• Negative Sentiment: Zacks sharply cut its Q4 2027 EPS view (from $7.60 to $5.46) — a sizeable downward revision that may signal one‑off headwinds, reserve pressure or modeling changes; this large cut is the main negative driver and could weigh on sentiment.
• Negative Sentiment: Other downward moves: Zacks trimmed Q4 2026 (to $6.91 from $7.07), cut Q1 2026 (to $6.25 from $6.40) and lowered FY2027 (to $27.24 from $27.92) — these reductions temper the otherwise constructive near‑term revisions and add uncertainty to the medium‑term outlook.
