ACCO Brands is preparing to release its earnings, with analysts expecting an EPS of $0.23. Despite past earnings beats, the stock has reacted negatively, indicating that market reactions are driven by guidance rather than just earnings performance. Analysts have rated ACCO as 'Outperform' with a price target of $7.0, suggesting a potential upside. However, the company faces challenges with declining revenue growth and profitability metrics compared to its peers, which could impact investor sentiment.
