Analyst Consensus
Hold
Analyst Ratings Synthesis
The supplied consensus is Hold across 34 analysts. Its target summary lists a $250 low, a $295 mean and a $250 high; because the mean exceeds the stated high, the figures do not support a reliable target cluster or spread. The evidence also does not identify the most- or least-bullish analyst. The only explicit rating action in the supplied snippets is Citi analyst Jon Tower maintaining Buy while lowering his target to $295 from $305. That is a downward target revision, but the excerpt provides no action date and no other dated weekly revisions. The available evidence shows a difference between the overall Hold consensus and Citi's Buy rating, but does not explain the underlying disagreement.
