The case for and against

Updated Sep 2, 2026

Bull case

ACCO Brands is poised for future success due to its strategic focus on high-growth product categories, recent acquisition of EPOS, and strong brand portfolio. Sales are expected to benefit from growth in Latin America and demand for computer accessories, while cost reduction and restructuring initiatives are anticipated to drive earnings growth. Improving back-to-school performance and expansion into technology accessories also offer potential growth opportunities. The current stock price represents a substantial buying opportunity with a 42% potential upside based on a conservative EV/NTM EBITDA multiple of 6.0x and continued net debt reduction.

Bear case

ACCO Brands is experiencing challenges in its sales of gaming accessories due to softer consumer spending, however, its performance is expected to improve in the latter half of 2026 with the launch of new gaming titles and the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 gaming console. Additionally, the company's multi-year restructuring program is resulting in cost savings that are benefiting gross margins and streamlining SG&A expenses, leading to a decline in SG&A expenses by -5% in 2025. Despite these efforts, ACCO's profitability measures saw a decline and the company is implementing a price increase to offset tariff-related cost impacts. However, strong initial orders for back-to-school products indicate a promising season ahead.
