The stock crossed above its 5-day simple moving average (SMA), indicating a potential shift in momentum as investors react positively to the recent announcement of a CEO transition.

Overweight
Reason
KeyBanc lowered the firm's price target on Alight to $2.50 from $6 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Coming off a choppy year for HCIT stocks, fundamentally, the firm did see a "year of inflection" for many of its names with estimate revisions plus valuations largely bottoming. While KeyBanc expects momentum to continue for most of its coverage, the firm does see valuation multiples impacted by competition concerns and regulatory impacts.

Wedbush lowered the firm's price target on Alight to $9 from $11 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm notes Alight reported its Q1 2025 results, which were a strong start to the year with a beat on the top-line while meeting Street expectations on the bottom-line as the company's recurring revenue streams continue picking up traction across its customers base with its client-centric focus resonating well and leading to new and expanded wins. While noting a more difficult macro backdrop that may elongate client decision-making, Wedbush believes Alight remains well-positioned to deliver necessary solutions for clients to drive down costs across operations, while taking strategic steps towards its mid-term targets.
