Analysts at Dougherty & Co cut their price target on Caribou Coffee (NASDAQ: CBOU) to $13.00 from $15.00. The price cut reflects a transition in K-Cup royalties.
Gregory J. McKinley, an analyst at the firm, described the situation as follows. "CBOU earns substantially all of its gross profit with Keurig from K-Cup royalties, not green coffee sales, and recent price stratifying in which GMCR raised the price of CBOU-branded K-Cups hurt CBOU’s royalties, which are volume-based."
"Looking into 2H 2012 and 2013, commodity costs as an earnings headwind will abate meaningfully, but we expect earnings from this benefit to receive a low multiple from investors. Considering the transition of the Keurig business and reduced revenue and earnings outlook, we are lowering our price target to $13, or 6.0x our revised 2013 EBITDA estimate based on our projected 2013 balance sheet," noted McKinley.
Dougherty & Co. has a Buy Rating on Caribou.
