Avery Dennison Corp (AVY) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this moment. While the stock shows some positive momentum and hedge fund interest, the lack of significant short-term trading signals, mixed financial performance, and neutral options sentiment suggest it is better to hold off on buying for now.
The technical indicators show bullish momentum with MACD positively expanding and moving averages in a bullish alignment (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). RSI is at 75.176, which is neutral. The stock is trading near its resistance level (R1: 195.944), indicating limited immediate upside potential.
Hedge funds are significantly increasing their positions in the stock (17679.41% increase in buying over the last quarter). Analysts have raised price targets recently, with several maintaining Buy ratings. The company has shown a slight revenue increase in Q4 2025 (+3.91% YoY).
Net income and EPS have declined in the latest quarter (-4.37% and -0.92% YoY, respectively). The stock has a 60% chance to drop in the next day (-1.46%) and week (-2.02%). Options sentiment is neutral with a low put-call ratio, and no significant recent news or congress trading data is available.
In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 3.91% YoY to $2.27 billion, but net income dropped by 4.37% YoY to $166.4 million. EPS also declined slightly by 0.92% YoY to 2.15. Gross margin improved to 28.65%, up 2.80% YoY, indicating some operational efficiency gains.
Analysts are generally positive, with multiple firms raising price targets recently. BMO Capital raised its target to $224 and UBS to $226, both maintaining Buy ratings. However, Citi maintains a Neutral rating with a target of $201. The consensus reflects cautious optimism but not overwhelming bullishness.
