Post Holdings stock faces a Zacks downgrade as revenue misses
Published on 10/04/2026 at 14:11 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Post Holdings stock (ISIN US7374461041) was last at USD 72.56 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 0.37 percent for the session. The latest catalyst is a Zacks Research downgrade from Hold to Strong Sell, as MarketBeat reports.
Revenue misses despite EPS beat
Post Holdings delivered adjusted EPS of USD 1.78 in fiscal Q3 2026, exceeding the USD 1.70 consensus estimate by USD 0.08, according to MarketBeat.
The revenue picture was weaker. Fiscal Q3 2026 revenue came in at USD 1.95 billion against USD 2.02 billion expected, a 1.8 percent year-over-year decline. That combination gives investors a clear split signal: earnings efficiency held up, but sales momentum did not.
Consensus target stays at USD 109
The broader analyst view remained Hold, with four Buy, two Hold and two Sell ratings among eight brokerages, MarketBeat reported. Its average 12-month target of USD 109.00 lies 50.2 percent above the October 2 reference price of USD 72.56.
The next company checkpoint is November 12, 2026. Investing.com lists that date for the next earnings report, keeping the revenue trend and forward outlook central to the stock story.
