Avery Dennison's Growth to Accelerate on Walmart RFID Rollout, UBS Says

Oct 23

Avery Dennison's (AVY) Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, tags business and adjusted earnings growth are expected to inflect higher in fiscal 2026, supported by a new Walmart (WMT) rollout, UBS Securities said in a Thursday note.

Assuming reasonable base growth, the company could achieve about 10% adjusted EPS growth in 2026 and around 12% longer term, the brokerage said.

UBS said the broader Walmart RFID rollout into bakery, meat, and deli sections could add more than 10% growth to Avery Dennison's RFID sales over the next two years.

The new initiative follows the companies' recent announcement that Walmart will use Avery Dennison's RFID-enabled labels in fresh food categories, including meat, bakery, and deli.

As retailers move past tariff-related disruptions, the firm expects focus to return to efficiency and cost improvements, expanding the company's backlog of new RFID deployments and supporting longer-term growth.

UBS upgraded the stock to buy from neutral and raised its price target to $218 from $181.

Shares of Avery Dennison were up 3.5% in recent trading.
