Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Q3 results miss consensus on revenue and EPS; pre-market -10% move implies price sensitivity to quarterly cadence. Guidance remains positive for 2026/27, but the market focused on near-term miss and target revisions from analysts, which historically weigh on multiples until beat-through catalysts emerge.
