Levi Strauss & Co (LEVI) reported Q3 2026 earnings, with direct-to-consumer (DTC) growth falling short of expectations due to softer traffic in the US and Europe.

Distribution costs were higher than expected, delaying cost savings until 2027.

Citizens reiterated a Market Outperform rating and $60 price target for Applied Digital (APLD), citing progress in AI infrastructure.
