Avery Dennison Stock Soars 9.48%, Hits Intraday High of $180.62

Avery Dennison Corp., a small-cap player in the packaging industry, has seen a significant uptick in its stock performance today, gaining 9.48% and reaching an intraday high of USD 180.62. This surge stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500, which remained unchanged at 0.0% for the day.
Over the past week, Avery Dennison has outperformed the broader market with a 12.19% increase, while its one-month performance also reflects a solid gain of 9.71%. However, the company has faced challenges over the longer term, with a one-year performance decline of 15.7% compared to the S&P 500's 15.06% gain.

Key financial metrics indicate a high management efficiency, evidenced by a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 21.65%. The company's ability to manage debt is robust, with an EBIT to interest ratio averaging 11.41. Despite these strengths, Avery Dennison has shown flat operating profit growth over the past five years, with an annual growth rate of just 6.12%.

With a market capitalization of USD 20,083 million and a price-to-earnings ratio of 30.00, Avery Dennison continues to navigate a competitive landscape while maintaining high institutional ownership at 99.28%.
