Acuity (AYI) Cuts Price Target as Shares Fall on Mixed Earnings. Baird lowered its target for Acuity to $348 after a Q3 report that showed margin expansion outpacing revenue growth. The company’s Q4 earnings call added to the uncertainty, and the stock has been falling today. Analysts remain divided, with the average target still around $379.33 and a range of $345 to $440. The market is questioning what value the stock truly represents.
