JMP Securities analyst Devin Ryan revised the target price for Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) from $220 to $300, on March 13.

“Coinbase remains well positioned if we are correct: Maintain Market Outperform rating and increase price target to $300 from ($220),” said Devin Ryan. JMP Securities gave a similar price target for Coinbase in September 2021 and the COIN price rallied over $300 in the next month.

Recently, Goldman Sachs upgraded their rating on Coinbase shares from “sell” to “neutral” and adjusted their price target to $282. On Tuesday, investment bank Raymond James upgraded Coinbase to “market perform” from “underperform”.
