Goldman Sachs has lowered the target price of Carter’s ( CRI ) from $40 to $38, while maintaining a neutral rating on the stock.
In a research report to investors, the analyst stated that the company's third-quarter performance indicated an improvement in cost control, but the revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2026 is also weak, sending mixed signals regarding expectations for the fiscal year 2027.
Analysts added that short-term concerns are warranted, as the turning point of retail sales decline in October put the quarter off to a poor start, especially considering the impact of fluctuations in delivery times on the behavior of real consumers, which creates uncertainty.
