The week was choppy: shares opened at $71.51 on Monday and dipped to around $68.22 on Tuesday before recovering to finish at $72 on Friday, with a 7.55% amplitude. Average daily volume of roughly 1.46 million shares came in about 12.4% below the 60-day median, pointing to quieter turnover. There was no major catalyst this week.

The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target price of $103.94 sits roughly 44.4% above the latest close of $72. Targets range from $49 to $140, reflecting wide dispersion. The stock ranks 7th by rating among 40 names in the communication equipment sector.

## The Week Ahead

Key US macro data lands early next week: the S&P Global services PMI final print and ISM non-manufacturing PMI arrive on Monday, 5 October, with the latter expected at 55 versus a prior 55.4. Tuesday brings international trade data, and Wednesday sees the EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventory reports. These prints could shape risk appetite for growth stocks.
