Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Aptargroup, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target at $149, 26.8x our 2026 EPS estimate, a premium to its three-year average forward P/E of 26.5x. We trim our 2026 EPS view by $0.12 to $5.56 and decrease our 2027 EPS by $0.15 to $6.40. The injectables division continues to validate our thesis, with 20% Y/Y growth in Q1 as management actively works to increase capacity so the division can expand further. We note that emergency medicine faces a $65M headwind in 1H 2026 as it destocks from prior inventory, which led to flat Q1 core sales and weaker gross margins. Management is confident its pharma growth will expand beyond GLP-1 to both systemic nasal drug delivery and pulmonary biologics. Margin weakness and an unfavorable mix in the Beauty segment are temporary, with normal margins returning in 2H 2026 in our view. We continue to believe ATR is poised to capture significant growth in the biologics markets. ATR could face higher raw material costs as supply chains become stretched due to uncertainty in the Middle East.
