In other recent news, Avery Dennison reported its second-quarter earnings for 2025, with an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.42, exceeding the forecast of $2.39. However, the company reported revenue of $2.22 billion, slightly below the expected $2.24 billion. Despite these mixed results, BMO Capital maintained an Outperform rating on Avery Dennison but lowered its price target from $216 to $207. The firm highlighted the company’s strong performance in higher-margin businesses, such as Vestcom and Graphics/Reflectives, which helped counterbalance weaker demand in the apparel sector.

This decision followed the company’s solid second-quarter results and a third-quarter outlook that was slightly better than anticipated.
