Analysts Cut Targets on ACN, LULU as GTA6 Lifts TTWO

Analyst target prices shifted across several major names Friday. The moves reveal where Wall Street sees opportunity — and where patience is thinning.

Take-Two Interactive drew the most bullish action. The consensus target nudged up to $279.45. Analysts remain heavily overweight the stock. GTA 6's launch window is keeping sentiment firmly positive. Short interest sits at just 4.2% of free float.

Accenture took a hit. The average target fell from $208.16 to $197.65 — a drop of over $10. The consulting giant faces ongoing pressure from IT spending caution. Short interest is modest at 4.4% of free float.

lululemon athletica saw its target trimmed to $132.16 from $133.74. Two analysts now carry sell ratings. Short interest stands at 7.5% of free float. Bears are building a quiet position.

Albemarle bucked the trend. Target prices edged up to $214.65. The lithium miner carries 9.1% short interest. That combination of rising targets and elevated shorts could set up a squeeze if demand recovers.

CDW Corporation received a new recommendation with a $142 target. The IT reseller remains a consensus hold among analysts.
