UBS maintains Wolters Kluwer at 'Neutral' - Target 117 euros
ZURICH (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Swiss bank UBS has maintained its rating for Wolters Kluwer at "Neutral" with a price target of €117 following an interim report. The information provider's confirmed annual targets are unlikely to have a significant impact on consensus forecasts, Adam Berlin wrote in a study released Thursday. The proposed early termination of the share buyback program should also not have a significant impact on earnings per share for 2025./rob/edh/tav

JPMorgan raises target for Wolters Kluwer to 143 euros - 'Neutral'
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US bank JPMorgan raised its price target for Wolters Kluwer from €142 to €143 and maintained its rating at "Neutral."

Bernstein relaunches Wolters Kluwer with 'Market-Perform'
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US analyst Bernstein Research has reinstated its "Market Perform" rating on Wolters Kluwer shares, with a price target of €160. The media IT service provider's shares have underperformed since the beginning of the year due to various factors, none of which are structurally worrying, wrote Christophe Cherblanc in his reassessment on Wednesday. However, their unusual combination is the reason for his caution. Continued strong growth expectations are facing headwinds from exchange rate developments. In addition, some market participants may have been overly optimistic about the revenue benefits of Generative AI./ck/ag

UBS lowers target for Wolters Kluwer to 148 euros - 'Neutral'
ZURICH (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Swiss bank UBS lowered its price target for Wolters Kluwer from €160 to €148 ahead of second-quarter results, but left the rating at "neutral." Analyst Adam Berlin cut his earnings per share estimate for the coming year by four percent in a study released Tuesday. This was due, among other things, to exchange rate effects. The information services provider also incurred higher financing costs following acquisitions. Stock purchases are likely to be lower in the future./rob/bek/gl

JPMorgan lowers target for Wolters Kluwer to 142 euros - 'Neutral'
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US bank JPMorgan has lowered its price target for Wolters Kluwer from €145 to €142 and left the rating at "Neutral." Analyst Daniel Kerven does not see the media stock's weakness since the beginning of the year as a buying opportunity, according to a study released Monday. The below-average price performance is the result of lower average analyst expectations for organic growth and earnings per share. It is also justified by the uncertainties surrounding the results and the share price./rob/ck/stw

UBS lowers Wolters Kluwer to 'Neutral' - target remains at 160 euros
ZURICH (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Swiss bank UBS has downgraded shares in Wolters Kluwer from "Buy" to "Neutral," with its price target unchanged at €160. At the current price level, the information services provider's organic revenue growth would have to accelerate to more than 6 percent to drive the shares up further, Adam Berlin wrote in his reassessment published Friday. Meanwhile, shares of industry peer Relx, which he expects to achieve organic growth of 7 percent in 2025, are trading at a similar valuation. At Wolters Kluwer, the expert considers such a level unlikely in the medium term, despite a recovery in the second half of 2025./rob/gl/ag

UBS lowers target for Wolters Kluwer to 160 euros - 'Buy'

JPMorgan maintains Wolters Kluwer at 'Neutral' - Target 163 euros
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US bank JPMorgan has maintained a "neutral" rating on Wolters Kluwer with a price target of €163. Based on earnings expectations (EPS) for 2025, shares of specialist publishers Relx and Wolters Kluwer appear expensive compared to the overall market, but they are trading at a 20 percent discount to their US peers, Daniel Kerven wrote in his analysis published Thursday. The medium-term organic growth prospects justify the high valuations. He currently favors Relx due to the increased potential of artificial intelligence (AI), accelerating growth, and the potential sale of its volatile exhibition business, which could close the valuation gap with its US competitors./gl/ag
