Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Avery Dennison Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "For 2017, Avery Dennison expects earnings per share to lie in the range of $4.75–$4.90. The midpoint of the guidance range reflects a year-over-year growth of 20%. The company anticipates reported sales growth in the range of 7–8% for the full year, reflecting the impact of the Yongle and Finesse acquisitions and a smaller currency headwind. Its shares have underperformed the industry year to date. Its estimates have gone down lately. Transition costs related to acquisitions and raw material inflation remain headwinds for Avery Dennison's results in the near term. Following the Yongle and Finesse acquisitions, Avery Dennison’s net debt-to-EBITDA ratio has gone up closer to the high end of its target range." (10/17/2017)
• 2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We commend the Company on its continued robust organic growth (4% in 1Q17), but we continue to think the Company is at or near peak margins and the stock is trading well above its historical averages (AVY repurchased very little stock in the quarter, and we do not think that is a coincidence). We reiterate our Sector Weight rating on valuation." (4/26/2017)
