MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

  • The company recently reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended August 5, 2026, with revenue of $2.03 billion, which exceeded analyst expectations of $1.97 billion and represented an 18.5% year-over-year increase, demonstrating robust demand for its services.
  • Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook on the stock, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of $137.67 as of September 5, 2026, which suggests significant upside potential from the current stock price of $114.30.
  • Iron Mountain Incorporated offers a dividend yield of 3.02%, providing income to investors, with a recent quarterly dividend of $0.864 per share scheduled to be paid on October 2, 2026, to stockholders of record on September 15, 2026.

Iron Mountain
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Iron Mountain Incorporated for these reasons:

  • The company has a high payout ratio of 246.43%, meaning it is paying out more in dividends than it is earning in net income, which could raise concerns about the sustainability of the dividend if earnings do not improve significantly.
  • Iron Mountain Incorporated has a negative return on equity of 85.44% for the most recent quarter, indicating that the company is not generating a positive return on the equity invested by shareholders, which is a negative indicator of financial efficiency.
  • Insider selling has been significant, with insiders selling a total of 132,422 shares worth $15,803,807 in the last three months, including CEO William L. Meaney selling 38,474 shares on September 1, 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence from company leadership.
  • The stock has a high P/E ratio of 81.64, which is significantly above the market average, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued relative to its current earnings, and investors are paying a premium for future growth that may not materialize.
  • Short interest has been relatively high, with 6,463,287 shares shorted as of August 31, 2026, representing 2.21% of the float, and a days-to-cover ratio of 4.75, indicating that a significant number of investors are betting against the stock's price appreciation.
