BMO Capital raised its price target on Post Holdings (NYSE: POST) to $85.00 (from $83.00) while maintaining a Market Perform rating.

Analyst Kenneth Zaslow commented, "Post’s 1Q17 adjusted EBITDA of $230 million exceeded consensus, as higher-than-expected operating profit in Active Nutrition more than offset lower-than-expected operating gains in both Michael Foods and Private Label. POST raised the low end of its F2017 EBITDA outlook from $910-950 million to $920-950 million, in part reflecting an improved egg pricing outlook in Michael Foods (i.e., recent cases of avian influenza led to higher international demand for table eggs)."
