BofA analyst Peter Galbo raised the firm's price target on McCormick to $86 from $82 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company reported Q1 earnings ahead of the Street consensus on better sales and margins. Management pointed to the high end of its organic sales range and "a seemingly conservative outlook for the rest of the year," says the analyst, who points to planned investor meetings with management in April, continued improvement in U.S. scanner data and Q2 earnings results due at the end of June as among catalysts going forward.

Citi raised the firm's price target on McCormick to $68 from $60 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares following the fiscal Q1 report. The firm says it is difficult to point to a nearer-term downside catalyst for the shares when the Q1 results were solid enough that McCormick was able to talk down Q2 expectations without weighing on the shares. In addition, McCormick could soon start to benefit from a variety of company-specific initiatives to drive higher sales, .the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm cites valuation and "lofty" earnings expectations for the Sell rating.
