Why is the PointsBet share price jumping?
The catalyst for the rise in the PointsBet share price on Wednesday has been a rebound in the tech sector following a strong night on the NASDAQ index.
This has seen the S&P/ASX All Technology index rise an impressive 4%, with many beaten down loss-making tech shares rising even strongly.
This includes Life360 Inc (ASX: 360), Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1), and Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) shares, which are all by 5% or more today.
Can PointsBet keep rising?
The good news for investors is that one leading broker still sees significant upside potential for the PointsBet share price over the next 12 months.
According to a recent note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have a speculative buy rating and $5.25 price target on its shares. This implies staggering potential upside of over 150% for investors between now and this time next year.
This could make PointsBet one to consider if you have a higher than average tolerance for risk.
