• Positive Sentiment: Zacks modestly raised its Q1 2026 EPS estimate to $0.00 from ($0.01), a small sign that near‑term weakness may be stabilizing in the first quarter.
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks published longer‑range estimates (FY2028 EPS of $1.08) reflecting a multi‑year recovery scenario — positive for longer‑term thesis but distant for near‑term valuation and cash flow considerations.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks trimmed several near‑term and medium‑term forecasts: Q3 2026 EPS to $0.07 (from $0.09), FY2026 to $0.16 (from $0.17), and FY2027 to $0.59 (from $0.60). These cuts indicate analyst skepticism about near‑term margin/revenue recovery and likely pressure the stock today.
