Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Freshpet, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 17.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 5% a year, against analyst forecasts of -10%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
