HSBC initiates coverage of Ermenegildo Zegna with a Buy rating and $16 target
HSBC began covering Ermenegildo Zegna Group, assigning a Buy recommendation and a price objective of $16 per share. The bank highlighted the company's 13.8% organic revenue growth in the first half of 2026 and expects the Made‑to‑Measure line to lift sales density to about €28,000 per square metre by 2028. Goldman Sachs kept its Neutral stance with a $14 target. The news pushed the stock up roughly 1% in trading.
Why it matters
HSBC believes the current share price undervalues the brand’s growth trajectory, implying potential upside for investors. Goldman Sachs’ neutral view provides a counterpoint, suggesting the rally may be moderated.
