Wells Fargo's analyst Brandon Couillard has reduced the price target for Mesa Labs (MLAB, Financial) from $120 to $100. The decision comes as the company's Q4 revenues matched expectations, but adjusted EBITDA fell short by approximately $2 million due to higher-than-anticipated bonus accruals. This shortfall has led to a significant drop in MLAB's share price. Wells Fargo has retained an Underweight rating on the stock, citing the weakness in Q4 profit margins as a primary concern.
