Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Execution Of Strategic RoadmapProgress on supply-chain consolidation, portfolio innovation, and reinvestment is ahead of plan, helping sustain volume growth with limited promotional pressure and supporting underlying profitability.
Free Cash Flow And Capital SpendingExiting a heavy capital spending phase and normalizing capital expenditures in 2026 should improve free cash flow visibility and support step-downs in leverage.
Retail Distribution ExpansionAcquisition of California distribution routes enables stronger placement at key retailers, supporting market share gains and potential top-line outperformance in a large growth region.
Bears Say
Balance Sheet Leverage And Margin PressureA highly leveraged balance sheet combined with conservative margin assumptions raises concern that margin expansion could be slower than investors expect, increasing downside risk to the stock.
Distribution Deal Impact On MarginsPlanned distribution transactions are expected to dilute profit margins relative to prior trends, which could constrain margin expansion despite revenue growth efforts.
Retailer Destocking And Consumer Benefit ShocksRetailer inventory destocking and temporary reductions in consumer purchasing power from SNAP benefit timing have weakened reported sales and may cause near-term volatility in demand.
