Edward Kelly has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Performance Food Group’s strong growth potential and strategic initiatives. The company has set new three-year targets that include significant sales and EBITDA growth, which Kelly believes are conservative estimates. This suggests there is room for upside, especially as the company does not factor in potential improvements in the industry or significant mergers and acquisitions.
Additionally, Performance Food Group’s strategic pathways, such as collaboration across segments and a robust e-commerce platform, demonstrate a differentiated value proposition. The company’s leadership, with a capable team ready to take over when necessary, further strengthens its investment appeal. Kelly remains optimistic about the company’s ability to gain market share and achieve a multi-year growth trajectory, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
According to TipRanks, Kelly is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 9.2% and a 64.72% success rate. Kelly covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as Kroger Company, Walmart, and Albertsons Companies.
