Asure Software price target raised to $14 from $12.50 at Northland

Northland raised the firm’s price target on Asure Software (ASUR) to $14 from $12.50 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares following Paychex’s (PAYX) announcement of a deal to acquire Paycor HCM (PYCR) for $22.50 per share. The $4.1B enterprise value paid in that deal “captures a meaningful valuation disparity” relative to Asure, despite its somewhat similar metrics, the analyst tells investors.
