Shares of TE Connectivity PLC (TEL.N) declined sharply today, hitting a 20-day low as investors reacted to growing cybersecurity concerns. The stock's recent price action indicates increased bearish momentum, prompting traders to reassess their positions. This downturn follows a troubling report from Oslo's public-transport authority, which revealed vulnerabilities in a Chinese electric bus's battery control system, suggesting it could be remotely disabled. Such findings have raised alarms about the broader implications for companies in the tech and transportation sectors, including TEL, which is rated highly for its growth potential. Investors are now closely monitoring the stock's performance against its 200-day moving average to gauge future trends.
Wall Street analysts forecast TEL stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for TEL is 270.70 USD with a low forecast of 240.00 USD and a high forecast of 297.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
