Robert Moskow has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Lamb Weston Holdings. The company has shown better-than-expected volume growth, driven by new customer acquisitions and increased orders in North America. This has led to an upward revision of the price target to $60. However, despite these positive developments, the company faces challenges in terms of price and product mix, which are expected to create headwinds.
The competitive pricing environment, particularly in international markets, and a shift towards lower-priced private label products in North America are expected to impact sales. Additionally, management anticipates flat gross margins in the upcoming quarter due to inflation and higher fixed costs from unexpected plant maintenance. These factors contribute to the Hold rating, as the company works to balance volume growth with profitability challenges.
In another report released today, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $60.00 price target.
