Reason
As previously reported, BofA initiated coverage of Karat Packaging with a Neutral rating and $28 price target. Volumes remain "solid" and the firm sees other positives, but Karat is in a competitive sector with macro risks, the analyst tells investors. While the firm likes Karat's approach as it has transitioned to focusing on distribution from growing manufacturing, it views the shares as fairly valued.

Reason
Truist raised the firm's price target on Karat Packaging to $31 from $28 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm cites the company's Q1 EBITDA and sales beat and notes that while the imposition of tariffs creates risk for Karat Packaging, there is also opportunity, with Karat having significantly diversified away from China and also having restarted some manufacturing, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
