Published on 10/08/2026 at 05:40 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
IDT Corporation (ISIN US4489475073) closed at USD 80.10 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, down 0.26 percent from the prior close. The immediate catalyst is an analyst shift, with MarketBeat reporting that Zacks Research upgraded IDT to Hold.
Zacks joins a cautious consensus
The rating change leaves the published analyst mix at one Buy and two Hold ratings, according to MarketBeat. Its consensus target of USD 85.00 lies 6.12 percent above the October 7 close, while the listed 52-week range runs from USD 45.72 to USD 82.31.
Freedom Broker had raised its target from USD 75.00 to USD 85.00 and assigned a Buy rating on September 30, 2026, the same MarketBeat report states. That split gives the stock a clear tension point: operational growth is strong, but the consensus still stops at Hold.
Fiscal 2026 delivered higher margins
In its fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, IDT generated revenue of USD 1.298 billion, up 5 percent from USD 1.231 billion in fiscal 2025, according to GlobeNewswire. Income from operations rose 21 percent to USD 121.2 million, while GAAP diluted EPS increased to USD 3.46 from USD 3.01.

Dividend date sets the next checkpoint
GlobeNewswire reported that IDT declared a USD 0.07 quarterly dividend payable on October 14, 2026, to holders of record on October 5, 2026. The company also guided fiscal 2027 gross profit to USD 545 million to USD 555 million and adjusted EBITDA to USD 176 million to USD 180 million.
