Analyst Views

On January 20, Sterne Agee raised its price target on the stock to $45 from $40, and maintained its Buy rating on the company. Recent action in the stock has been positive. Tyco is up approximately 50% since July, and touched a 52-week high of $38.88 on January 19. With such a large move, a significant amount of good news has already been priced into the stock. Investors will be looking to see if Q1 earnings justify continued buying going forward.
