FY2026 EPS Forecast for DeFi Technologies Cut by Analyst

Northland Securities has revised its FY2026 EPS estimate for DeFi Technologies (NASDAQ:DEFT) down to ($0.01) from $0.08. This downgrade follows similar actions from other brokerages, including Benchmark cutting its price target to $3 and Weiss Ratings and Wall Street Zen issuing "sell" ratings. Despite these changes, the consensus rating from MarketBeat remains a "Moderate Buy" with a $4.50 price target, as the stock trades near its 1-year low, and institutional investors like Charles Schwab and Millennium Management have significantly increased their stakes.
