Shares of child care and education company Bright Horizons (NYSE:BFAM)
fell 5.3% in the afternoon session after analysts at Goldman Sachs and BMO Capital lowered their price targets on the company's shares. The price target cuts occurred even though Bright Horizons reported strong third-quarter results that beat expectations and raised its full-year guidance. Goldman Sachs reduced its price target to $130 from $146, while BMO Capital lowered its target to $124 from $130. Both firms kept their positive ratings on the stock. The company's results were driven by its high-margin back-up care segment, which grew 26% from the previous year. BMO Capital noted its adjustment was to "reflect more current multiples," suggesting that despite the company's solid performance, the firm revised its valuation of the stock downward.
