Published on 08/20/2026 at 11:18 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Kerry Group plc (IE0004906560) is trading at EUR 81.52 as of August 18, 2026, with the shares up 5.06% for 2026 and a 52-week range of EUR 64.35 to EUR 89.28. That leaves the stock between its yearly low and high while the market still prices in a constructive setup.
Price and range
The latest quote snapshot also shows a daily move of -2.51% and a 5-day change of -0.85%, which keeps short-term momentum mixed even after the year-to-date gain. A current market cap of £130.74 million adds another dated reference point for the valuation.
Consensus and valuation
MarketBeat shows a consensus Buy rating and a GBX 99 price target, which it says implies 21.3% upside to the then-current GBX 81.60 quote. The same snapshot lists a dividend yield of 1.76% and a forward P/E of 15.31, giving investors a valuation frame rather than a pure momentum story.
Business mix
Kerry Group's portfolio spans more than 18,000 food products in 140 countries, and its profile says annual sales reached $6.63 billion while the group employed more than 21,000 people worldwide. Taste & Nutrition remains the core engine, so margins and demand across that segment matter more than broad market noise.
Closing level
Kerry stock last traded at EUR 81.52 on August 18, 2026, still below the 52-week high of EUR 89.28. For investors, the next question is whether the shares can retake that level or keep drifting inside the current range.
