fell 3.5% in the afternoon session after investors reassessed the company's recent weak second-quarter financial results.

fell 4.6% in the afternoon session after multiple Wall Street analysts lowered their price targets on the stock. The negative sentiment from Wall Street follows price target reductions from several financial firms. While maintaining their ratings, analysts adjusted their outlooks. TD Cowen lowered its target from $25 to $21, and RBC Capital cut its target to $22 from $30. Similarly, Truist Securities and Barclays both reduced their price targets to $19. Oppenheimer also made a significant adjustment, lowering its target from $44 to $28.
