Analysts Lift Yum, Visa, and Amgen Targets

Wells Fargo and Guggenheim drove a broad wave of target price upgrades on Thursday, with five upward revisions among the most notable moves.

Yum! Brands saw the biggest percentage jump. Guggenheim analyst Gregory Francfort raised his target by $25 to $180, keeping a Buy rating. The fast-food parent runs KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell.

Visa got a $27 bump. Truist Securities analyst Matthew Coad lifted his target to $470 from $443, also with a Buy. The payments giant continues to attract bullish calls despite its size.

Stanley Black & Decker collected a sharp $25 increase to $115 from Wells Fargo, though the firm stays at Hold. The toolmaker has struggled in recent years. A $25 lift on a Hold rating signals growing confidence in its recovery.

Amgen earned a $57 raise to $435, also held at Hold by Guggenheim. Medicare Advantage enrolment reached 36.2 million beneficiaries in July 2026, a record high, according to ORTEX Alt Data. That structural growth in managed care coverage could support demand for biotech drugs in that channel.

On the downside, Fair Isaac took a $85 cut to $650 from Wells Fargo. The FICO score maker has traded at premium multiples for years. That is a rare bearish call on a name that rarely attracts price-target reductions.

Uber Technologies drew split views. Guggenheim initiated at Buy with a $125 target. Keybanc cut its target by $10 to $95, also at Buy, suggesting near-term caution despite long-term optimism on the ride-share leader.
