Boyd Gaming price target raised to $76 from $71 at Stifel

Stifel analyst Steven Wieczynski raised the firm’s price target on Boyd Gaming (BYD) to $76 from $71 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Nationwide, the retail customer has remained roughly neutral around trough levels, while spending from core customers continues to grow, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Boyd remains one of the better positioned regional gaming operators to own in any environment, but more so now given the uncertain macro, the firm says.
