Quad (US7473011093) expanded its In-Store Connect retail media network with Chedraui USA across 25 Smart & Final stores in California on September 16, 2026, according to MarketScreener. MarketBeat reported on September 29, 2026 that recent analysts had raised targets to USD 13.00, giving Quad stock a concrete valuation reference while the company broadens its marketing offering.

Retail media reaches 25 stores

The Chedraui USA expansion covers 25 Smart & Final locations in California, adding retail media capacity at the point of purchase. The move extends Quad's In-Store Connect network, which links marketing services with in-store execution rather than relying only on traditional print.

Quad's investor-relations page describes the company as a marketing experience business serving about 2,100 clients with roughly 10,000 employees across 10 countries. The company reported USD 2.4 billion in net sales for fiscal 2025, while integrated solutions represented 22.00 percent of total net sales, according to Quad.

Second-quarter sales improve

Quad generated USD 577.50 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2026, up 1.00 percent from the second quarter of 2025, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. Adjusted EBITDA was USD 42.00 million versus USD 43.00 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 7.30 percent from 7.60 percent.

The same call showed adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 0.24 in the second quarter, compared with USD 0.14 a year earlier. Management reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of USD 175.00 million to USD 215.00 million and projected free cash flow of USD 40.00 million to USD 60.00 million.

Target remains above market value

MarketBeat reported that five brokerages carried a consensus Buy rating and an average 12-month target of USD 12.00 on September 29, 2026. The report also cited USD 13.00 targets from Rosenblatt Securities and Benchmark, both above the latest primary-exchange context price of USD 9.39 on October 6, 2026.

Quad's next earnings date is October 27, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. For investors, the key test is whether the retail media and packaging expansion can offset pressure in large-scale print while adjusted EBITDA stays within the 2026 guidance range.
