Citing concerns about overly optimistic growth expectations, UBS gave a ‘Sell’ rating to Freshpet stock with a $65 price target on June 16, 2025. The analyst called out the company’s top and bottom-line estimates as too high, which are in the mid-to-high teens growth range, as implied by its pricing. The analyst believes this will lead to valuation contraction.
Based on the company’s guidance for 2025, it projects 15%-18% revenue growth, which would result in $190-$210 million in adjusted EBITDA. Meanwhile, Freshpet, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRPT) surpassed analyst estimates in Q1 2025, where it reported an 18% YoY increase in sales and 45.7% growth in its adjusted gross margin.
Thus, Freshpet, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:FRPT) short-term performance is one to keep an eye on.
