Janney Montgomery Scott raised estimates and its price target on Buy-rated Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) following strong Q2 results.
The firm's price target goes from $90 to $100. FY11 operating cash EPS estimates go from $1.28 to $1.50 and FY12 from $2.08 to $2.40, including the new shares issued.
The firm comments, "GMCR's second quarter results brought to fore the least appreciated aspect to the story - margin expansion."
Specifically, Janney sees EBIT margin potential improving to the 20% level in FY13, up from 14% estimated in FY11. The firm notes that gross margin had been artificially depressed by the high percentage of zero (or slightly negative) brewer margins. "As the K-Cup revenue builds from the growing installed base of brewers, K-Cup revenue increases as a percentage of the total and improves the gross margin on simple revenue mix. Going forward, SG&A expense as a percentage of sales should begin to fall further, enhancing the EBIT margin potential which we see improving to the 20% level in FY13, up from 14% estimated in FY11."
