What are Wall Street analysts saying about Lamb Weston stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lamb Weston stock:
- 1. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "1Q sales, gross profit and EBITDA were better than expectations. Price/ mix (core to our thesis) was significantly better than expected as was volume. Moreover, FY19 EBITDA guidance was maintained despite the expected negative impact from a poor crop in Europe (we estimate ~$20-$30M impact), implying much better results in North America. We expect the stock to outperform today owing to the strong beat and better than feared guidance. Solid 1Q beat driven by stronger than expected sales and gross profit. Net sales beat our estimate by ~$44M or ~5% and consensus by $35 or 4%. Both volume and price/ mix came in significantly better than we were projecting – volume came in at +4% vs. our estimate of +2% and price/mix came in at +8% vs. our estimate of +4.5% – as each segment beat our expectations (with particular strength in the Global and Retail segments)." (10/2/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Lamb Weston has lagged the industry in a month. The company has been incurring high SG&A costs, evident from its fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 results wherein SG&A costs increased due to elevated labor and infrastructure costs associated with operating as a stand-alone company. Also, higher advertising and promotional investments led to the upside. Unfortunately, SG&A costs are expected to remain high in fiscal 2019. Moreover, elevated production cost inflation is likely to limit gross margin expansion. Nonetheless, Lamb Weston retained its stellar past record in the fourth quarter, as top and bottom lines grew year over year and topped estimates for the seventh straight time. The company expects the operating environment to remain favorable in fiscal 2019, wherein it expects continued solid global demand growth for frozen potato products. Also, Lamb Weston expects processing capacity utilization levels in North America to be strong." (8/20/2018)
