In the most recent quarters, Q2 2026 saw a notable EPS surge to $2.89 from an estimate of $2.49, while revenue climbed to $2.4629 billion against an estimate of $2.3191 billion, marking the strongest quarterly performance in the series; Q1 2026 EPS of $2.47 fell short of the $2.5197 estimate, and revenue of $2.2985 billion trailed the $2.3264 billion forecast, indicating a slight deceleration from the prior quarter. Across the last four quarters, the company has consistently met or exceeded earnings estimates in three of four periods, with revenue growth remaining positive but fluctuating between 1.5% and 4.5% YoY.

Recent news highlights a $1.00 per share dividend paid on October 5, 2026, underscoring the company’s robust dividend growth policy at 8.1% annually, which outpaces industry averages and appeals to income investors; the dividend announcement coincided with a 6.6% year‑to‑date decline in the stock, suggesting market sensitivity to broader economic factors.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into AVY?

FAIR

At today's price, Avery Dennison Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 4.3% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.25% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 5.6% a year, so the market is asking for 1.3 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis AVY looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

Up days (1y)
48%

Avery Dennison Corporation is currently running 16.7% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against AVY's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 30th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 20.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

AVY is trading -25.9% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -18.7%, and the deepest was -42.9% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -1.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 32nd percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year AVY closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, AVY finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +6.6% and an average of +2.8%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +3.8% on average, its weakest March at -1.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: AVY has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 95 of 3,267 sessions (2.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.5% and -11.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, AVY moved an average of 1.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -2.1% and a largest of -2.8%.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against AVY's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
