Pinterest (PINS, $23.20) gets price target boost from Deutsche Bank analyst
Pinterest got a price target hike from Deutsche Bank analyst.
Deutsche Bank analyst Lloyd Walmsley boosted his price target on the image sharing /social media company’s shares to $27 from $20. Walmsley affirmed his buy rating on the shares.
The analyst said that their decision was not about near-term upside for the second quarter, but optimism about the next six to 12 months, which they view as “far more important” compared to near-term risk around covid lockdowns.
Also on Wednesday, Facebook said it was shutting down the Hobbi – which could have been a potential rival of Pinterest.
