Smartsheet (NYSE:SMAR) stock is on the rise Tuesday following an update from Morgan Stanley analyst Stan Zlotsky.
The update from Morgan Stanley has it increasing its price target for SMAR stock from $63 per share to $90 per share. What doesn’t change is its rating, which is sticking at overweight.
Morgan Stanley isn’t the only analyst updating its price target for SMAR stock today. Several other firms, including Needham, RBC Capital, and BMO Capital also upped their price targets after a successful Q3 for the company.
