Although shares of J & J Snack Foods Corp (NASDAQ: JJSF) are currently trading close to record valuations and multiples, they do not seem to reflect the company’s growth prospects and strong organic performance, DA Davidson’s Eric M. Gottlieb said in a report. He initiated coverage of the company with a Buy rating and a price target of $135.
Analyst Gottlieb expects J&J Snack Foods to generate robust topline and bottom line. This expectation, along with acquisition opportunities and the possibility of the company being a buyout target, “drive our optimism.”

While the company has made significant progress, there is still room for growth in several product areas, offering good potential for continued mid-single-digit organic growth and low-double-digit earnings growth, Gottlieb mentioned.
Small Acquisitions
“The company has not made an acquisition since May 2014; it has made 12 over the last ten years, including five between 2010 and 2014,” the analyst wrote. J&J Snack Foods has the cash to make acquisitions and has been focusing on small purchases which reduces the risk, albeit reducing the opportunities for shorter-term investors.
“Transformational purchases are not in the company’s DNA, and debt, though an option, is likely not to be utilized. Targets are in the $50-$150 million range, but JJSF could go to $200 million without utilizing debt, and greater if it utilizes the balance sheet,” Gottlieb stated.
