Morgan Stanley lifts VRTX target to $612
Watch: Look for Q1 earnings to confirm updated biopharma model strength and impact on guidance.
Vertex insiders Sachs Bruce I and Kewalramani Reshma bought shares worth $1.95M and $3.9M near $389 per share. Morgan Stanley raised its price target from $596 to $612 and kept an Overweight rating, citing updated biopharma models ahead of Q1 earnings. RBC Capital Markets also raised its target to $543 and maintained Outperform rating. Despite recent insider selling, two distinct insiders bought shares recently.
Insider buying coupled with upward analyst target revisions signals renewed confidence ahead of earnings, potentially stabilizing the stock amid recent selling pressure.
