On Friday, Lake Street Capital Markets updated its outlook on Limoneira Company (NASDAQ:LMNR) shares, raising the price target to $25.00, up from the previous target of $23.00. The firm maintained its Buy rating on the stock.
Limoneira's second quarter of 2024 operations faced challenges due to the delayed avocado harvest, which moved from the second to the third quarter, and persistent softness in the lemon market.
These agricultural setbacks, however, were overshadowed by significant positive developments in the company's real estate segment.
The analyst from Lake Street Capital Markets noted a substantial increase in the cash flow estimates for the Harvest at Limoneira real estate project.
The project's cash flow projections for the fiscal years 2024 to 2030 were revised upward by 46%, amounting to $180 million. Additionally, the forecast for fiscal year 2024 alone saw a $15 million increase.
The optimism surrounding Limoneira's real estate ventures is also bolstered by potential additional benefits that are yet to be quantified. The analyst believes there is further optionality that could enhance the company's financials beyond the current projections.
Investors and stakeholders of Limoneira Company are now watching closely as the real estate developments unfold, potentially unlocking more value for the agribusiness firm.
With the revised price target reflecting the anticipated growth, the stock's performance in the market may respond to these updated expectations.
