Reuters, October 6 - Lamb Weston (LW.N) raised its annual sales and profit forecasts on Tuesday, basing this decision on robust expected demand from its key clients—fast food restaurants—for its frozen potato products. As inflationary pressures intensify and household budgets become increasingly constrained, consumer demand continues to rise for lower-priced menu items such as fries at restaurants. Details are as follows: Lamb Weston expects fiscal 2027 revenue to achieve low single-digit growth, compared to its previous forecast of flat to 1% growth. According to data compiled by LSEG, analysts had previously expected revenue to decline by 1.5%. The company raised its adjusted annual earnings per share forecast to $3.05–$3.35, up from its prior range of $2.95–$3.25. Its adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter were $0.75, exceeding the analysts’ average estimate of $0.59 per share. Quarterly revenue rose 1% year-on-year to $1.67 billion, surpassing the expected $1.65 billion. Lamb Weston’s clients include fast-food operators such as McDonald’s (MCD.N). The company stated it is facing unexpected inflationary pressures in raw material and transportation costs, and plans to address these challenges through cooperation with suppliers and hedging activities. Shares of the fries manufacturer have risen about 6% this year and were up roughly 4% in pre-market trading following the earnings release.
