  • Publisher 24/7 Wall St. set a $1,500 price target and a Hold rating, which implies about 8.6% upside and reflects a belief that big gains are already priced in.

  • The company’s latest quarter showed revenue of $5.95 billion, gross margin of 78.4%, and non-GAAP EPS of $23.41, with guidance for $7.75 billion to $8.25 billion next quarter.
