• Negative Sentiment: Near-term cuts: Northland cut its FY2026 EPS to $0.22 (from $0.35) and trimmed quarterly 2026 forecasts (Q2 to $0.04, Q3 to $0.06, Q4 to $0.09). It also reduced FY2027 and FY2028 estimates (FY2027 to $0.46 from $0.50; FY2028 to $0.63 from $0.66). Those downward revisions signal softer near-term profitability and help explain some caution among investors. Consensus FY current-year remains around $0.41, so Northland’s FY2026 view is notably below consensus. MarketBeat INTT
