Jefferies raised the firm's price target on Zillow to $77 from $75 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm expects upside in Q1, though higher mortgage rates and softer housing data exiting the quarter could encourage Zillow to guide Q2 conservatively. Still, the firm sees tailwinds from new products driving upside to consensus in the coming years, the analyst added in a preview note for the U.S. Internet group.
