UBS says “buy the dip” — again
UBS didn’t blink on Gildan Activewear. The bank reiterated its Buy rating and left the price target parked at $110, which is a pretty spicy call when the stock was trading around $59.55 in the piece. That’s a lofty gap, and it tells you UBS still thinks the market is underappreciating the company’s setup.
Why investors should care
This isn’t a fresh business update so much as a vote of confidence from the analyst crowd. Gildan just posted a solid fourth quarter of 2025, with earnings per share of $0.96 versus expectations of $0.9339 and revenue of $1.08 billion versus the $884.62 million analysts had penciled in. So the company’s already been showing it can execute; UBS is basically saying the story isn’t fully priced in yet.
The fine print, because markets love a plot twist
The stock still slipped in premarket trading even after the earnings beat, which is a reminder that good numbers don’t always trigger a parade. Sometimes the market hears “solid quarter” and responds with “cool, now prove it again.”
Big picture: UBS is still in the Gildan bull camp, but the real test is whether the company can keep turning those earnings beats into a higher share price instead of just a nicer headline.
