Todd Brooks has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Westrock Coffee’s impressive first-quarter performance and strategic growth initiatives. The company exceeded market expectations with its revenue and AEBITDA, driven by strong momentum in its single-serve and flavors/extracts/ingredients (FE&I) segments. This growth is attributed to successful cross-selling activities and the recent launch of the Conway, AR facility.
Additionally, the expansion of production capabilities, such as the commercialization of high-speed canning lines and the scaling of single-serve production, positions Westrock Coffee for continued success. The company’s ability to leverage its integrated production capabilities and product development expertise provides a competitive advantage. As Westrock Coffee continues to gain market share and expand its client base, these factors collectively support the Buy rating and the anticipated EBITDA growth in the second half of the fiscal year.
In another report released yesterday, Craig-Hallum also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $13.00 price target.
WEST’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $7.070 to $7.355, which is a 4.03% increase.
