VF Corp. price target raised to $18 from $14 at Jefferies

Jefferies analyst Ashley Helgans raised the firm’s price target on VF Corp. (VFC) to $18 from $14 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm, which adjusted targets among its fashion brands coverage, would prioritize momentum-led upside to estimates versus turnarounds at this point. The firm, which believes across the fashion space that the market is expecting a more resilient consumer and constructive tariff backdrop at least for the near-term, has a 2026 base case that assumes stable consumer spend, although still pressured at the low-end, the analyst tells investors.
