Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. (AVAH) shares are soaring 5.27% in pre-market trading on Friday, following a positive analyst action. The healthcare services provider's stock is reacting to news of a price target increase from a major financial institution.
RBC Capital Markets has raised its price target on Aveanna Healthcare Holdings to $7 from the previous $6, while maintaining a Sector Perform rating on the stock. This upgrade comes as a vote of confidence in the company's near-term prospects and has sparked investor interest ahead of the market open.
Despite the optimistic price target from RBC, it's worth noting that the overall analyst consensus on Aveanna Healthcare remains cautious. According to FactSet, the average rating for AVAH is "hold," with a mean price target of $5.93. This mixed sentiment suggests that while there's potential upside, as indicated by RBC's new target, investors should carefully consider the varying opinions in the market before making investment decisions.
