Morning note · August 15, 2026

Provides management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing solutions to businesses and governments worldwide.
Each group's sentiment and how much it drove today's overall move:
News sentiment -58; led today's move.
Retail sentiment -95; added to it.
News commentary centered on fund investor letters souring on the stock, with Aoris International Fund calling its multi-year holding a "costly mistake" and Polen Focus Growth exiting the position amid AI-driven market narrowness. Retail commentary took a sharper cautious turn, framing AI's rapid advance as an existential threat and floating roughly even odds the shares eventually go to zero, alongside interest in re-entering a short above $200. Both groups lean negative and share the AI-disruption worry, though the retail view is far more dire than the measured tone of the fund letters.
