Avery Dennison Corporation stock (US0536111091) closed at $177.71 on August 28, 2026, with a market cap of $13.86 billion and an intraday volume of 1.49 million shares. The latest available earnings snapshot showed second-quarter 2026 revenue of $2.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.42, while management kept full-year 2026 guidance in view for investors tracking margin discipline.
Latest quarter backdrop
The second-quarter 2026 revenue figure of $2.2 billion gives the shares a current operating anchor, and the $2.42 adjusted EPS shows the business is still converting sales into profit at a solid rate. That comparison matters because the reported quarter is the most recent period visible in the search set and it sits inside the freshness window for current fundamentals.
MarketBeat's August 30, 2026 update put the stock at $177.71 and also showed the name trading just below the $177.70 extended-trading level, which keeps attention on whether the shares can hold that band into the next session. The same update cited a consensus rating of Moderate Buy, giving the name a constructive but not euphoric analyst tone.
What investors are watching
For investors, the main question is whether Avery Dennison can extend the margin profile implied by $2.42 in adjusted EPS against $2.2 billion in quarterly sales. A narrower point also stands out: the stock is far above the $81.54 level seen in late August 2026 for a different industrial name in the same market data set, which underscores how strongly market leadership can vary by sector and catalyst.
The current setup is more about execution than drama. Revenue, earnings and the share price are all visible in the latest market snapshot, and that trio gives the stock a clear reference point before the next company update.
Product angle
Avery Dennison's label materials and adhesive products remain the company's core commercial bridge to packaging, retail and industrial customers. That mix matters because volume trends in labels and packaging often feed straight into margin stability and cash generation.
Shares and valuation
Avery Dennison stock traded at $177.71 on August 28, 2026, with a market cap of $13.86 billion. The shares were flat to slightly lower in the latest snapshot, leaving valuation to lean more on earnings delivery than on a fresh rerating.
