Four firms raised targets on Charles River Labs Friday, after Thursday's Investor Day: Baird to 334 from 291, RBC to 322 from 282, Barclays to 330 from 300, and Mizuho to 295 from 264 (targets via MarketBeat).
They are all really pricing the same slide: the 2026 outlook. Revenue reaffirmed at about 3.9 billion, EPS guide lifted to 11.45 against an 11.33 consensus, and first-ever 2030 growth targets.
The stock jumped about 5 percent Thursday.
The pushback is already on the tape: a Seeking Alpha note says the Investor Day numbers are fully priced in. Friday's cluster looks like catch-up, not leadership.
