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.

  • The company's revenue of $1.91 billion fell slightly short of analyst estimates, which may raise concerns about future growth potential.
  • Despite a strong dividend increase, the payout ratio is at 49.23%, indicating that nearly half of the earnings are being distributed as dividends, which could limit reinvestment in the business.
