Sep 28 close

$264.96+1.87 (+0.7%)

Gekko Brief

AI summary

Plexus draws attention this week on the back of an analyst upgrade, with Keybanc raising the stock to Overweight and setting a $300 price target, citing growth prospects in the Aerospace/Defense and Industrial segments and expectations of over 20% growth in FY27. Separately, brokerages have given the company a consensus "Buy" rating with an average 12-month price target of $276.86, following its recent quarterly results, which showed EPS of $2.32 and revenue of $1.30 billion, up 28.2% year-over-year. A comparison piece also weighs Plexus against peer Vontier on profitability, valuation and analyst recommendations.

Plexus closed at $264.96, up 0.7%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $253.39 and its 200-day average of $229.64, with the shorter average also above the longer one. The GekkoIndex reads 50.5, placing the stock in the Neutral zone, down 6.6 over five days. Price stands 15.7% above Gekko Fair Value of $228.99.

The next earnings date falls on 28 October 2026, before the open, which lies outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior report on 29 July showed EPS of $1.58 against an estimate of $1.27, with a 3.2% reaction. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in their respective windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 2.9% return over 5 years, rising in 4 of them, a pattern worth noting alongside the current 15% consensus upside cited by covering analysts.
