Carters (CRI) Stock Gains on UBS Analyst Note and 2026 EPS Forecast - News and Statistics

Apr 17, 2026

Shares of children’s apparel manufacturer Carters (CRI) advanced following an analyst note from UBS, according to a report from Yahoo Finance. The firm’s analysis suggested the company experienced a solid first quarter and would likely exceed profit expectations for that period. UBS further indicated that improved gross margin prospects, linked to more favorable tariff conditions, would probably lead Carters to raise its earnings per share forecast for the full 2026 fiscal year.

The investment firm projected the company’s updated guidance would be between $3.20 and $3.40 per share, a rise from its earlier forecast. This potential revision was seen as likely to influence broader market estimates for the company’s performance. After an initial increase, the stock price settled at $36.20, representing a gain for the session.

Market Context and Recent Performance

Carters shares have shown significant volatility over the past year. The most substantial move during that period occurred approximately nine months prior, when the stock declined sharply after the company reported quarterly earnings that fell short of analyst projections. On that occasion, the company also suspended its annual financial guidance and reduced its dividend payment.

Despite a gain since the start of the current calendar year, the stock’s recent price remains below its peak from earlier in 2026. Historical performance data indicates that an investment made five years ago would have decreased in value.
