Analyst Jason Kupferberg of Bank of America Securities maintained a Hold rating on Shift4 Payments (FOUR – Research Report), reducing the price target to $100.00.
Jason Kupferberg has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both positive performance and potential risks for Shift4 Payments. The company reported a strong first-quarter performance, exceeding expectations across key financial metrics and slightly raising its 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. Despite these positive results, Kupferberg remains cautious due to the uncertain macroeconomic environment and potential execution risks associated with the CEO transition and the integration of Global Blue.
Additionally, while the company has shown resilience in spending across its verticals, including discretionary sectors like restaurants and hospitality, there are concerns about maintaining this momentum. The stock’s current trading price is close to the price objective, suggesting limited upside potential in the near term. These factors collectively justify the Hold rating, as they indicate a balanced outlook with both opportunities and challenges ahead for Shift4 Payments.
According to TipRanks, Kupferberg is an analyst with an average return of -3.4% and a 49.19% success rate. Kupferberg covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Cognizant, Shift4 Payments, and Accenture.
In another report released on April 28, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $107.00 price target.
