Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) are lower Monday after the company lost a noted bull.
Dougherty & Co downgraded the K-Cup maker from Buy to Neutral, saying they sees a number of factors that will challenge the multiple investors assign the stock.
Factors include:
1) K‐Cup revenues, while solid, were below their estimate in the December quarter. Sales rose 21% in the December, but was below the firm's 28% estimate
2) portion packs implied in March quarter guidance were also below the firm's estimate. "With 4‐weeks of K‐Cup supply on hand (a good number) in December, normal channel inventories, easier YOY comparisons, and above consensus brewer sales during the holidays, we were expecting higher March quarter K‐Cup growth than the mid‐twenty percent range implied in its guidance," the analyst states.
3) They sense GMCR views the long‐term growth of its U.S. household brewer base more conservatively today than when it first provided projections and they believe such projections could prove aggressive.
Given these factors, the firm is taking a more more cautious view on the performance outlook for the shares.
