Dillard's (ISIN US2540671011) was last at USD 695.35 on the Texas Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, up 6.30 percent from the prior close of USD 654.11. The move came as the retailer began trading on TXSE after shifting its primary listing from the New York Stock Exchange, a change announced by Dillard's on September 18, 2026.

Analysts set a lower bar

The price move contrasts with a cautious analyst view. MarketScreener lists an Underperform consensus from three analysts, with an average target of USD 545.67, a high target of USD 650.00 and a low target of USD 468.00. The average target sits below the October 5 price, leaving the operating results to carry the main argument for the shares.

MarketBeat also reports that JPMorgan raised its target from USD 496.00 to USD 519.00 while keeping an Underweight rating on August 17, 2026. UBS lifted its target from USD 465.00 to USD 468.00 and retained a Sell rating on the same date, according to MarketBeat.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

Dillard's latest reported quarter ended August 1, 2026. According to MarketBeat, quarterly EPS reached USD 6.25, beating the USD 4.29 consensus by USD 1.96. Revenue came to USD 1.53 billion versus USD 1.52 billion expected, while net margin was 10.48 percent.

The earnings comparison matters because the latest price stands well above the analyst average even after the quarterly beat. MarketBeat lists full-year consensus EPS of USD 35.50, a figure that gives investors a separate benchmark for the retailer's profit trajectory.

TXSE keeps the DDS ticker

The listing transfer changes the primary venue but not the symbol. The company said DDS would stop trading as a primary NYSE listing after October 2, 2026, and begin primary trading on TXSE on October 5, 2026, while shareholders needed to take no action, according to Dillard's. The retailer operates 272 stores across 30 states and an online store, according to the company release carried by MarketScreener.
