BofA Securities analyst Peter Galbo maintains $Lamb Weston (LW.US)$ with a hold rating, and adjusts the target price from $68 to $80.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 47.2% and a total average return of 0.5% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Lamb Weston (LW.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The interest shown by an activist investor who has recently acquired a 5% stake in Lamb Weston and intends to engage in discussions with the company's board and management about various self-inflicted missteps has been noted. The company's stock has not performed well so far this year, and the involvement of the activist, along with another entity known for its agricultural industry expertise, is seen as significant.
Following the announcement that an investment firm has acquired a substantial stake in Lamb Weston and intends to suggest the consideration of a sale, there's an increased emphasis on the company's management, particularly as shares have seen a notable decline before the news. It is considered somewhat improbable that there would be considerable interest from any major branded companies in the sector. Lamb Weston has significant ties to the foodservice channel and tends to experience greater fluctuations in its financial outcomes compared to established packaged food manufacturers, due to the potential influence of broad economic trends and the annual quality of the potato harvest on its performance.
The disclosure of an activist stake in Lamb Weston has been seen as a positive development, potentially intensifying the company's urgency to enhance its operational performance. Discussions regarding strategic alternatives are anticipated, which could lead to further corporate actions aimed at driving shareholder value.

美銀證券分析師Peter Galbo維持$Lamb Weston (LW.US)$持有評級，並將目標價從68美元上調至80美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為47.2%，總平均回報率為0.5%。
此外，綜合報道，$Lamb Weston (LW.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
已經注意到一位激進投資者表現出的興趣，該投資者最近收購了蘭姆·韋斯頓5％的股份，並打算與該公司董事會和管理層就自己犯下的各種失誤進行討論。該公司的股票今年到目前爲止表現不佳，該激進分子以及另一家以其農業行業專業知識而聞名的實體的參與被認爲意義重大。
繼一家投資公司宣佈收購蘭姆·韋斯頓的大量股份並打算建議考慮出售之後，該公司的管理層越來越受到重視，尤其是在新聞發佈前股價已大幅下跌的情況下。人們認爲，任何主要品牌公司都不太可能對該行業產生濃厚的興趣。Lamb Weston與餐飲服務渠道有着密切的聯繫，與成熟的包裝食品製造商相比，其財務業績的波動往往更大，這是由於總體經濟趨勢和馬鈴薯收穫的年度質量對其業績的潛在影響。
披露激進分子持有蘭姆·韋斯頓的股份被視爲一項積極的進展，有可能加劇該公司提高運營業績的緊迫性。預計將就戰略替代方案進行討論，這可能會導致旨在提高股東價值的進一步公司行動。
