Avon Protection: Strong Performance and Promising Outlook Reinforce Buy Rating

Avon Protection (AVON – Research Report), the Industrials sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Andrew Douglas from Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a p1,745.00 price target.

Andrew Douglas has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Avon Protection’s strong performance and promising future outlook. The company’s recent results have surpassed expectations, showing significant progress in the first half of 2025. Management is optimistic about achieving double-digit growth and improving EBITA in the latter half of the year, which indicates a positive trajectory.
Furthermore, Avon Protection has set a solid EBITA margin target of 14% to 16% for fiscal year 2026, reflecting ongoing operational improvements. Although net debt remained stable year-over-year, the reduction in leverage to 0.7 times from 1.7 times demonstrates financial strength. The balance sheet’s potential use is seen as an advantage in the coming years. Overall, the positive momentum is expected to continue, reinforcing the Buy recommendation.
