On October 9, Quanta fell 3.36% in regular trading, trading at $677.18 per share with turnover of $229 million. The decline was directly triggered after Mizuho Securities lowered its price target on the company from $741 to $684, prompting profit-taking following a 5.29% surge on October 3 that had closed at $719.56.

Despite the target cut, broader analyst sentiment remains positive. Truist kept a buy rating and adjusted its target to $945 from $976, still well above current levels. The company's second-quarter adjusted earnings of $4.24 per share significantly beat the consensus estimate of $3.30, and full-year guidance was sharply raised, with adjusted EPS expected between $16.45 and $16.95 versus the FactSet estimate of $14.01.
