UBS stays Neutral into June 25 earnings
UBS reiterated its Neutral stance with a $51.00 price target, seeing McCormick as fairly valued as investors await second-quarter fiscal 2026 numbers on Thursday, 06/25/2026, before the US market opens. The bank's note cites muted near-term catalysts but a still-defensive earnings profile.
UBS forecasts Q2 earnings per share of $0.70, only a cent above the Visible Alpha consensus of $0.69, indicating limited expectations for a major surprise. The report highlights that the stock trades around $47.28, compared with a 52-week low of $44.82.
What the wider analyst consensus shows
Beyond UBS, MarketBeat data point to an average broker rating of "Hold" on McCormick, with a consensus target price around $61.90, leaving theoretical upside from current levels but no clear conviction buy signal. A MarketBeat summary notes several recent target cuts as growth slowed.
