BNP Paribas cut its Flowers Foods price target from USD 6.50 to USD 5.00 on October 7, 2026, while maintaining an Underperform rating, according to Markets Insider. The move puts the analyst target below the EUR 5.28 Lang & Schwarz price, although the two figures use different currencies and are not directly comparable.

Target cut meets weak quarter

Flowers Foods reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 1.19 billion and diluted earnings per share of USD 0.19 for the quarter ended July 18, 2026. The finance figures show net income of USD 40.66 million and operating profit of USD 68.13 million for the same period.

MarketBeat reported that Q2 earnings per share missed consensus by USD 0.01, with revenue below the USD 1.23 billion estimate. Revenue fell 4.00 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while the prior-year earnings-per-share figure was USD 0.28.

Three dated developments

On August 20, 2026, Flowers Foods reported Q2 revenue of USD 1.19 billion, according to MarketBeat. On October 2, 2026, the company recalled 20-ounce and 40-ounce Nature's Own Hawaiian Bread products because milk was not declared on the packaging, as Fidelity reported from a PR Newswire release. On October 7, 2026, BNP Paribas lowered its target from USD 6.50 to USD 5.00, according to Markets Insider.

What does the target cut imply?

The revised USD 5.00 target is USD 1.50 below the former USD 6.50 target, a 23.08 percent reduction. Flowers Foods stock therefore faces a more cautious analyst view at the same time that the latest quarter showed USD 40.66 million of net income and a 6.00 percent operating margin.

Next reporting date

A projected next release date of November 12, 2026, appears in the Flowers Foods calendar on Thaler. The date is presented as projected rather than as a company-confirmed filing date.
