Commentary

The Feb 10 guidance shock drove sharply negative near-term sentiment and a large selloff; however, most 12‑month analyst targets remain well above the current price, creating a gap between short-term risk-off positioning and longer-term bullish expectations [#PR-2026-02-10] [#SERP-1] [#SERP-3].
