Analysts have trimmed their price target on Canaan to $2.12 from $2.91, as updated assumptions reflect a lower revenue growth rate and a higher discount rate, partially offset by a higher projected profit margin and a slightly lower future P/E multiple.

- Net Profit Margin: raised from 8.49% to 12.31%, suggesting higher assumed profitability on each $ of revenue in the updated model.
