What are Wall Street analysts saying about Greif stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Greif stock:
  • 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Greif’s earnings estimates for the first quarter fiscal 2020 have undergone downward revisions lately. Greif’s EPS guidance for fiscal 2020 lies within $3.63-$4.13. The mid-point of the range depicts a decline of 2%. Lower demand in Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services thanks to trade uncertainty and weakness in Western Europe in the Flexible Products & Services segment will affect volumes. Unfavorable foreign currency impact and high debt also remain headwinds. Nevertheless, in fiscal 2020, the Paper Packaging segment is well poised on Caraustar acquisition and on various new growth projects coming online. Greif is poised to gain from focus on operational execution, capital discipline, and a strong and diverse product portfolio. It continues to execute cost-reduction activities across portfolio to counter softer market demand." (1/17/2020)
  • 2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We think risks are high. We are increasing our FY19 adj. EPS estimate from $3.60 to $3.65 (guidance is now $3.60-$4.00) to reflect GEF’s guidance change on account of Caraustar, and increasing our FY20 estimate from $3.40 to $3.75 to reflect the Caraustar accretion. Our estimates for GEF’s legacy business are going down in both to reflect the Rigid business’s continued struggles. All else equal, we’d assume ~$62 million of adj. EBITDA growth in FY20 from 3.5 more months of Caraustar, but we’re instead assuming $25 million of adj. EBITDA growth given our expectation that the legacy Rigid and containerboard businesses will get worse. On our FY20 adj. EBITDA estimate (which includes a full year of Caraustar), GEF is trading at ~7.2x, roughly in line with the 5-year average of 7.1x." (2/28/2019)
