Analyses of Avery Dennison stock (AVY) present mixed signals, with weak technicals accompanied by strong fund flow. AVY's recent software licensing move has sparked discussion on a shift in their
innovation strategy. Despite stagnating quarterly revenue and underperformance in the consumer cyclical sector, AVY has remained an option among blue-chip stock investments at 52-week lows. Avery Dennison has beat Q2 earnings estimates, with speculation on the impact of intelligent labels and a higher dividend on their
long-term growth story. Additionally, AVY's Q1 earnings exceeded expectations, with an EPS rise of 4%. Despite a decrease in quarterly dividends, AVY announced a $750M stock buyback, demonstrating commitment to shareholders. However, insiders selling US$7.5m worth of stock has seeded caution. In the interim, CFO Gregory S. Lovins is set to resume his role after medical leave. Despite JPMorgan cutting AVY's stock rating and lowering the price target, investor optimism is prevalent given the strong bottom line. However, growth is considered lacking, leading to a BMO Capital downgrade to outperform. Comparatively, the industrial products sector is said to be lagging behind AVY.
