Investment thesis
🔼 Strong financial performance. Post Holdings reported solid financial results for Q3 2024 (Q2 2024). The company's revenue increased by 4.7% YoY to $1.95 bln. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.54, compared to $1.52 in the same period last year. EPS significantly exceeded market expectations, while revenue slightly missed projections. Post Holdings also improved its forecast for the entire 2024 fiscal year.
🔼 Attractive valuation. Post Holdings is valued at just 19.2 times expected annual earnings, which is slightly higher than the sector's median (17.6x) but significantly lower than its own 5-year average (28.6x).
🔼 Share buyback program. The company shares profits with shareholders through a stock buyback program. In Q3 2024, it repurchased $207.9 million worth of shares, and in July, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million for buybacks. These programs support the stock price and reduce volatility.
