Stifel analyst Peter McGoldrick raised the firm’s price target on VF Corp. (VFC) to $18 from $16 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. Lifestyle brands enter 2026 trading at “a historic valuation discount relative to the S&P 500,” says the analyst, who favors structurally improving businesses with tangible drivers, underappreciated growth models, and “battered businesses with capacity for sentiment re-rating.”
