Take Stock Of The Week Ahead

Get all the latest Share Market trends and news to set you up for the week ahead.

Credit Suisse Analyst Stephen Ju maintained an Outperform rating on Facebook Inc. FB and raised the price target from $258 to $305.

Here were some of the analyst’s investment takeaways:

  • After seeing month-on-month improvements throughout April and May, Facebook. advertiser feedback suggests moderating brand budget growth recovery in June.
  • Updated second-quarter checks show that entertainment, media and retail “declined less severely.”
  • Facebook has the potential for better-than-expected ad revenue growth on product innovation such as Facebook Shops and search in Marketplaces. 

Overall, Credit Suisse's near-term estimates remain unchanged for now.

The sell-side firm sees some risks associated with slower-than-expected adoption of Facebook ad units, greater regulatory oversight and longer-than-expected headwinds from COVID-19.

FB Price Action: Shares of Facebook closed Friday’s session at $242.03.
