GEMI Price Targets Slashed

Other analysts also lowered their price targets on GEMI stock, but had a more bullish rating. Rosenblatt cut its price target to $6 from $9 but kept its ‘Buy’ rating on Gemini, citing progress by the company on profitability despite "brutal crypto market conditions." 

The firm cited management guidance for 20% lower core expenses in the second half of 2026 that it said should help shield profitability during a prolonged crypto downturn.
