Jefferies raised its Roche target from CHF 230.00 to CHF 250.00 on October 9, 2026, while retaining an Underperform rating, according to FinanzNachrichten.de.

Target remains below the Swiss price

Its CHF 250.00 target is 35.00 percent below the CHF 384.60 last price reported for the Swiss listing on October 16, 2026. The analyst cited a 40.00 percent valuation premium and pointed to execution by Giredestrant and Fenebrutinib as important conditions for future gains.
