Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Limoneira stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Limoneira Company is an agribusiness and real estate development company. Its current operations consist of fruit production and marketing, real estate development and capital investment activities. Limoneira has three business segments: agribusiness, rental operations, and real estate development. The agribusiness segment includes its farming and lemon packing operations. The Company produces lemons, avocados, oranges, and other specialty crops. The rental operations segment includes housing, organic recycling, commercial and leased land operations. The real estate development segment includes its real estate projects and development. Limoneira Company is based in Santa Paula, California. " (1/15/2020)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, " Well Positioned in Current and Future Agribusiness Market. As one of the largest domestic producers and distributors of lemons, Limoneira is well positioned to capture value as a leader in a market we believe to be a uniquely healthy segment within the agribusiness industry.
Several Tailwinds in Its Addressable Market. With demand for the lemon crop coming from domestic buyers in the food service industry, we believe revenue growth is well protected from weakness in the grocery market and challenges from international trade.
Recent Weakness a Perfect Storm. Through the first half of fiscal 2019, the company has faced pricing headwinds due to weather issues within all three major crops: lemons, avocados and oranges. We expect these pressures to subside in the second half of the year and into fiscal 2020.
Non-Core Assets and Emerging Acreage Overlooked. A decade in the making real estate initiative is set to deliver what management believes could be $80 million in cash flows through the mid-2020’s. In addition, 1,500 acres of orchards are expected to transition to fruit bearing in 2021, which we believe could add upwards of $30 million in annualized revenue.
Buy Opportunity for Value and Growth Investors Alike. We believe current price weakness will be temporary, and at current valuations shares present an attractive upside for value investors. With our estimated revenue CAGR in excess of 20% from fiscal 2018 through fiscal 2021, we also believe the stock should be considered by growth investors." (7/22/2019)
