Alphabet: Jefferies raises target price
(CercleFinance.com) - Jefferies confirms its 'buy' recommendation on Alphabet shares, with a target price raised from $220 to $235, believing that the outlook looks positive as consumers, advertisers and businesses continue to spend.
The broker points to a 'win-win' publication, with revenues ahead of expectations across all segments, Cloud accelerating for a fourth quarter, and a better-than-expected operating margin despite ongoing investments.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly seen as a well-managed enabler, improving advertising effectiveness, attracting customers to the Cloud and improving internal efficiency, Jefferies adds.
