Deep Analysis

Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company keeps after paying direct production costs, so Avery Dennison’s 28.9% means it retains about 29 cents of every dollar of sales before other expenses.

That figure sits just below the Industrials sector median of 29.0%, placing the company at the 47th percentile among its peer group—essentially in line with the typical industry profitability. No trend data is available: the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are both listed as N/A, and the only historical value provided is the current 28.9% for the most recent period. Because the margin is near the sector median and no directional movement can be assessed, the combination suggests neither a clear competitive advantage nor a deteriorating cost position, implying baseline risk without a strong catalyst. This supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the metric neither signals above-normal returns nor raises a red flag relative to peers.
