In other recent news, BofA Securities has maintained a neutral rating on The Vita Coco Co. Inc. and raised its price target to $38.00, following an analysis of the company's sales performance and recently resolved inventory issues. Despite a modest 3.2% sales increase year-to-date in the Americas, Vita Coco continues to demonstrate strong financial health, with zero debt and robust profitability metrics. The company's third-quarter earnings call revealed that inventory constraints, primarily due to temporary challenges in ocean freight availability and transit times, have been addressed.
Vita Coco reported mixed outcomes in its Q3 2024 earnings call with a 4% decrease in net sales to $133 million, primarily due to a 37% drop in private label sales. However, the company raised its full-year guidance for net sales and adjusted EBITDA, showing resilience with an 8% growth in the U.S. and a 19% increase in the UK. The company's net income for the quarter rose to $19 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $15 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
BofA Securities anticipates that with the inventory situation resolved, Vita Coco will be in a better position to engage in advertising, merchandising, and promotional activities to bolster sales. Looking ahead to 2025, BofA Securities forecasts a 13.5% increase in sales for Americas Vita Coco Coconut Water, slightly above the consensus estimate of 12.5%. These are among the recent developments for the company.
