BNP Paribas Exane revised its views on two of the largest U.S. technology companies, lifting Amazon.com Inc. to Outperform from Neutral while trimming Alphabet Inc. to Neutral from Outperform. The brokerage raised its 12-month price target for Amazon to $254 from $200, implying further upside for the world’s biggest online retailer. Alphabet’s price target was cut to $172 from $213. Amazon shares gained roughly 1% in U.S. trading after the announcement. Alphabet was little changed, with investors digesting the lower rating and reduced target.
