Reason
Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Herbalife to $13 from $11 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the food producers space as part of its 2026 outlook. Healthy living growth should outperform in 2026, but concerns for competition have compressed valuations, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho believes weak fundamentals and elevated macro uncertainty "suggest limited prospects for a broad valuation recovery."

Reason
BofA raised the firm's price target on Herbalife to $8 from $7 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares. Entering 2026, the largest unresolved question for staples remains consumption growth and valuations remain dispersed across the group, but "there feels little to get them off the sidelines in '26 until fundamentals signal a greater turning of the tide," the analyst tells investors in a year-ahead note for the consumer staples group.
