CooperCompanies stock (US2166481027) opened at $70.09 on September 1, 2026, with a market capitalization of $13.67 billion and a 12-month range of $58.89 to $89.83. The latest analyst digest kept the name at an average Hold rating, according to MarketBeat.
June quarter still sets the tone
The Cooper Companies reported $1.21 in earnings per share for the quarter on June 4, 2026, beating the $1.10 consensus by $0.11. Revenue reached $1.08 billion, up 7.9 percent from a year earlier, while net margin was 5.57 percent and return on equity was 10.88 percent.
That mix matters because the stock is trading above the 200-day moving average of $70.73 and just below the 50-day moving average of $72.66, so the market is weighing steady profits against a valuation that still reflects growth expectations.
Guidance and Street view
Management set FY 2026 EPS guidance at 4.580 to 4.660, and analysts now expect 4.63 per share for the current year. The gap between the company range and the Street view is narrow, which leaves less room for a large surprise in the next update.
MarketBeat also reported a consensus target price of $81.6429, with seventeen brokerages covering the stock. The split is balanced: three sell ratings, six hold ratings, seven buy ratings and one strong buy rating.
CooperVision and CooperSurgical drive the group
The company builds around vision care and women's health, with CooperVision as the core contact lens business and CooperSurgical as the second pillar.
Stock around the pivot
FXEmpire showed a close of $70.09 on August 31, 2026, with a pivot level at $70.1608, resistance at $70.6842 and support at $69.5666. That leaves the shares pinned close to a technical decision zone rather than far from it.
