Robert Moskow has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Freshpet’s strong fundamental momentum and attractive profit trajectory. He points to first-quarter sales and earnings that exceeded expectations, with robust double-digit organic growth driven primarily by volume rather than pricing, and meaningful gross margin improvement despite higher incentive pay and accelerated advertising spend.

He also emphasizes that management’s cautious guidance reflects macro uncertainty rather than any signs of weakening demand or competitive disruption, while his own outlook assumes faster sales growth into 2026. In addition, Moskow underscores that the company remains on course to reach its targeted 20–22% EBITDA margin by 2027, supported by operating leverage and production efficiencies, with commodity cost risks not expected to materially impact results until later in the decade, if at all. The price target remains unchanged at $80, reinforcing his positive stance on the stock’s risk‑reward profile.

According to TipRanks, Moskow is an analyst with an average return of \-0.6% and a 43.13% success rate. Moskow covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as JM Smucker, UTZ Brands, and Once Upon a Farm, PBC.
