I recommend a buy rating for UTZ Brands, as I expect it to benefit from the secular growth in the Snacks industry. The company's multi-brand portfolio approach allows for continuous innovation without diluting each brand. UTZ's expansion strategy through acquisitions positions it for potential share gains as it expands nationwide.

Utz Brands remains on track to deliver on its full-year guidance, with the company's distribution capacity providing opportunities for increased distribution and margin accretion. UTZ's go-to-market strategy of Independent Operators ensures long-term sustainability and reduces pressure on the balance sheet, allowing for potential expansion through the purchase of additional brands.

Allocating more excess capital to deleveraging should help to lower Utz Brands, Inc. credit risks and its interest expenses.
