Avery Dennison stock (US0536111091) opened at $175.27 on September 7, 2026, while MarketBeat said Zacks Research cut its Q3 2026 EPS estimate to $2.30 from $2.31 and kept a full-year 2026 view of $10.15 per share. The same report says the company's latest quarterly results delivered $2.89 EPS and $2.46 billion revenue, a 10.9 percent increase year over year.

Analysts keep a firm base

MarketBeat also reported a Moderate Buy consensus rating and an average target price of $201.22 for Avery Dennison on September 7, 2026. Against the $175.27 opening price, that leaves the stock below the target band and gives the chart a clear reference point for near-term trading.

The latest quarter adds the second layer of support. Net margin was 7.62 percent, return on equity reached 34.60 percent, and the company guided Q3 2026 EPS to $10.000-10.300 for the full year update quoted in the same report.

Dividend and valuation

MarketBeat put Avery Dennison's market capitalization at $13.28 billion, with a 19.20 price-to-earnings ratio and a 2.12 PEG ratio on September 7, 2026. It also noted a quarterly dividend of $1.00 per share, equal to $4.00 annualized and a 2.3 percent yield.

Packaging still drives earnings

Avery Dennison's core business remains pressure-sensitive materials, tags, labels and RFID-related products used in labeling and packaging. That mix matters because the reported quarter combined 10.9 percent revenue growth with a 34.60 percent return on equity, showing that margins and volume are still doing the heavy lifting.

Stock level to watch

At $175.27 on September 7, 2026, Avery Dennison stock traded below the $199.54 12-month high and above the $152.42 low reported by MarketBeat. For investors, the $201.22 consensus target and the 19.20 earnings multiple frame the next valuation debate more clearly than the short-term estimate cut.
