On July 16, Dave Inc rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $436.45/share, with turnover of $166 million. The stock extended gains for a second consecutive session following UBS's significant price target revision.
On the news front, UBS raised its price target on Dave from $300 to $470, representing a 56.7% increase, while maintaining a Buy rating. The adjusted analyst consensus target price has risen to $388.55, which the current share price now exceeds. UBS first initiated coverage on Dave in late May with a Buy rating and $300 target, making this sharp upward revision within a short timeframe a strong signal of growing conviction in the company's growth trajectory.
