200-day line meets raised outlook

MarketBeat put the 200-day moving average at USD 110.09 and the 50-day average at USD 122.58 on September 29, 2026. The same report listed a consensus target of USD 136.25 and a Moderate Buy rating, giving the analyst view a clear comparison with the USD 123.09 level reached during that session.

The latest operating figures came from fiscal 2027 first quarter results. Zacks reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.24, net sales of USD 2.22 billion and adjusted gross margin of 42.80 percent for the quarter. Net sales increased 5.00 percent year over year, while adjusted operating income rose 46.00 percent to USD 540.70 million.

Cash flow improves while sales contract

Yahoo Finance reported on September 24, 2026 that management lifted fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings guidance to USD 10.50-11.00 per share from USD 9.75-10.25. Free cash flow guidance rose to USD 1.10 billion from USD 1.00 billion, while the sales outlook improved to a decline of 1.00 percent-2.00 percent from a previous forecast of 3.00 percent-4.00 percent.

The first-quarter cash flow supports the improved outlook, but the mix remains important. Operating cash flow reached USD 425.70 million in fiscal 2027 first quarter, and Zacks reported free cash flow of USD 337.30 million. The company also reduced debt by USD 230.00 million and reached its leverage target of no more than 3.0 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA earlier than planned.

Next results date points to November

MarketBeat lists November 24, 2026 as the estimated next earnings date. That date gives the market a scheduled checkpoint for testing whether Uncrustables, Café Bustelo and coffee pricing can broaden the earnings momentum beyond the tariff-related benefit reported for fiscal 2027 first quarter.
