Shares of Toast, Inc. (NYSE: TOST) soared 5.29% in pre-market trading on Monday, building on the company's impressive performance from the previous week. The surge comes on the heels of strong first-quarter financial results and positive analyst reactions, which have bolstered investor confidence in the restaurant technology platform provider.

Toast's stock has been on an upward trajectory, with a remarkable 13.41% climb observed from May 5 to May 9. The company's robust quarterly performance, details of which were not specified, has evidently exceeded market expectations and sustained investor enthusiasm. This latest pre-market jump suggests that the positive momentum is carrying forward into the new trading week.

Adding to the bullish sentiment, analysts have revised their outlook on Toast following the earnings announcement. Notably, David Koning of Robert W. Baird maintained a Hold rating on the stock while boosting the price target to $42.00. This adjustment in price forecast, coupled with the strong Q1 results, appears to be the primary driver behind the stock's continued upward movement. As Toast rides this wave of positive news, investors will be closely watching to see if the company can maintain its growth trajectory in the coming quarters.
