Citi initiated coverage of Dutch Bros with a Buy rating and $82 price target. The company has proven its portability across the U.S. and, beyond a multi-year "brand funnel" tailwind, other key same-store-sales levers are set to layer into the investment story in the coming 12-24 months, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Dutch Bros' on-trend concept is well positioned to win share despite the firm's muted view of the coffee-away-from-home market, the firm added.
