Google is gearing up for a doozy of an event Tuesday, where it’s expected to announce loads of new products including smartphones, connected speakers, and virtual-reality headsets.
In a note published Monday, Jefferies analysts wrote that the new products would give new life to Google’s ecosystem of apps and services. They set a target of $1,000 for parent company Alphabet’s stock.
Jefferies’ previous price target for the stock was $804.06.
From the Jefferies note:
“On Oct. 4 Google is expected to unveil a slew of new devices designed to showcase and drive usage of its best-in-class software services. Among the expected announcements: two new flagship smartphones designed to directly compete with the iPhone, a strategically important Bluetooth speaker that responds to voice commands, a new Chromecast audio/video streaming device, and a new OS called Andromeda, which will merge Chrome with Android.”
