JFrog stock rises as Cantor Fitzgerald maintains Overweight rating after strong Q2
On Monday, Citi analysts raised the price target for Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) stock to JPY3,200 from JPY3,000, while maintaining a Buy rating. The upgrade aligns with the broader analyst consensus of 1.75 (Buy) for Toyota, which currently trades at $190.57 with a market capitalization of $245 billion. Analysts cited value chain-driven earnings growth as a factor contributing to the decision, suggesting it could provide additional stability to Toyota’s earnings.
The analysts believe that the current share price does not fully reflect this growth potential, with Toyota currently trading at an attractive P/E ratio of 7.48. They also highlighted the company’s focus on improving the equity side of the return on equity (RoE) equation, aiming for a 20% target from its current 14% level.
Citi analysts noted that potential catalysts for Toyota in the second half of the year include share buybacks and a review of intra-group cross-holdings, particularly following the company’s annual general meeting.
The updated price target reflects the analysts’ revised earnings estimates for Toyota, which they believe will benefit from these strategic initiatives.
