Thu, 17 Sep 2026 08:49:53 -0400

StoneX analyst Ben Klieve reiterated a Buy rating and $18.00 price target on Vital Farms (NASDAQ: VITL).

The analyst commented, "Yesterday after market close, an Axios report broke which stated Vital Farms was exploring strategic options, which included a potential takeout with a targeted valuation cited in the $15-$25/sh range. Shares traded up modestly in the 5%-10% range immediately after the report broke, but nowhere near this reported level. We cannot confirm the report.

The analyst comments "VITL 2Q was mixed with top-line beat ($166mm vs $160mm street) but profit miss (adj EBITDA -$27mm vs -$21mm street).
