AI Insight: AVY Financial Trends
Avery Dennison's Q1 2026 revenue hit a 2-year high at $2,298M, but total debt also reached a cycle peak of $3,790M while net income stagnated near $166–168M.
• Revenue recovered from a Q1 2025 trough of $2,148M to $2,298M in Q1 2026, the highest level across all eight quarters shown.
• Net income has been range-bound between $166M and $189M since Q2 2024, with Q1 2026 at $168M showing no meaningful earnings growth.
• Operating cash flow is seasonally strong in Q4 each year — $351M in Q4 2024 and $377M in Q4 2025 — but Q1 2026 slowed sharply to $136M.
• Total debt climbed from $3,159M in Q3 2024 to $3,790M in Q1 2026, a $631M increase, while equity remained essentially flat around $2,200–2,300M.
⚠ Total debt at $3,790M in Q1 2026 is the highest in the dataset; rising leverage without earnings growth pressures the balance sheet.
⚠ Q1 operating cash flow of $136M is well below the prior Q1 2025 reading of -$16M base effect; monitor whether FCF generation sustains through mid-2026.
⚠ Equity has been flat-to-declining since Q3 2024 ($2,394M) to Q1 2026 ($2,300M), limiting book-value cushion against rising debt.

• Q1 2026 shows partial recovery in OpMargin (10.5%) and ROIC (15.8%) off Q4 2025 lows, though still below Q2 2025 peak.
⚠ ROIC at 15.8% in Q1 2026 remains well below the 17.8% Q2 2025 peak — sustained recovery is unconfirmed.
⚠ D/E of 1.65 in Q1 2026 versus 1.32 in Q3 2024 — watch whether leverage stabilizes or continues drifting higher.
