Unity Software Inc. (U) saw its stock price soar 5.03% during intraday trading on Tuesday, following a significant analyst upgrade from BofA Securities.
The brokerage firm upgraded Unity Software to "neutral" from "underperform" and raised its price target to $19 from $18. BofA cited an improved balance of risk, noting that negative catalysts and downward estimate revisions appear to be already priced into the company's valuation. The firm also highlighted Unity Engine's technology roadmap and the upcoming use of run-time data for ad targeting in the second quarter as positive near-term catalysts.
Additionally, BofA addressed concerns about generative artificial intelligence, stating it does not believe AI poses an "existential risk to Unity Engine" and could instead complement the platform. This upgrade reflects a reduced risk of further outlook cuts following the company's weaker-than-expected first-quarter guidance.
