“It also raised its price target on shares to $100 from $76”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states the price target was raised to $100 from $76. However, the evidence provided shows a different price target of $60 from Bank of America, and another average target of $75.59 (up from $67.21). There is no evidence for a $100 target; the $60 target directly contradicts the $100 figure.
