• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut a series of forward quarterly and annual EPS estimates for ARE (multiple reductions across Q1–Q3 2026, Q1–Q4 2027 and FY2026–FY2027). Notable moves include lowering FY2026 to $6.39 (from $6.51) and FY2027 to $5.92 (from $6.33). These downward revisions reduce near- to medium-term earnings visibility and likely pressure the stock.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks maintained a “Hold” rating while trimming several quarterly estimates (Q1 2026 to $1.74, Q2 2026 to $1.63, Q3 2026 to $1.53 and multiple 2027 quarters). The broad pattern of cuts suggests analysts see slower growth or higher risk vs. prior forecasts, which can weigh on investor sentiment and valuation multiples.
