What to watch

1. Needham kept its Buy rating on Better Home & Finance while lifting the price target to $22.00 from $15.00, so the rating itself did not change. Confirmed
2. Watch whether other analysts follow Needham with their own rating or price target changes for Better Home & Finance, which could shift how the stock is viewed. Proposed
3. Track the share price relative to the new $22.00 target, since a target represents where the analyst thinks the stock could go over time. Analyst inference
