2U should be bought on post-earnings weakness, says BarringtonBarrington analyst Alexander Paris, Jr. noted that 2U shares were sharply lower in after-market trading after the company's preliminary 2019 earnings guidance came in below consensus expectations due to planned increases in marketing expenses. He lowered his price target on 2U shares to $75 from $100 to account for his lower near-term earnings expectations as well as lower valuation multiples overall, but sees the post-earnings selloff as a buying opportunity and keeps an Outperform rating on the stock. |
