Analysts delivered a notable downgrade to FTNT today. The cybersecurity giant, valued at $135 billion, slipped from Hold to Sell in the consensus view. Its average target price sits at $164.32. Short interest remains low at 2.2% of free float, so the downgrade is not a crowded short thesis.
AMD got a warmer reception. Analysts nudged the average target up to $631.71 from $629.21, keeping the chipmaker firmly in Buy territory with 43 Buy ratings. AMD carries a $1 trillion market cap and only 2.5% short interest.
NKE continued its difficult run with analysts trimming targets again, down to $39.36 from $40.52. Six analysts now rate it a Sell, double the number of Buys.
APTV also saw targets cut, to $66.06 from $66.61. The auto parts maker carries 16 Sell ratings against just one Buy. New York State new passenger vehicle registrations fell 46% year on year in September 2026 to 16,749 units, the smallest September on record, according to ORTEX Alt Data. That is tough backdrop for auto suppliers.
ACN bucked the trend. Analysts lifted the consensus target to $223.65, keeping 16 Buy ratings intact.
