The most striking call of the session came on FICO. Analysts issued multiple rating changes and slashed the consensus target price to $1,299 from $1,435, a drop of nearly 10%. Two sells now appear in the consensus alongside five holds. Short interest sits at 8.8% of the free float, modest for a stock whose valuation commands this much debate.
Generac Holdings also drew downgrades. The consensus target fell to $289.56 from $293.94. Analysts are cooling on the power equipment maker after a strong run, and the move comes against a backdrop of rising demand headwinds.
Carnival Corporation saw conflicting calls within hours. One firm cut its target while another raised it, leaving the consensus edging up to $34.05. The net effect is marginal, but the churn signals disagreement about cruise demand heading into 2027.
Expeditors International picked up a new recommendation, with the consensus target sitting at $178.20. Taiwan's August export orders hit a record $103bn according to ORTEX Alt Data, nearly doubling year-on-year. That surge in goods trade could support freight volumes and makes the new coverage timely.
Eaton Corporation saw its target nudged up to $482.20, reflecting continued confidence in power infrastructure. NetApp also received a modest target lift to $198.25, supported by 18 hold ratings and no sells in the current consensus.
