Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
On Monday, UBS analyst Peter Grom revised the price target for Brown Forman (NYSE:BFb) (NYSE:BF-B) shares, reducing it to $30.00 from the previous $38.00, while sustaining a Neutral stock rating. The adjustment follows Brown Forman’s reported challenges at the close of fiscal year 2025, with future projections indicating a continuation of these difficulties.
Brown Forman’s fourth-quarter results and outlook for the upcoming year did not meet market expectations, causing the stock to fall by 18% on the day of the announcement, a stark contrast to the 1% decline in the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP). The company’s performance raised concerns among investors about whether the current issues are permanent rather than temporary.
In his statement, Grom noted that prior to the earnings report, there was a belief that the worst outcomes had already been factored into the stock price and that potential cost savings might lead to better profitability. However, the actual earnings report did not support this optimism, leading to a reevaluation of the stock’s long-term growth prospects.
Despite the drop, Brown Forman’s valuation remains attractive, trading at approximately 17 times earnings, which is below its five-year average of around 33 times. Even with its valuation appearing favorable, Grom expressed that the stock is likely to stay within a certain range until there is clearer evidence of revenue growth.
UBS’s revised price target and maintained rating reflect a cautious stance on Brown Forman’s stock, acknowledging the company’s conservative outlook but also pointing to the challenges in predicting its fundamental trajectory amid ongoing industry trends that have not met expectations.
