In a report released today, Kara Anderson from B.Riley FBR maintained a Hold rating on Farmer Brothers Company, with a price target of $21. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $12.52, close to its 52-week low of $10.65.
Anderson commented:
“Neutral-rated Farmer Brothers (FARM, $21 PT) will report F4Q19 and FY19 (June) results after market close on and hold a conf. call at 5:00PM ET accessible by dialing 844.423.9890 with passcode 7019529. We model F4Q19 revenue of $147.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million compared to consensus $144.3 million and $6.4 million and implied F4Q adjusted EBITDA guidance between $6-$8 million. Given FARM’s recent miss and our limited visibility into F4Q, we are comfortable with consensus positioning below our model. With FARM failing to achieve recent growth objectives, we remain sidelined into the print despite the ~30% negative move in shares since we downgraded the stock on May 8, 2019 (vs. the S&P 500 up 3%).”
According to TipRanks.com, Anderson is ranked #1131 out of 5540 analysts.
