Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU)
Pivotal Research raised Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) on Thursday after citing “encouraging” inflation news that made a “soft landing” for the economy more probable.
In a note to clients, analyst Jeff Wlodarczak said, “Against what we view as a more encouraging backdrop and a retrenchment in the valuation, we no longer view ROKU as a fundamental short at current valuation levels and therefore increased our rating to HOLD.” The firm’s $60 price target was left unaltered.
Shares of Roku (ROKU) increased 0.5% in premarket trade to $65.88.
Wlodarczak downgraded Roku (ROKU) to sell last month due to concerns about the state of the economy.
On Roku, analysts are remarkably divided (ROKU). While Wall Street analysts gave it a BUY rating, Seeking Alpha authors gave it an average HOLD rating. In contrast, ROKU is rated as a STRONG SELL by Seeking Alpha’s quant system, which routinely outperforms the market.
