Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) is one of the best affordable stocks under $5 to invest in. On July 18, Jefferies downgraded Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) to Hold from Buy, bringing the price target down to $4.50 from $5.20.

The firm told investors that although Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) reported better-than-expected fiscal Q1 2025 results, investors are underestimating the time it would take for the company to unlock value, either through divestitures or organic means.

Jefferies sees Clarivate Plc’s (NYSE:CLVT) 2026 revenue as flat with 2025 levels, and risk to its business operations due to the current administration’s plans to cut funding for the National Institutes of Health and post-secondary education.

The firm thus sees Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) trading sideways in the near term, justifying the downgrade.

Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) provides global information, workflow solutions, and analytics. The company operates through the following segments: Academia and Government (A&G), Intellectual Property (IP), and Life Sciences and Healthcare (LS&H).
