Analysts Cut Palantir, Back Darden and Gilead

Analysts trimmed their price target on PLTR to $182.75, down from $183.73. The AI data firm carries a $294 billion market cap. Its short interest sits at just 3.1% of free float — bears are not pressing hard.

DRI picked up the most bullish treatment. Analysts lifted the consensus target to $226.23, up from $225.58. The Olive Garden owner has a $24 billion market cap. Five percent of its free float is shorted, suggesting modest skepticism.

GILD got a target bump to $157.57 from $157.04. The pharma giant's short interest is a slim 2.1% of free float. Availability is essentially unlimited — no squeeze risk here.

Homebuilder LEN faced the sharpest target cut. Analysts dropped the consensus to $89.50 from $90.14. Nearly 9% of Lennar's free float is short. That is the highest bear exposure among today's movers. Housing market pressure may be weighing on sentiment.

BIIB also saw its target trimmed slightly to $220.13. Meanwhile SCHW received a small target lift to $116.05.

The overall tone is cautious. Downgrades and target cuts outnumber upgrades today.
