Investing.com

Cowen upgraded Snap to outperform from market perform and raised its price target on the stock to $20 from $16. Snap (NYSE:SNAP) jumped 4%.

Citing its survey of ad buyers, Cowen said many are "considering SNAP for new P13-34 branding campaigns" in 2020, raising the prospect for higher ad sales at a time when ad pricing is stabilizing.

The bullish call from Cowen echoed an upgrade from Jefferies on Snap to hold from buy amid signs of "accelerating user growth."
