The immediate catalyst was TD Cowen's cut in its price target from USD 166.00 to USD 152.00, while the brokerage kept a Buy rating, according to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026.

TD Cowen lowers its target

The new TD Cowen target sits USD 21.29 above the Nasdaq trading price, a gap of 16.3 percent. That comparison matters because the target reduction changes the valuation reference even though the published rating remains Buy.
