The second data set reports a mean of $230.13, a median of $237, a high of $250 and a low of $200 from 24 analysts.

Several named brokers acted on 9 October. Barclays initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $223 target, while TD Cowen lowered its target from $240 to $225 and kept a Buy rating. Citigroup reiterated a Buy rating on 7 October. On 23 September Bernstein lowered its target from $232 to $223 with a Market Perform rating. Many targets were raised in late July, including RBC to $250 with an Outperform rating, BNP Paribas Exane to $265 with an Outperform rating, Jefferies to $250 with a Buy rating, Susquehanna to $245 with a Positive rating, and JPMorgan to $240 with an Overweight rating. More cautious brokers include Goldman Sachs, which raised its target from $195 to $206 with a Neutral rating, UBS at $215 and Neutral, and Wells Fargo at $230 with an Equal Weight rating.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

The gap between the share price and the average target is wide by large-cap standards, so a recovery in sentiment would play a large part. Market data says the latest quarter's earnings per share were $1.89 against a $1.66 consensus estimate, with revenue of $24.71 billion against $22.89 billion expected. If that kind of outperformance is repeated and the company maintains or lifts its outlook, analysts could keep their targets in place or raise them.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The direction of recent target changes is not uniformly upward: TD Cowen and Bernstein both reduced their targets in the past three weeks.
