Analysts trimmed targets on ACN today. The consensus price fell from $208.16 to $197.65. That is a sharp drop for a $78 billion company. Accenture faces ongoing pressure from AI disruption in IT services.

ALB got a warmer reception. Albemarle's average target nudged up to $214.65 from $213.97. Lithium demand recovery hopes appear to be driving renewed analyst interest in the chemicals giant. Short interest sits at 9.1% of free float — bears remain but optimism is building.

LULU saw a target cut. The average fell from $133.74 to $132.16. Analysts remain cautious on lululemon amid slowing North American growth.

EFX also took a small target trim. Equifax's average slipped from $222.90 to $222.43. Seventeen analysts hold buy ratings, but the cut signals near-term caution on credit data volumes.
