Analysts split after strong results
The downgrade followed a second-quarter performance that beat the cited consensus. According to MarketBeat, revenue reached USD 308.86 million in the second quarter, versus USD 297.58 million expected, while earnings per share came to USD 0.33 against USD 0.28 consensus. The revenue comparison represents a USD 11.28 million beat, giving the rating change a more cautious tone than the operating result alone.
MarketBeat also reported that the broader analyst group held a consensus rating of Hold with an average price target of USD 9.60. Morgan Stanley had raised its target from USD 6.00 to USD 7.00 in an August 11, 2026 research note, while Wedbush cut its target from USD 12.00 to USD 9.00 on August 6, 2026, according to the same MarketBeat report.
AI growth meets client pressure

The same report said revenue from the largest client declined 22 percent in the quarter, making client concentration a counterweight to the AI expansion.
