On October 9, XP Inc. rose 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $31.715 per share, with turnover of $98.42 million.
The catalyst was UBS raising its target price on XP to $37 from $25 while maintaining a Buy rating on October 8, a level more than 37% above the FactSet consensus average of $26.95. This followed Itau BBA's upgrade to Outperform from Market Perform on October 6 with a target price increase to $27 from $19. The positive revisions continued to reflect optimism over Brazil's financial market reform expectations after the first-round presidential election results on October 5, when XP had surged over 30% intraday.
