Overweight

Reason

Barclays lowered the firm's price target on Utz Brands to $16 from $17 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm says that despite the ongoing salty snack category "malaise," it has remained bullish on Utz shares, believing the company's growth is far less reliant on overall category growth trends given its "significant idiosyncratic whitespace distribution opportunities" in its expansion markets. The analyst remains "encouraged" with recent measured channel tracking data but shifted some EBITDA from Q2 to the second half of 2025 to better reflect Utz's phasing of investment spend and year ago comparisons.

Reason

As previously reported, DA Davidson upgraded Utz Brands to Buy from Neutral with an unchanged price target of $16. While acknowledging the "challenging tape," the firm sees a favorable risk-reward for Utz given that the company's share of salty snacks is firming amid easing category promotion and the company's strength in non-tracked channels. Utz has over delivered on supply chain transformation, which could yield upside revisions if the company sustains recent share momentum, adds the analyst, who also cites a relative valuation gap for the shares compared to food peers.

Reason

UBS initiated coverage of Utz Brands with a Neutral rating and $15 price target, implying 9% potential upside. The firm's analysis suggests Utz can continue to gain share in U.S. salty snacks through strong performance and execution in core markets coupled with distribution gains in expansion markets, but believes it is unlikely that salty snacks category trends will improve in the coming months given the current U.S. consumer backdrop, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Strong productivity and a more benign cost environment should support the bottom line, but UBS expects shares to remain range bound until visibility on top line growth improves.
