What Is the Latest Analyst Price Target?

Market data shows an average analyst price target of $199.20 from 10 analysts with ratings in the past 12 months. Against the $167.77 close, the consensus target suggests implied upside of about 18.7 per cent. The range runs from $175 to $225.

The second data set, using third-party data, shows a mean of $201.80 and a median of $204.50, with a high of $225 and a low of $181 across 11 analysts. Its page was dated 2 October 2026 and quoted a price of $169.87 from that day, so its upside percentage is not directly comparable with the figure above. The two averages are within about $3 of each other and both sit within the range of recent named broker targets.

What Are Wall Street Analysts Saying?

Market data reports 7 Buy, 3 Hold and no Sell ratings, a consensus of Moderate Buy. The second data set lists 7 Strong Buy, 2 Buy and 2 Hold for September 2026, and rates the consensus Buy.

Named broker actions on market data over roughly the past three months are few. Jefferies reiterated a Hold rating with a $181 target on 28 September 2026. Bank of America reiterated Buy on 14 August, with no target listed. On 31 July, UBS raised its target from $218 to $225 with a Buy rating, JPMorgan raised from $185 to $190 with Overweight, and Citigroup raised from $184 to $186 with a Neutral rating. Truist lowered its target from $221 to $209 on 15 July, keeping a Buy rating.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

The three increases in late July suggest some analysts became a little more positive after the last reporting period. The gap between the share price and the consensus target is wide at nearly 19 per cent, so the shares would need a significant improvement in sentiment for the two to converge.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The shares trade well below even the lowest target on market data, which may indicate that the market is less optimistic than the analysts. Truist's July reduction shows targets can fall as well as rise. With only around ten analysts covering the stock, a single change can move the average noticeably. General market volatility, changes in valuations and results that fall short of expectations are all risks.

Avery Dennison's Thin Coverage Leaves a Wide Gap to Target

Avery Dennison closed at $167.77 on 9 October 2026, trading well below even the lowest $175 target in market data, with the $199.20 consensus target about 18.7 per cent higher and the second data set's $201.80 mean slightly above. Only around ten analysts cover the stock and few named actions are recent: three increases in late July from UBS, JPMorgan and Citigroup, Truist's cut to $209 earlier in July and Jefferies' Hold at $181 on 28 September. With so little coverage, a single change can move the average noticeably.
