vf corp stock price forecast jpmorgan view

VF Corp (NYSE: VFC) has been a big disappointment for its shareholders this year but a JPMorgan analyst is convinced that the worst is now in the rearview mirror.

VF Corp stock could climb over 20%

On Wednesday, Matthew Boss upgraded the apparel company to “neutral” and raised his price target to $19 which represents a 23% upside on its previous close.

The New York-listed firm recently came in shy of expectations for earnings in its second financial quarter and removed guidance for its fiscal 2024.

Still, the JPM analyst turned constructive on the VF Corp stock today because its new Chief Executive – Bracken Darrell is committed to deleveraging the balance sheet to drive better margins.

All in all, the JPMorgan analyst changed stance on the VF Corp stock that currently pays a dividend yield of over 2.0% because he’s convinced that it’s risk-reward profile has improved. Activist investor Engaged Capital also announced a stake in VFC in October.
