Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$23.82

+14.4% from spot

Gradual operating margin normalization from FY2025 trough toward historical levels supports dividend stability and steady cash flow expansion, delivering target $23.82 with probability 60.0% and return 14.4%. Disconfirmation would occur by FY2026 if operating margin fails to rebound or free cash flow remains below dividend payouts.

Operating margin normalizes gradually toward historical levels from the FY2025 trough
Retail volumes stabilize as price gaps against store brands narrow
Free cash flow expands sufficiently to fully cover dividend obligations

Bull20%

Price target

$38.24

+83.6% from spot

Foodservice expansion accelerates alongside input cost deflation across turkey and pork, lifting gross margins and driving operating margin recovery beyond historical baselines. This path reaches target $38.24 with probability 20.0% and return 83.6%. Disconfirmation would appear by FY2026 if wholesale protein costs spike again or restaurant foot traffic stalls.

Foodservice institutional volume accelerates above general dining trends
Raw material feed and flock costs deflate across protein supply chains
Branded grocery franchises gain center-store volume without heavy promotions
