Analysts Cut ACN and Adobe, Lift Intel

Two mega-cap names took hits from analysts on Monday. Consensus target prices fell for both ACN and ADBE, with both receiving downward recommendation changes.

Accenture's average analyst target slipped to $237.82 from $240.51. The IT consulting giant carries a $109bn market cap. Adobe's target dropped to $327.54, down from $328.29 a week earlier. Both stocks sit in the large-cap software and services space. Adobe faces persistent concerns over AI competition eating into its creative tools business.

INTC bucked the trend. The average analyst target rose to $90.25 from $88.71. That is a meaningful lift for a stock that has been under pressure for years. Intel's $498bn market cap reflects its recent AI-related rebound. The consensus still sits firmly in Hold territory, with 31 holds against 12 sells.

FTNT also drew positive target revisions. The cybersecurity firm's average target climbed to $109.25 from $107.86. Fortinet holds 29 buys versus 10 sells. That is one of the stronger buy ratios in the current batch of changes.

UNH saw its target edge up to $406.62. The health insurer is rebuilding after a turbulent stretch. Analysts appear to be cautiously restoring confidence.
