On July 15, Dave Inc rose 5.29% in regular trading, trading around $408.14 per share, with turnover of approximately $87.17 million. The rally was driven by UBS significantly raising its price target on Dave from $300 to $470, a 56.7% increase, while maintaining its Buy rating.
UBS initially covered Dave in late May with a Buy rating and a $300 price target. The substantial upward revision reflects growing confidence in the company's growth trajectory. Following the adjustment, the analyst consensus price target for Dave rose to $388.55. Earlier this year, other firms also raised targets, including B. Riley adjusting to $370 and Barrington to $310, both maintaining bullish ratings.
Dave's fundamental momentum supports the optimism. In Q1, the company reported adjusted EPS of $3.64, beating the $2.87 consensus by 26.8%, with revenue of $158.4 million exceeding estimates. Full-year guidance calls for adjusted EPS of $14-$15, above the then-consensus of $13.57. The company was also added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index in late May, broadening its institutional investor base.
