Robert Moskow has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Freshpet’s potential for recovery and growth. Despite a recent decline in Freshpet’s stock, Moskow sees the company as a significant disruptor in the large dog food market, with a strong competitive advantage. He expects the stock to bounce back if the management can convincingly address concerns about sales deceleration and provide optimistic guidance for 2025.
Additionally, Moskow anticipates a positive outcome in the upcoming financial results, driven by a potential small outperformance in the fourth quarter. He is confident in Freshpet’s ability to surpass expectations, based on their strong finish and alignment with internal forecasts. Furthermore, Moskow believes a convincing narrative about the temporary nature of the recent sales slowdown and a robust growth projection for 2025 will further bolster investor confidence. His price target reflects a high valuation multiple, in line with historical takeout multiples for fast-growing pet food companies.
In another report released today, Robert W. Baird also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $170.00 price target.
