Analyst Ratings Synthesis

The consensus rating is unknown, although ChartMill says 21 analysts cover MTD and reports an average target of $1,413.57. The available target figures do not establish a low, high, or full distribution: Benzinga reports a $1,491.67 average across recent Citigroup, Barclays, and Evercore ISI ratings, while Simply Wall St cites a target increase from $1,501 to $1,505. The most and least bullish analysts cannot be identified from the supplied snippets. Revision direction appears slightly positive in Simply Wall St's aggregate figure, but the timing does not establish a change during the past week. The substantive disagreement is whether strong fundamentals and estimate revisions outweigh slower organic growth and weaker long-term relative performance.
