Todd Brooks has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight The Chefs’ Warehouse’s strong performance and strategic initiatives. The company reported better-than-expected revenue and gross margin in the second quarter of 2025, with revenues reaching $1.03 billion, surpassing consensus estimates. This growth was driven by organic case growth, unique customer expansion, and increased placement growth, indicating a robust demand for their offerings.
Additionally, the company has been actively improving its profitability by exiting low-margin business lines, which has positively impacted its gross margin. The management’s positive outlook and raised guidance for fiscal year 2025 further support the Buy rating, as it reflects confidence in sustained growth and resilience in the high-end dining sector. The company’s strategic rationalization of acquired businesses and improved operational efficiency have also contributed to its enhanced financial performance, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
In another report released on July 29, BMO Capital also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $85.00 price target.
