Reason
Roth Capital lowered the firm's price target on Universal Display to $194 from $220 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported a Q3 revenue miss but management maintained its 2025 outlook with a bias toward the lower end of the sales range, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Roth reduced estimates and is still waiting for Blue as it resides in the hands of multiple Universal Display customers.

In the near-term, the market appears to have stabilized with demand from IT, while longer-term, IT and the emerging auto markets, as well as new 8.6 gen capacity, position the company for a sustained growth cycle in 2026 and beyond, the firm added.

Reason
BofA analyst Simon Woo lowered the firm's price target on Universal Display to $160 from $220 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm sees U.S. tariffs and slow progress in blue color material commercialization as "the new discount factors," but reiterates a Buy due to the company's high margin profile and strong net-cash position.
