Analysts Lift Visa, CTSH and MSFT Targets

Wells Fargo made two bold moves on Monday. Analyst Jason Kupferberg raised his target on CTSH to $77 from $67 and kept a Buy rating. On the same note, he lifted ACN to $252 from $210, retaining a Hold. Both IT services names saw the consensus target price nudge higher.

Susquehanna's James Friedman set a $480 target on V, up from $427, citing a continued Buy. That is a 12.4% jump in his price view and sits well above the current consensus of $427.

MSFT saw its average analyst target tick up to $603.24 from $601.73 as the consensus held at 54 Buy ratings and just three Holds.

Piper Sandler's Edward Tenthoff raised his target on MRNA sharply to $230 from $167, keeping a Buy. That 38% target hike is one of the most aggressive single moves of the day.

On the bearish side, CMCSA and DXCM both saw consensus targets trimmed. Comcast's average slipped to $27.98 from $28.16, keeping four Sell ratings in place. DexCom's target edged down to $96.19 from $96.46.

LITE received a new recommendation, with consensus sitting at 23 Buys. ORLY also drew a new coverage initiation, landing with 23 Buy ratings, though one recommendation was pulled from the pool.

EFX rounded out the day's activity with a consensus target lift to $200.35 from $199, reflecting stable Buy-heavy coverage across 17 analysts.
