Price target raised
Analyst Heath Terry of Goldman Sachs increased the price target on Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) to $65 from $46 and maintained a “Buy” rating on the stock noting increased efforts to drive user growth, engagement and an increase in monetization.
“While certainly the result of prior development, we believe this accelerating pace is more indicative of the company’s ongoing capabilities now that site stability issues have been resolved,” Terry wrote in the note.
