Lamb Weston
Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LW) is the nation’s largest producer and marketer of frozen potato products and the ninth-largest packaged food company of any kind.
In February, the company acquired the 50% of a joint venture that it did not already own from Netherlands-based Meijer Frozen Foods. That boosted revenue in the May quarter but came at a cost to EPS, and EPS is expected to take a hit again in the August quarter. The hit to EPS sent investors fleeing, and the share price has fallen by about 20% over the past three months. The outlook for the full fiscal year calls for more growth, however.
Of nine analysts covering the company, eight have a Buy or Strong Buy rating, and the other has a Sell rating. At a share price of around $91.70, the upside potential based on a median price target of $125.00 is about 36.3%. At the high price target of $130.00, the upside potential rises to 41.8%.
