Evercore raises the target
Evercore's USD 101.00 target remains below the average target of USD 98.11 cited by MarketBeat? Actually, it is above that average. MarketBeat reported that 13 analysts rated the stock Buy and seven rated it Hold, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target of USD 98.11. The target change therefore adds a measurable valuation reference, but it does not alter the company's operating results.
