What the Analysts think about Post Holdings
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Post Holdings stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Post Holdings stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted EBITDA rose 6.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, and management narrowed its full-year forecast to $1.56–$1.57 billion. That points to solid full-year earnings delivery despite a weaker latest quarter. (Post Holdings)
Foodservice volumes grew 4.3% in the third quarter as service levels and production improved. Investment in cage-free and precooked egg capacity could support further growth in value-added products. (Post Holdings, Post Holdings)
Post repurchased 2.1 million shares in the third quarter, reducing its share count by about 17% year to date. Fewer shares can support per-share earnings if the business holds up. (The Motley Fool)
Underlying consumer-brand volumes are weak: excluding 8th Avenue, Post Consumer Brands volumes fell 7.1%, including declines in pet food and cereal, while Weetabix volumes fell 3.8%. Persistent distribution losses and category softness could constrain organic growth. (Post Holdings)
The third quarter showed pressure on profitability: operating profit fell 19.3% and net earnings fell 41.7% year on year. Management’s preliminary fiscal 2027 view is broadly flat at about $1.48 billion of Adjusted EBITDA after removing elevated Foodservice earnings and divestiture contributions. (Post Holdings)
Leverage remains high at 4.6 times, while quarterly interest expense rose to $108.2 million from $88.5 million a year earlier. Higher refinancing costs are pushing management towards debt reduction and a slower pace of share buybacks, limiting financial flexibility. (The Motley Fool)
