No analyst covering Aramark publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for ARMK are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $47 to $75 over the next 12 months.
Aramark returned +55.8% over the 12 months to 15 Sept 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
