MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bear Case

  • Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with CFO Beth Ann Costello selling 31,597 shares in early November 2026 and CEO Christopher Swift selling over 300,000 shares in February 2026, which may signal reduced internal confidence or personal financial needs.
  • The stock recently broke below its 200-day moving average in late October 2026, a technical indicator that often suggests a shift from a long-term uptrend to a potential downtrend or consolidation phase.
  • Several major brokerages have recently lowered their price targets, including Cantor Fitzgerald cutting its target from $145.00 to $136.00 and Morgan Stanley reducing its objective from $145.00 to $135.00, reflecting a more cautious outlook on the stock's near-term performance.
