• Neutral Sentiment: The current-year consensus EPS estimate remains approximately $18.90, while Zacks projects FY2026 EPS of $18.44. The small differences indicate that the revisions are unlikely to materially change the immediate earnings narrative on their own.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks lowered its Q3 2027 EPS estimate to $4.64 from $4.79, cut Q4 2027 to $6.81 from $6.84, and reduced Q1 2028 to $4.58 from $4.60. It also lowered FY2026 EPS to $18.44 from $18.59, leaving the forecast below the current consensus.
• Negative Sentiment: The largest revision was to FY2028 EPS, which fell to $21.58 from $22.34. That reduction implies weaker longer-term earnings growth than previously expected and may be contributing to investor caution, particularly with the stock trading near its 200-day moving average.
