Valvoline price target lowered to $44 from $48 at RBC Capital

RBC Capital lowered the firm’s price target on Valvoline (VVV) to $44 from $48 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company over-delivered on SSS and guided FY26 up 4%-6%, easing concerns of a continued deceleration, though the management’s FY26 EPS guidance was lighter than anticipated, leaving investors questioning whether core profitability has changed or whether the Breeze Autocare acquisition will be more of a drag than initially anticipated, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
