Freshpet’s stock took a hit after the company reported Q4 earnings that fell short of sales expectations, and its 2025 sales growth projection of 21%-24% didn’t meet analyst estimates. This has led several analysts, including those from TD Cowen, Wells Fargo, and Citi, to lower their price targets. The main concern is a slowdown in sales growth, perceived as a temporary dip in the dog food market. However, some analysts remain optimistic about Freshpet’s long-term prospects, citing its strategic growth plans, expected margin improvements, and potential for sales recovery as market conditions stabilize. Freshpet’s management remains confident in their ability to achieve higher margins through improved efficiencies and strategic marketing.
