It's an insightful observation regarding the analyst coverage for IFRX. When looking at analyst actions, it's important to distinguish between an analyst rating upgrade and an adjustment to a price target.
Here's a breakdown of what Fintel's data shows for InflaRx N.V. (IFRX):
-
Analyst Recommendation Actions: The "Stock Upgrades/Downgrades" section on Fintel's IFRX page primarily tracks changes in an analyst's overall recommendation (e.g., from "Hold" to "Buy") or the initiation of new coverage.
-
For IFRX, recent entries show Oppenheimer initiating coverage with an "Outperform" rating on May 8, 2025. While a positive development, this is an initiation, not an upgrade of a previous rating.1
-
Guggenheim is listed as maintaining its "Buy" rating on March 26, 2025, which means their recommendation did not change at that time.1
-
Other entries further back in time include "Maintains" or "Reiterate" actions, with the most recent explicit "Upgrade" action being from SVB Leerink in November 2020 for the German listing (IF0), moving from "Market Perform" to "Outperform".2
-
Price Target Adjustments: Analysts frequently adjust their price targets based on new information, earnings, or market conditions, even if their overall recommendation (e.g., "Buy") remains unchanged. Fintel aggregates these individual price targets to provide an average one-year price target, which for IFRX is currently $4.37, with forecasts ranging from $2.02 to $10.50.1 While the average price target can fluctuate due to these adjustments, these individual target changes are not always explicitly listed as "upgrades" in the "Stock Upgrades/Downgrades" table unless the analyst's underlying rating also changes.
It's possible that the "6 analysts upgraded their pricing targets" refers to individual analysts raising their price forecasts while maintaining their existing ratings, or it could be information from a different data source that tracks price target changes more granularly than Fintel's primary "Upgrades/Downgrades" table for recommendations. The Fintel platform provides a comprehensive view of analyst sentiment by showing both the individual recommendation actions and the aggregated price targets.
