The Week

All five analysts covering the stock rate it hold, with no buy, overweight, underweight or sell ratings. The consensus rating is hold, and the consensus target price of $160.25 sits about 3.37% above the latest close. Individual targets range from $151 to $170, showing limited dispersion, though the stock is trading near the lower end of that band.

The Week Ahead

The macro calendar is busy next week: the Dallas Fed manufacturing business activity index lands on Monday, followed on Tuesday by durable goods orders, FHFA house prices, Case Shiller home price indexes, new home sales, the Richmond Fed composite index and consumer confidence. These releases could shift how the market prices interest rates and property-related names. Lamar Advertising’s fiscal Q3 2026 earnings are scheduled for 5 November before the open, which falls outside this window but remains the key corporate event to watch.
