Base and Bull scenarios

Bull20%

Price target

$79.04

+47.5% from spot

Under the Bull scenario, global quick-service restaurant foot traffic inflects strongly upward, led by successful value meal campaigns and accelerated international restaurant openings among key accounts including McDonald's. European foodservice demand rebounds sharply from Q1 FY2027 declines, eliminating industry factory underutilization. Favorable potato crop yields in upcoming harvests significantly reduce open-market potato costs, while non-potato inflation abates. Robust pricing realization combines with organizational cost savings to restore operating margins toward historical peak levels, generating substantial excess free cash flow for accelerated share repurchases and balance sheet deleveraging.

Consolidated revenue growth accelerates into mid-single-digit territory annually driven by international volume rebound and market share gains.
Operating margin expands rapidly toward historical highs as raw potato input costs moderate and global capacity utilization nears full operating capacity.
Annual free cash flow expands substantially, enabling rapid balance sheet deleveraging below target leverage thresholds and enhanced capital returns.
Valuation multiple expands toward upper-quartile branded packaged food peers on forward earnings.

Base55%

Price target

$59.50

+11.0% from spot

Under the Base scenario, Lamb Weston delivers low-single-digit revenue growth and gradual operating margin normalization in line with the house forecast. North American foodservice volume growth remains steady at 1.5% to 3.0% over FY2027-FY2031, while pricing headwinds subside as contract negotiations conclude. International segment operations stabilize following capacity rationalization in Europe. Operating margin recovers from 8.94% in FY2026 to 9.5% in FY2027 and reaches 11.5% by FY2031. Accrual capital expenditures normalize to $330M-$350M annually, driving strong free cash flow generation and steady balance sheet deleveraging.

Consolidated net sales expand modestly in FY2027 and FY2028, accelerating into low-single-digit gains across FY2029-FY2030 before moderating in FY2031.
Consolidated operating margin normalizes from trough FY2026 levels across FY2027 and FY2028, reaching target double-digit margins by FY2031 as cost savings offset input inflation.
