  Jefferies raises target for Meta to $715 - 'Buy'

  NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Research firm Jefferies raised its price target for Meta from $675 to $715 and maintained its "Buy" rating. Although investors in the US software industry are likely to be more selective in the short term due to seasonal effects and the strong price performance in the second half of 2024, the outlook remains good, wrote analyst Brent Thill in an industry report published Monday. The likely improvement in fundamentals over the course of the year, as well as the potential for high revenue contributions from AI-related businesses, should lead to another strong year for the sector. His favorites included Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Salesforce./mis/ck
