• Positive Sentiment: Analyst re‑ratings and price‑target lifts — Multiple firms (UBS, Wells Fargo, BofA, Susquehanna, Stephens, TD Cowen, Truist, Stifel, BMO, etc.) raised targets or upgraded ratings after the results, supporting further upside sentiment. Article Link

• Negative Sentiment: Some caution in the market and mixed guidance reaction — a few headlines note the company gave a relatively cautious near‑term forecast that caused intraday profit‑taking, and one major house (Morgan Stanley) still expresses an underweight stance with a much lower target.
