  • Piper Sandler lifted its target to $740 from $500 and reiterated an Overweight rating on the same day as UBS.
  • Oppenheimer earlier increased its target to $740 with an Outperform rating, lifting forecasts to $8.6 billion in revenue and $7.2 billion in adjusted EBITDA, including a higher non‑gaming revenue outlook of $312 million.
