Genesco stock (US3715321032) closed at USD 33.58 on September 21, 2026, up 2.50 percent, while Yahoo Finance shows an average analyst target of USD 39.67 versus a current level of USD 32.76.
Analyst gap stays open
That leaves the shares about 17.7 percent below the average target, a gap that gives the market room to keep debating how much of the improvement is already priced in.
Yahoo Finance also lists a high target of USD 45.00 and a low target of USD 36.00, a spread that shows the range of views around the Tennessee retailer remains wide even after the latest move.
Latest earnings context
MarketBeat said on September 21, 2026 that Genesco last reported quarterly results on August 5, 2026, with EPS of USD 0.65 versus consensus of USD 0.60 and revenue of USD 136.41 million versus USD 90.59 million expected. The same update said quarterly revenue rose 68.5 percent year over year and that analysts expect USD 2.25 in earnings per share for the current year.
For investors, the key point is the contrast between a stock near USD 33.58, an average target of USD 39.67 and a current-year EPS expectation of USD 2.25. That combination keeps the next earnings update and margin trend in the spotlight.
