• Negative Sentiment: Zacks Research made several downward revisions to longer-term forecasts: 2027 EPS was reduced to $8.59 from $8.68, 2028 EPS to $8.93 from $9.27, and estimates for first-quarter 2028, second-quarter 2028, third-quarter 2027, and fourth-quarter 2027 were also cut. The reductions suggest analysts see somewhat slower earnings growth ahead, which is a negative factor for valuation.
