Neutral

Reason

Goldman Sachs raised the firm's price target on Cerence to $11 from $10 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Cerence posted a solid quarter, beating revenue and EBITDA expectations and issuing FY26 guidance boosted by a sizable legal settlement, while core metrics like pricing per unit and expected 8% FY26 core growth showed constructive traction, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Backlog and penetration rates remain flat, and Goldman says it wants to see clearer evidence of sustained core-business acceleration, potentially via new xUI wins.

TD Cowen analyst Itay Michaeli lowered the firm's price target on Cerence to $10 from $11.50 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Though the firm remains constructive on the GenAI penetration story and Cerence's positioning after the company reported a fiscal Q2 beat and revised up its FY25 EBITDA and cash flow guidance, TD notes it lowered its price target on lower auto production forecasts.

Reason

Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan lowered the firm's price target on Cerence to $10 from $12 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm notes that the company's Q2 beat and management's guided FY25 raises margin guidance. The free cash flow turnaround came just in time ahead of the June 2025 convert expiration. While Cerence continues its turnaround, Wells remains on the sidelines given market risk and valuation.

Hold

Reason

Goldman Sachs lowered the firm's price target on Cerence to $8 from $14 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm reduced its auto industry outlook and estimates, saying it will be hard for the auto industry to fully pass on tariff costs, especially with softening consumer demand more generally. Tariffs will be a source of downside for both auto makers and suppliers, although the car manufacturers can partly mitigate tariffs with pricing, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Goldman's new estimates also reflect increasing strength of the Chinese car makers, and a slower electric vehicle transition in the U.S. and potentially Europe.
