VITL Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Vital Farms Inc. has demonstrated robust financial performance with a total sales increase of 22.2% to $166 million, driven by significant growth in both the egg and butter product categories, notably a 19.5% rise in egg-related products and an impressive 89% increase in butter-related products. The company also reported an improvement in gross margin, which rose by 280 basis points to 36.1%, thanks to operational efficiencies, higher volume, and favorable commodity costs. Furthermore, the expansion of its family farm relationships and the anticipated increase in egg sourcing, supported by the opening of a new facility, position Vital Farms for enhanced productivity and profitability in the near future.
Bears say
Vital Farms Inc. faces a challenging outlook due to a projected decline in its adjusted EBITDA margin rate in 2025, prompted by lapping operational efficiencies and rising commodity costs such as corn, despite some offset from reduced promotions. Additionally, the company anticipates slower growth in the first half of 2025, attributable to tight egg supply and low inventory levels that hinder its ability to meet demand, alongside difficult year-over-year comparisons. Moreover, increased spending in various operational areas has resulted in a deleveraged SG&A margin, while a disclosed material weakness in internal control over financial reporting raises concerns regarding financial stability and oversight.
