downgrade

Buy -> Hold

Reason

Jefferies downgraded Bright Horizons to Hold from Buy with a price target of $135, down from $146. The firm sees the company's enrollment plateauing, driven by structural changes like hybrid work, universal pre-kindergarten, and pricing fatigue by parents. Moreover, Bright Horizons' adjusted operating margin will remain pressured, below pre-COVID levels in the medium term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies also believes the company's margin recovery will likely be muted.

Reason

UBS lowered the firm's price target on Bright Horizons to $130 from $148 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. UBS expects an in-line Q4, with 2025 EPS guidance possibly ahead of Street estimates on stronger margins but softer revenue, setting the stock up with a balanced risk/reward, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Strong Buy

Reason

Goldman Sachs lowered the firm's price target on Bright Horizons (BFAM) to $142 from $162 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm's analysis of alternative data linked to child care center enrollments, including Google search volumes for nearby child care services and Kastle card swipe data, points to continued increases in center occupancy rates at Bright Horizons and KinderCare (KLC), though the firm reduced its target multiple to reflect peer group multiple compression, the analyst tells investors.
