Moreover, strong digital initiatives and aggressive expansion strategies by the company also add to positives. However, earnings estimates have remained stable over the past month, reflecting limited upside potential for the company’s future earnings. Moreover, the company is experiencing lower than expected sale in ice cream products which adds to the concern.
