Wix.com Ltd (WIX) shares are soaring 5.26% in pre-market trading on Thursday, defying a series of analyst price target cuts. The stock's surge comes on the heels of the company's recently released Q2 earnings report, which appears to have impressed investors despite the more cautious stance from some Wall Street analysts.
Several major financial institutions have adjusted their outlook on Wix.com. Barclays reduced its target price from $240 to $235, while Piper Sandler cut its target from $225 to $206. Raymond James made a more significant reduction, lowering its target from $250 to $200. However, these cuts seem to have been overshadowed by the company's strong quarterly performance.
Notably, Scotiabank's analyst Nat Schindler maintained a Buy rating on Wix with a price target of $255, significantly higher than the reduced targets from other firms. This vote of confidence, combined with the positive Q2 results, appears to be fueling investor optimism. As the market digests the earnings report and weighs it against the mixed analyst sentiment, Wix.com's stock continues to show resilience and growth potential in the competitive web development and hosting space.
