Stifel Turns Bullish On This Food Company

  • Stifel analyst Christopher Growe upgraded Simply Good Foods Co SMPL to Buy from Hold with a price target of $42, up from $38, implying an 8.5% upside.
  • The analyst sees potential for an acceleration in the company's long-term growth driven by the growth in new users and increased household penetration.
  • Growe added that a recovery in mobility and buy-rate for Simply's products is not embedded in estimates and could enhance its growth through the year.
  • Growe believes acquisition activity could occur as well sees opportunity from Simply using its balance sheet "to buy a business or being a takeover candidate itself."
