-earnings recalibration rather than a change in view.

HON dropped to a $253 consensus target from $255. Honeywell has been restructuring, splitting into separate businesses, and analysts are still refining their models around the new structure.

On the positive side, MRK received a target lift to $159.76 from $158.56. Merck's pipeline remains a focus after recent data readouts.

COIN saw an upgrade in sentiment alongside a target nudge to $213.55 from $212.31. Crypto markets have been firm, supporting the bull case.

PG attracted multiple changes, pushing its consensus target to $172.35 from $166.27, with one sell rating dropped. That is a meaningful shift for a consumer staples name and suggests growing comfort with its pricing power.

Taiwan export orders hit a record $95.7 billion in September 2026, according to ORTEX Alt Data. That backdrop supports tech-linked names broadly, including oilfield services firm SLB, which saw its target edge up to $62.34.
