Aramark stock price target maintained at $49 by Stifel on solid growth outlook

Investing.com - Stifel has reiterated its Buy rating on ARAMARK Holdings (NYSE:ARMK) with a price target of $49.00, citing strong future growth potential despite somewhat softer current quarter results. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has taken a significant hit, dropping 8.43% over the past week to $40.1, suggesting potential upside to Stifel’s target.

The research firm acknowledged that ARAMARK’s fiscal third-quarter 2025 revenue and margin results were not as robust as preferred, but noted they remained within acceptable parameters for a single quarter’s performance. The company maintains a GOOD overall financial health score according to InvestingPro analysis, with revenue growing at 4.53% over the last twelve months.

Stifel highlighted ARAMARK’s strong new business wins and high customer retention rates as key factors supporting its positive outlook on the food service and facilities management company.

The firm pointed to ARAMARK’s broad-based solid pipeline as positioning the company for solid growth in fiscal year 2026, according to its analysis of current business trends.

Stifel also noted that ARAMARK’s implied revenue guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025 suggests a particularly strong organic growth rate, adding that management expressed confidence about achieving this growth target.
