Alphabet price target raised to $1,150 from $1,050 at Piper Jaffray
Piper Jaffray analyst Sam Kemp raised his price target for Alphabet (GOOG) to $1,150 saying the shares remain his favorite large cap stock into year-end relative to Facebook (FB), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Snap (SNAP). The analyst's analysis of browser traffic share suggests Alphabet's traffic acquisition costs may be positioned to show smaller increases in Q3 than it has year-to-date as paid browsers' traffic share gains have slowed. Solid topline results and TAC relief would be a "significant positive" in the Alphabet narrative, Kemp tells investors in a pre-earnings research note. He reiterates an Overweight rating on the shares
