Henry Schein, Inc. (US42548G1040) stock opened at $89.77 and traded near its 52-week high of $92.18 on August 17, 2026, after Wall Street Zen lifted the shares to Buy from Hold. The move comes with a broader analyst view that still sits at Hold and an average price target of $92.27.
Upgrade meets steady numbers
MarketBeat said Henry Schein reported $1.27 in quarterly EPS on August 4, 2026, beating the $1.24 estimate by $0.03. Revenue reached $3.46 billion, rising 6.7% year over year from $1.10 in EPS in the same quarter of the prior year.
The current fiscal 2026 guidance calls for EPS of $5.29 to $5.39, while analysts on average are looking for $5.35 for the full year. That leaves the latest company outlook only a few cents away from the Street view.
Analysts stay split
The latest consensus data show eight Buy ratings, six Hold ratings, and one Sell rating. The spread matters because the average target of $92.27 leaves only 2.78% upside from the $89.77 opening level cited on August 17, 2026.
That setup puts the stock in a narrow band between a recent earnings beat and a valuation that already reflects much of the good news. The 200-day moving average at $79.07 and the 50-day average at $84.81 also show how far the shares have already run from earlier levels.
