Morgan Stanley lifted its target to €115 from €114 and kept an Overweight stance, which signals ongoing confidence in the shares at that valuation level.

Citi later reduced its Publicis target by €10, suggesting less headroom versus its earlier appraisal and a more cautious stance on upside from current levels. Deutsche Bank also cut its target by €5, while Barclays moved to a downgraded rating, pointing to concerns around how current execution and growth expectations line up with recent share pricing.
