Rollins, Inc. stock is confronting a sharp reset in analyst expectations after Morgan Stanley cut its price target from USD 60.00 to USD 45.00 on September 29, 2026, while keeping an Overweight rating. The pest-control provider's Q2 results also showed revenue growth alongside an earnings miss.

Morgan Stanley lowers its target

According to MarketBeat on September 29, 2026, Morgan Stanley reduced the target to USD 45.00 from USD 60.00 and retained its Overweight rating. The same report placed the analyst consensus at Hold with an average target of USD 45.94, based on 11 holds, three sells, four buys and one strong buy.

The target cut matters because it came after a quarter in which Rollins expanded sales but missed the earnings benchmark. The market is therefore weighing growth against the company's ability to convert that growth into profit.

Q2 revenue grows 7.90 percent

Rollins reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 1.08 billion, up 7.90 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while earnings per share reached USD 0.32 versus USD 0.34 expected, according to MarketBeat. The figures refer to the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with the results released on July 22, 2026.

That comparison captures the central tension in the stock. Revenue increased 7.90 percent year over year, but EPS of USD 0.32 was USD 0.02 below consensus and remained only USD 0.02 above the USD 0.30 reported for the year-earlier quarter, according to Yahoo Finance.

Market value and next report

Rollins had a market capitalization of USD 14.7 billion and a 52-week range of USD 29.74 to USD 66.14 as of September 29, 2026. The stock's market context is demanding: the current low sits only USD 0.26 below the reported 52-week floor, while the high is USD 36.40 above it.

CNN lists October 28, 2026 as the next earnings date for Rollins. That report will give investors the next measurable test of whether the 7.90 percent revenue growth seen in Q2 can coexist with better earnings delivery.
