Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Neutral rating and $85.00 price target on Graco Inc . (NYSE:GGG), citing mixed end market conditions across the company’s three reportable segments. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $79 to $100, with the stock currently trading near Fair Value levels.
The research firm noted that despite "notable weakness" in Graco’s North American construction-facing businesses, overall incoming order rates appear supportive of low-single-digit organic growth for the company in 2025.
Forthcoming tariff-related pricing actions are also expected to contribute to Graco’s growth prospects in the coming year, according to DA Davidson’s analysis.
The firm highlighted Graco’s "exceptionally strong" balance sheet, which includes more than $0.5 billion in net cash, providing financial flexibility for share repurchases, internal investments, and mergers and acquisitions.
DA Davidson specifically mentioned Graco’s recently announced acquisition of Color Service as part of the company’s M&A activity supported by its strong financial position.
