Ceridian stock remains under pressure, and the latest data point in this call shows the shares at USD 2.65 with a market capitalization of USD 534.03 million on September 19, 2026. MarketBeat's latest coverage on September 19, 2026 also puts the stock's analyst backdrop at an average Hold rating, with a 12-month price objective of USD 5.25.

Analysts keep a lid on the move

According to MarketBeat on September 19, 2026, the company has an average Hold rating from five brokerages, with one Sell, one Hold and three Buy calls. The same report says the average 12-month price objective is USD 5.25, while Freedom Broker started coverage with a Buy rating and a USD 6.50 target.

The latest financial snapshot in that report gives investors a second anchor: Cerus posted USD 63.30 million in quarterly revenue and EPS of minus USD 0.01 on July 30, 2026, compared with consensus of USD 62.90 million and EPS in line with estimates. Revenue was higher by USD 0.40 million, or about 0.6 percent.

Price and balance sheet mix

The stock opened at USD 2.65 on Friday, within a 52-week range of USD 1.30 to USD 3.47, and the same MarketBeat page listed a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.49 and a current ratio of 1.83. That combination leaves the shares trading at less than half of the consensus price objective, even after the 52-week high was already printed earlier in the year.

What matters next

For investors, the key test is whether the next report can turn the current revenue base of USD 63.30 million into better earnings leverage than the minus USD 0.01 EPS seen for the quarter ended July 30, 2026. Until then, the stock's gap to the USD 5.25 average target stays large enough to keep every new rating in focus.
