The mixed analyst ratings for SEI Inv (NASDAQ:SEIC) in the last quarter indicate that there is no clear consensus on the stock's short-term direction. The average price target of $61.5 implies an upside from the current price of $57.46, but the presence of both bullish and bearish ratings suggests that the stock's performance may be uncertain in the short term. The 9.82% increase in the average price target from the previous average of $56.00 indicates that analysts have become slightly more optimistic about the stock, but the overall mixed ratings still leave room for uncertainty.
