The Israeli driving assistance tech stock, MobilEye (MBLY) rose since its IPO, only to fall back a bit, and rise again on Tuesday on news that it was signing a deal with Toyota, one of the last remaining automakers to ink a deal with the tech company. A Citigroup analyst, Itay Michaeli, raised price targets from $48 to $62, and says he sees the Toyota deal as a “major milestone for Mobileye.” In Detroit, Toyota unveiled its Highway Driving Assist System and Intelligent Transport Systems, and it is using MobilEye to drive its innovation. Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker raised estimates for MBLY from $46 to $65, and said “competitive threats are not lurking around the corner.”
