AVI Limited (ZAE000049433) has an average 12-month analyst target of ZAc 10,825.00, with four analysts included in the consensus listed by Investing.com on October 15, 2026. AVI was trading at EUR 4.46 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 8:42 p.m. CEST; the JSE share price was up 1.56 percent on the day.

Target leaves room above JSE price

The ZAc 10,825.00 consensus target stands 31.72 percent above AVI's JSE price of ZAc 8,218.00 on October 20, 2026, calculated in the home-market quotation. The same Investing.com page lists a range of ZAc 9,600.00 to ZAc 11,700.00 and records three Buy ratings and one Hold rating.

The target is the clearest valuation reference for the stock today, but it is not a company forecast. It reflects a poll covering the past three months, while the latest disclosed full-year results cover the year ended June 30, 2026.

Margins improved as revenue grew

AVI reported revenue of ZAR 16.2 billion for fiscal year 2026, up 1.40 percent from the prior year, while operating profit rose 4.40 percent to ZAR 3.7 billion. Operating margin improved to 22.90 percent from 22.20 percent, according to News24 on October 9, 2026.

Headline earnings per share increased 5.30 percent to 767.90 cents in fiscal year 2026, while the company declared a final dividend of 418.00 cents per share and a special dividend of 300.00 cents per share. Those figures put capital returns alongside the margin improvement as the main company-specific counterweight to the modest revenue increase.

Price position and peer comparison

AVI's JSE quotation stood at ZAc 8,218.00 on October 20, 2026, within its 52-week range of ZAc 7,831.00 to ZAc 11,628.00. The price was 4.94 percent above the low and 29.33 percent below the high. Market capitalization was ZAR 27.6 billion, and trading volume was 627,056 shares.

Valuation and November meeting

AVI traded at a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.74 on October 20, 2026, compared with 12.09 for Tiger Brands and 8.41 for RCL Foods. The company's annual general meeting is scheduled for November 10, 2026, after AVI distributed its annual report and meeting notice on October 9, 2026, in a release carried by Sharenet.

Comparison with peers

AVI: up 1.56 percent on JSE, P/E 10.74, market capitalization ZAR 27.6 billion.

Tiger Brands (JSE, ZAR): up 1.26 percent, P/E 12.09, market capitalization ZAR 38.6 billion.

RCL Foods (JSE, ZAR): down 0.57 percent, P/E 8.41, market capitalization ZAR 6.3 billion.

What matters for the stock

The combination of a 31.72 percent target distance and a 22.90 percent operating margin gives investors two different measures of AVI's position. Revenue growth was limited to 1.40 percent in fiscal year 2026, so the margin and earnings figures carry more weight than sales growth alone.

The annual meeting on November 10, 2026 is the next dated corporate event. The latest available euro quotation stood at EUR 4.46 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 8:42 p.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of AVI stock.
