VF Corporation stock (ISIN US9255241033) is trading in the mid-teens on the New York Stock Exchange as of early September 2026, reflecting a modest market valuation while investors focus on the company’s dividend and a cautious recovery path for earnings.
Analyst consensus and dividend set the tone
According to MarketBeat, VF Corporation currently carries a consensus Hold rating, with an average analyst price target of USD 18.21 as of September 7, 2026. With the stock quoted around USD 13.46 on the NYSE in recent trading, that target implies upside of roughly one third from the current level, underlining that analysts see room for improvement but no rapid re-rating.
The same overview notes that VF Corporation opened at USD 13.46 on the NYSE on a recent trading day, giving investors a concrete reference level for the shares in early September 2026. At this price point, the stock remains well below typical mid-cap apparel peers that often trade nearer their analyst targets, emphasizing the discount embedded in VF Corporation’s valuation.
Recent fundamentals and valuation context
While the latest full quarterly figures are not detailed in the recent analyst summary, the MarketBeat data set used by analysts is based on VF Corporation’s most recent reported fiscal results within the past year, including revenue trends and earnings per share that inform the consensus target of USD 18.21. The current Hold rating indicates that, on those numbers, analysts see a stabilizing but not yet strongly growing earnings profile.
For investors, the valuation gap between the NYSE price around USD 13.46 and the average target of USD 18.21 is a key quantified comparison, corresponding to potential upside of around 35 percent if earnings and margins recover toward analyst expectations. This spread signals that the market is still pricing in execution risk around cost control, brand momentum and inventory normalization in VF Corporation’s portfolio.
Dividend remains a central attraction
VF Corporation has also maintained a modest quarterly dividend that forms an important part of the investment case for income-oriented holders. According to the same MarketBeat overview dated September 7, 2026, the company recently declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.09 per share, scheduled to be paid on September 17 to shareholders of record on September 10.
At the current share price around USD 13.46, this USD 0.09 quarterly dividend translates into an annualized cash payout of USD 0.36 per share, corresponding to a dividend yield in the mid-single-digit percent range. That yield helps underpin the stock, but it also ties VF Corporation’s ability to keep paying to a continued recovery in operating cash flow.
Analyst risk factors and outlook
The Hold consensus highlighted by MarketBeat reflects both upside potential and clearly defined risks. On the upside, analysts point to brand positioning and the potential for margin improvement as VF Corporation optimizes its supply chain and product mix using data from its latest fiscal year.
On the risk side, the same coverage emphasizes that the apparel and footwear markets remain competitive and highly promotional, so VF Corporation’s revenue and earnings can be sensitive to consumer confidence and pricing pressure. In addition, maintaining the dividend at USD 0.09 per quarter requires disciplined capital allocation, particularly if macro conditions weaken or input costs rise.
The North Face as a representative product
One of VF Corporation’s best-known brands is The North Face, which targets outdoor apparel and equipment customers worldwide. The brand’s performance is closely watched by analysts because it contributes a significant share of VF Corporation’s overall revenue and provides a lens on consumer demand for technical outerwear and lifestyle products in the most recent fiscal periods.
Stock level and investor perspective
With VF Corporation stock trading around USD 13.46 on the NYSE as of early September 2026, the shares stand noticeably below the USD 18.21 average analyst target but underpinned by a quarterly dividend of USD 0.09 per share. For investors, the combination of discounted valuation, modest income and a Hold consensus makes future progress on earnings and cash generation the decisive factor.
