• Neutral Sentiment: Despite Zacks’ revisions, the current consensus for Adtalem’s near-term full‑year EPS referenced by Zacks remains $6.20 — a reminder analysts differ on timing of earnings strength. MarketBeat ATGE
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut nearer‑term quarterly forecasts: Q3 2026 EPS was reduced to $1.76 (from $2.08) and Q3 2027 to $2.20 (from $2.26). Those downgrades likely drove the immediate negative market reaction as investors often weight near‑term earnings risk more heavily. MarketBeat ATGE
