Analyst targets stay above price

According to ScanX, JPMorgan kept a Neutral rating while cutting its price target from USD 52 to USD 46. The change leaves the upcoming report to prove whether cost controls can offset pressure on international operations.

MarketBeat reports a Hold consensus based on three Buy ratings and eleven Hold ratings, with an average price target of USD 52.91. That target lies 21.4 percent above the USD 43.60 reference price, while the consensus range leaves investors focused on execution rather than a broad earnings re-rating.

The USD 43.60 price stood between the October 2 session low of USD 40.85 and high of USD 44.00. Lamb Weston market capitalization was USD 6.0 billion, and volume reached 4,090,873 shares, while the 52-week range ran from USD 37.62 to USD 67.07.
