The brokerage stated that the upgrade was made after the stock declined from the $230 range to its current level of $183 per share.

Among 26 brokerages, 19 rate the stock "Buy" or above, 6 rate it "Hold," and 1 rates it "Sell"; the median target price is $238 according to data compiled by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).
