What the Analysts think about Premier Food

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Premier Food stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Premier Foods posted a 6% rise in headline trading profit to £187.8 million for the year ending March 29, 2025, beating analyst estimates of £185 million and showing effective operational performance (Reuters).
Net debt fell by £92 million to £143.6 million, reducing the net debt/EBITDA ratio to 0.7×, which supports greater financial flexibility for future investments and returns to shareholders (Premier Foods RNS).
On August 21, 2025, Premier Foods agreed to acquire Merchant Gourmet for £48 million, adding a premium healthy ready-meals brand to its lineup and strengthening its strategy of growth through acquisitions in high-margin categories (Financial Times).
Unseasonably warm weather in Q1 FY26 caused a 2.7% drop in Grocery division sales, highlighting the sensitivity of Premier Foods’ main products to shifts in demand. Group revenue grew just 0.3% year-over-year to £240 million for the quarter ending June 28, 2025 (Reuters).
Finance costs are projected to increase to £23 million–£25 million in FY26 from £18.5 million in FY25 due to refinancing upcoming bonds, which may squeeze profit margins and slow net income growth (Investing.com).
RBC Capital Markets downgraded Premier Foods to “sector perform” in May 2025, noting that the existing share price already factors in recent strategic milestones, restricting further upside as analysts remain cautious on prospects for more acquisitions (Investing.com).
