Miami International price target raised to $52 from $48 at Piper Sandler

Piper Sandler raised the firm’s price target on Miami International (MIAX) to $52 from $48 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The company will host its first earnings call as a public company this Wednesday. The firm notes the stock has performed well since its IPO and currently trades at a 50% premium to the U.S. exchange peer group on 2027 price to earnings. Piper believes this premium is due to Miami International’s scarcity value and its takeout candidacy in the eyes of many investors. But while the forward price to earnings multiple may seem stretched, it trades at a 17% discount to peers on 2027 EV/EBITDA and the firm thinks consensus EPS estimates in Q4, 2026, and 2027 are too low.
