Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the revenue growth rate for this quarter?

Revenue growth is crucial for assessing Freshpet's ability to capture market share and meet consumer demand.

How does management plan to address any potential supply chain issues?

Supply chain challenges could impact product availability and sales, making this a key focus for investors.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

Supporting Evidence

Freshpet has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational performance.

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Recent trends in pet ownership show a growing preference for premium pet food, which Freshpet specializes in.

Key Risk
