Stephens raised the firm’s price target on Shift4 Payments (FOUR) to $110 from $90 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares.

In the absence of macro acceleration, the firm expects variability in returns across the space to stay elevated, with valuations remaining below historical levels, the analyst added.
