BMO Capital analyst Kelly Bania maintains $United Natural Foods (UNFI.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $12 to $23.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 66.0% and a total average return of 5.8% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $United Natural Foods (UNFI.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
United Natural Foods reported Q4 earnings that surpassed expectations along with a FY25 guidance that met projections, despite a previous inclination among investors towards a bearish stance. The company experienced a shift to positive wholesale volumes towards the quarter's end, and has presented a 3-year forecast that anticipates margin expansion despite stable sales. This suggests that the cyclical challenges faced in the past are likely to diminish. Additionally, there is potential for further benefits stemming from a rise in vendor promotions or advantageous procurement possibilities.
United Natural Foods is demonstrating progress in its turnaround efforts, even amid challenging macroeconomic conditions. Although growth in food-at-home sales has been moderate, the company has observed encouraging signs such as a resurgence in volume growth towards the conclusion of Q4. The long-term forecasts appear to be attainable, which may provide a degree of stability to the stock's valuation in the short term.
United Natural Foods recently reported Q4 EBITDA that exceeded forecasts, positioning FY24 EBITDA at the upper range of the company's guidance. The organization's outlook for FY25 suggests steady to slight growth, providing reassurance to stakeholders. Additionally, the company has outlined a long-term objective for a high single-digit annual EBITDA increase. Nevertheless, anticipated flat sales in the upcoming years may curtail the potential for valuation growth.

BMO資本市場分析師Kelly Bania維持$聯合原生態食品 (UNFI.US)$持有評級，並將目標價從12美元上調至23美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為66.0%，總平均回報率為5.8%。
此外，綜合報道，$聯合原生態食品 (UNFI.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
聯合天然食品公佈的第四季度收益超出預期，儘管投資者此前傾向於看跌立場，但25財年的預期也符合預期。該公司在本季度末經歷了向正批發量的轉變，併發布了3年預測，預計儘管銷售穩定，但利潤率仍將擴大。這表明過去面臨的週期性挑戰可能會減少。此外，供應商促銷的增加或有利的採購可能性有可能帶來更多好處。
即使在艱難的宏觀經濟條件下，聯合天然食品的週轉工作也取得了進展。儘管家用食品銷售增長溫和，但該公司已觀察到令人鼓舞的跡象，例如在第四季度末銷量恢復增長。長期預測似乎是可以實現的，這可能會在短期內爲股票的估值提供一定程度的穩定性。
聯合天然食品最近公佈的第四季度息稅折舊攤銷前利潤超出預期，使24財年的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤處於公司預期的上限。該組織對25財年的展望顯示出穩定至輕微的增長，這爲利益相關者提供了保證。此外，該公司還概述了實現高個位數的年度息稅折舊攤銷前利潤增長的長期目標。儘管如此，未來幾年預期的持平銷售可能會抑制估值增長的潛力。
