Recent actions listed include: BNP Paribas Exane reiterated Outperform on 28 September 2026 and raised its target from $40 to $43; HSBC downgraded from Buy to Hold on 16 September with a $36 target; Freedom Broker lowered its Buy-rated target from $39 to $36 on 14 September; Barrington Research upgraded from Market Perform to Outperform with a $40 target on 11 September; Robert W.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

With the share price well below most targets, the consensus implies a substantial recovery. Supportive signals include the upgrades from JPMorgan and Barrington Research in September and the raised target from BNP Paribas Exane. Better-than-expected results at the next report could encourage analysts to reaffirm their targets.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

Two analysts hold Sell ratings, and Barclays' $25 target sits below the current price. HSBC's downgrade and the Baird and Freedom Broker target cuts show that some brokers have become more cautious. A small analyst group also means a single revision can shift the mean noticeably. Market-wide moves and sector-specific trends in vehicle auctions could affect the shares irrespective of analyst views.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Items to watch include fresh broker revisions, changes to the rating mix and whether the stock moves toward or away from the lowest published target of $25.
