Shares of Light & Wonder (LNW) are soaring 5.08% in pre-market trading on Monday, as investors react to positive analyst sentiment despite a minor price target adjustment. The gaming technology company's stock is gaining momentum following a series of analyst reports that maintain an overall bullish outlook.
Jefferies reaffirmed its Buy rating on Light & Wonder, setting a price target of $113.00.
