Vital Farms is a defensive growth stock with a projected 28% upside to $43.10 per share by mid-2027, driven by management's guidance toward $1B in sales and strong investor. The company leads the pasture-raised egg market with a premium brand built on ethical sourcing, B Corp certification, and pricing power in a commodity category, allowing it to grow share. Vital is expanding its supply chain, aiming to increase capacity by 30% in FY25 and boost household penetration beyond its current 9.9%, with shell eggs contributing over 90% of the total.
Growth slowed in Q1 due to supply constraints, but management reaffirmed FY2025 guidance of $740 million in revenue and $100 million in EBITDA. Profitability improved with net margins at 10% supported by the company's asset-light model and pricing power in food staples. This quarter saw the added risk of a potential impact from tariffs, although this is expected to be offset by double-digit price increases.
