“To be more bullish we’d need to have more conviction behind a more pronounced sequential uptick in Axon performance/ budget gains,” they wrote.
BofA analysts hiked the price target by $3 to $21 per share as an upside surprise in the Software business “implies higher FY23 baseline.”
Still, they also reiterated a Neutral-rating as “further evidence of innovation-led share gains or an ad market recovery is likely needed to re-rate the stock.”
