TD Cowen analyst Dan Brennan has adjusted the price target for 10x Genomics (TXG, Financial), decreasing it to $11 from a previous target of $15 while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock. The revision follows the company's decision to retract its annual guidance due to an unpredictable environment affecting U.S. A&G customers, who contribute to 40%-50% of the firm's sales. Despite this uncertainty, the company is making significant efforts to reduce expenses, which is considered a positive development by the analyst in a recent post-earnings evaluation.
