Oatly Group's Path to Profitability: A Buy Rating with Positive EBITDA and Cash Flow Outlook

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Sometimes, even the most boring stocks hold big potential. Look at plant-based <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-staples/food/">food stocks</a>, for example.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While these may not be the most exciting stocks, statistics point to strong future growth. Younger generations, including Generation Z, just saw a five percentage-point increase in their adoption of plant-based food since 2021. All of which presents &ldquo;a significant opportunity for sustainable food brands,&rdquo; <a href="https://trellis.net/article/study-younger-generations-drive-consumption-plant-based-food-while-baby-boomers-lag-behind/">as noted by <em>Trellis.net</em></a>.</p>



<p>In addition, according to <a href="https://blog.brightfieldgroup.com/gen-z-shifts-away-from-meat-and-dairy">analysts at the <em>Brightfield Group</em></a>, &ldquo;Gen Z is opting for plant-based dairy alternatives such as oat milk, plant-based ice cream, pea milk and soy milk. They do not appear to be adopting plant-based meat replacements with the same enthusiasm.&rdquo;</p>



<p>With stats pointing to further growth, <a href="https://www.sphericalinsights.com/press-release/vegan-food-market">analysts at Spherical Insights</a> say the global plant-based market could be worth about $55.84 billion by 2033 from $23.73 billion today.</p>



<p>That being said, investors may want to keep an eye on plant-based food stocks, such as:</p>



<h2>Oatly (OTLY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/otly-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="otly stock Rolled oats or oat flakes in bowl with wooden spoons"><div>Source: Vladislav Noseek / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Look at oat milk stocks, like <strong>Oatly</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/otly-stock-quote/"><strong>OTLY</strong></a></span>).</p>



<p>For one, earnings are improving. Its <a href="https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2024/07/24/oatly-group-ab-otly-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcri/">earnings per share loss of five cents</a>, for example, beat estimates by two cents. Revenue of $202.2 million, up 3.2% year-over-year, beat by $910,000. It also raised its full-year outlook for revenue growth to a new range of 6% to 10% from 5% to 10%. It also expects to post an EBITDA loss of $35 million to $50 million, which is slightly better than its prior calls for a loss of $35 million to $60 million.</p>



<p>Two, the plant-based drink is popular. In fact, over the last year, U.S. retail sales jumped to $695 million (28% growth), <a href="https://ambrook.com/research/supply-chain/oat-shortage-milk-demands">according to Ambrook.com</a>. Demand for oat milk is also up in grocery stores, where it held a 24% share of the retail plant-based milk market in 2023.&nbsp;</p>



<p>That being said, OTLY could push higher over the long haul.</p>



<h2>Ingredion (INGR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ingredion-ingr-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Ingredion Canada Inc head office in Brampton, Ontario, Canada"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>While <strong>Ingredion</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ingr-stock-quote/"><strong>INGR</strong></a></span>) isn&rsquo;t one of the pure play plant-based food stocks, it has been increasing its plant-based offerings, including patties, seafood and chicken. And it carries a healthy dividend of 2.43% and just recently paid out a quarterly dividend of 78 cents.</p>



<p>Earnings have also been okay. Its EPS of $2.87 beat by 38 cents. Revenue of $1.88 billion did miss by $100 million, though. INGR also raised its full-year EPS guidance to a new range of $10.20 to $10.70, and also raised its adjusted EPS range to $9.70 to $10.20.</p>



<p>Plus, <a href="https://ir.ingredionincorporated.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ingredion-completes-reorganization-reports-first-quarter">as noted in a recent press release</a>, the company expects to deploy cash towards organic investments, dividends and share buybacks. </p>



<p>However, despite recent positives, I&rsquo;d wait for the stock to cool off a bit. At the moment, it&rsquo;s technically stretched at $128.19. It&rsquo;s also overbought on RSI, MACD and Williams&rsquo; %R. So, I&rsquo;d wait for it to pullback a bit before taking a long position.</p>



<h2>Bunge (BG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bunge_bg_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A Photo of a blue sign in an industrial campus showing the Bunge (BG) logo. Plant-based food stocks"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p>With <strong>Bunge</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bg-stock-quote/"><strong>BG</strong></a></span>), I&rsquo;d use recent weakness as a buying opportunity.</p>



<p>Thanks to a massive pullback in the broader market, BG slipped from about $115 to a recent low of $96. Here, it&rsquo;s also wildly oversold on RSI, MACD and Williams&rsquo; %R. From here, I&rsquo;d like to see it refill its bearish gap at around $115 near term.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s also not a plant-based pure play, but it does offer the ingredients used in meat and dairy alternatives. Plus, it carries a healthy dividend yield of 2.84%, which we can collect while waiting for the eventual recovery in the Bunge stock.</p>



<p>We also have to consider that BG has priced in a good deal of weakness, including the overall market decline, the <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4132416-bunge-downgraded-at-citi-on-biofuels-weakness-viterra-doubts">Citi analyst downgrade on biofuels weakness</a> and the delay of its $8.2 billion acquisition of Viterra.&nbsp;</p>



<p>That being said, take advantage of BG weakness and collect its yield while you wait.</p>

What Are the Hottest Plant-Based Food Stocks Right Now? 3 Top Picks.

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Since I&rsquo;m severely lactose, I eat many plant-based foods and drink many plant-based beverages. The data suggests that many other Americans, whether because of lactose intolerance or for other reasons, eat plant-based foods and drink plant-based beverages. Indeed, &ldquo;The (United States) plant-based food <a href="https://gfi.org/marketresearch/">market surged from</a> $3.9 billion in 2017 to $8.1 billion in 2023,&rdquo; according to <em>Good Food Institute</em>. With so many interested customers, plant-based <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-staples/food/">food stocks</a> are a solid buy. </p>



<p>The institute pointed out that the growth was spurred &ldquo;by products that appeal to mainstream consumers by mimicking the taste, texture, and functionality of conventional animal products.&rdquo; Meanwhile, according to <em>Statista</em>, worldwide sales of <a href="https://www.statista.com/forecasts/877369/global-meat-substitutes-market-value">plant-based meat alone</a> are expected to surge from $10.15 billion in 2023 to $16.78 billion in 2028. For investors who want to profit from the latter trend, here are three growing plant-based <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-staples/food/">food stocks</a> to buy now.</p>



<h2>Oatly (OTLY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/otly-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="otly stock Rolled oats or oat flakes in bowl with wooden spoons"><div>Source: Vladislav Noseek / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Oatly </strong>(NASDAQ: <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/otly-stock-quote/"><strong>OTLY</strong></a>) specializes in making oat-based milk, although it has also branched out to desserts, yogurts, and whipped cream.</p>



<p>Last quarter, in a very encouraging development, the company <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4127401-oatly-rallies-after-posting-its-first-positive-adjusted-ebitda-quarter-for-north-america">reported its first-ever</a> positive EBITDA, excluding certain items, in North America. Moreover, its overall revenue climbed 3.9%, excluding currency changes, versus the same period a year earlier. The latter increase was driven partly by a year-over-year surge of 9.6% in sales volumes, as measured in total liters. Furthermore, the firm expects its revenue growth to come in at 5% to 10% for the full year. Finally, Oatly&rsquo;s gross margin jumped to 29% last quarter from 19.2% in Q2 of 2023.</p>



<p>Also positively, Oatly gave a major update on its Q2 earnings<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4706305-oatly-group-ab-otly-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcript"> call last month</a>. The company had received &ldquo;positive test results with China&rsquo;s largest coffee chain.&rdquo; The statement, which likely refers to <strong>Luckin Coffee</strong> (OTC:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lkncy-stock-quote/"><strong>LKNCY</strong></a>), suggests that Oatly may benefit over the longer term from being utilized by many of Luckin&rsquo;s customers.</p>



<p>Since Luckin <a href="https://www.worldcoffeeportal.com/Latest/News/2024/May/Luckin-Coffee-surpasses-18,500-stores-in-China-but">had 18,500 stores</a>, such a development could very well be needle movers for Oatly and OTLY stock.</p>



<p>All of this positive news makes Oatly one of the best plant-based food stocks to buy now.</p>



<h2>Ingredion (INGR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ingredion-ingr-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Ingredion Canada Inc head office in Brampton, Ontario, Canada"><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Ingredion</strong> 9NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ingr-stock-quote/"><strong>INGR</strong></a>) <a href="https://foodinstitute.com/focus/ten-vegan-food-and-beverage-stocks-to-watch/">provides &ldquo;essential plant-based </a>proteins, starches, texturizers, and other vital ingredients for vegan manufacturers,&rdquo; The Food Institute explained. The company&rsquo;s Ultra Performance line contains<a href="https://www.ingredion.com/na/en-us/news-events/news/ingredion-wins-2022-world-plant-based-award.html"> up to 60% plant protein.</a> It also improves the taste and texture of many foods, including plant-based food and beverages, the company reported in 2022. It accomplishes the latter goal by &ldquo;using pea protein without the raw plant flavor,&rdquo; Ingredion explained.</p>



<p>Ingredion&rsquo;s earnings per share, excluding certain items, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4134628-ingredion-non-gaap-eps-of-2_87-beats-0_38-revenue-of-1_88b-misses-100m">surged 24% </a>last quarter versus the same period a year earlier. Also positively, its sales volumes increased 5% year-over-year, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4711008-ingredion-incorporated-ingr-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcript">excluding the impact of</a> the divestment of its South Korean business. The firm raised its 2024 adjusted EPS guidance to $9.70- $10.20 from $9.20-$9.85 previously. The  Texture and Healthful Solutions Unit <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4711008-ingredion-incorporated-ingr-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcript">includes dairy alternatives </a>and products used to improve the texture of meat alternatives. Their volumes climbed an impressive 8% YOY.</p>



<p>The company has launched two plant-based products this year which I believe have a great deal of potential. First, its Clean Taste Solubility Solution is over <a href="https://www.ingredion.com/na/en-us/news-events/news/breakthrough-ingredion-stevia-solution-unmatched-in-consumer-testing.html">100 times more </a>soluble than standard stevia. It also tastes better than &ldquo;artificial sweeteners and other stevia ingredients&rdquo; in consumer testing, according to the firm. The product also &rdquo;&nbsp;enables 100% sugar reduction, and is ideal for use in beverages, fruit preps, syrups, liquid concentrates, bars and sauces,&rdquo; Ingredion stated.</p>



<p>Secondly, the firm unveiled <a href="https://www.ingredion.com/na/en-us/news-events/news/new-pea-protein-launched-to-maintain-softness-throughout-shelf-l.html">a pea protein product</a> that it says will better preserve protein bars than the plant proteins that are commonly used to preserve them.</p>



<h2>Sweetgreen (SG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/sg-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The front of a Sweetgreen (SG) store in Arlington, Virginia."><div>Source: melissamn / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Sweetgreen</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sg-stock-quote/"><strong>SG</strong></a>), a restaurant chain <a href="https://thebeet.com/whats-vegan-at-sweetgreen/">that specializes in serving salads</a>, is not completely vegan. Unsurprisingly, it does enable vegans and vegetarians to order a wide array of completely plant-based dishes such as Shroomami. </p>



<p>Other offerings from the company include Guacamole Greens (without chicken) and Curry Cauliflower (without chicken). Given the huge number of vegetables and completely plant-based sauces and dressings that the firm offers, I think chances are high that many U.S. vegans and vegetarians eat there frequently.</p>



<p>In Q2, the company&rsquo;s revenue<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/pr/19813402-sweetgreen-inc-announces-second-quarter-2024-financial-results?source=section%253Amain_content%257Cbutton%253Abody_link%257Cfirst_level_url%253Anews#hasComeFromMpArticle=false"> jumped 21% versus the same</a> period a year earlier to $184.6 million, while its same-store sales surged 9% year-over-year. Moreover, its EBITDA, excluding certain items, came in at $12.4 million, up from $3.3 in million in Q2 of 2023.</p>



<p>In light of Sweetgreen&rsquo;s rapid growth and its high appeal to vegans and vegetarians, I view it as one of the best plant-based food stocks to buy now.</p>

3 Plant-Based Food Stocks with Potential for Market Expansion

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>A few years ago, venture capital poured a lot of money into the plant-based foods market. </p>



<p>At the time, the possibilities seemed bright. Particularly with younger more health-conscious consumers, it seemed like &ldquo;better for you&rdquo; foods could take major market share.</p>



<p>However, fast-forward to 2024, and adoption has been much slower than anticipated. Major fast-food chains have started to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-26/mcdonald-s-says-plant-based-test-in-two-key-us-cities-failed">give up on vegan burgers</a> after unsuccessful product tests, and sales momentum has slowed at grocery stores as well.</p>



<p>Be it the high cost of plant-based foods in these inflationary times, perceived inferior taste and texture, or simply consumer indifference, plant-based foods have failed to revolutionize the packaged foods industry so far. These three plant-based <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-staples/food/">food stocks</a> to sell are in particular trouble.</p>



<h2>Beyond Meat (BYND)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bynd1600-1-1-300x169.png" alt="Editorial photo on Beyond Meat (BYND) theme. Illustrative photo for news about Beyond Meat - a producer of plant-based meat substitutes. BYND stock"><div>Source: photo_gonzo / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Beyond Meat</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/"><strong>BYND</strong></a></span>) stock is back on traders&rsquo; radars. Last week, shares popped from around $5.25 to more than $6/share following the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://investorplace.com/earning-results/2024/08/bynd-stock-earnings-beyond-meat-for-q2-of-2024/">earnings report</a>. That&rsquo;s not too unusual.</p>



<p>What happened next, however, was bizarre. On Friday, shares with no reported news skyrocketed from $6 to $9 within an hour. Almost as soon as it happened, it was over. BYND stock crashed back to $6.39 by the end of the day and closed the session in the red despite the earlier 40% rally.</p>



<p>Beyond Meat&rsquo;s earnings weren&rsquo;t awful &mdash; the company shrunk its operating loss, and results were roughly in line with expectations. However, the business continues to shrink. Revenues of $93.2 million fell sharply year-over-year from 2023&rsquo;s $102.2 million over the same period.</p>



<p>Even in a time of elevated inflation, Beyond Meat seems unable to increase product pricing without losing customer interest. This speaks to a weak brand struggling to hold shelf space in a crowded protein marketplace.</p>



<p>BYND stock has been volatile recently. However, the business&rsquo; trajectory continues to be steadily downward and traders should get off this ride while they can.</p>



<h2>Oatly (OTLY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/otly-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="otly stock Rolled oats or oat flakes in bowl with wooden spoons"><div>Source: Vladislav Noseek / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>One of the most active parts of the alternative food space has been in the race to supplant cow&rsquo;s milk. In recent years, we&rsquo;ve seen strong marketing drives behind almond, soy, rice, coconut, hemp and pea milks.</p>



<p>And that&rsquo;s even before getting to <strong>Oatly</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/otly-stock-quote/"><strong>OTLY</strong></a></span>) and its oat-based alternative. The company was founded in the 1990s and markets itself as the original oat drink superior to animal-based milks. However, its nutritional data shows that Oatly contains much more sugar than protein, leading some nutritionists to question how much healthier oat drinks are versus cow milk.</p>



<p>In any case, Oatly has struggled to find a consistent market. In 2021, the company announced big partnerships, such as bringing Oatly to <strong>Starbucks</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sbux-stock-quote/"><strong>SBUX</strong></a></span>) stores nationwide.</p>



<p>However, the firm&rsquo;s revenue growth dramatically tailed off in 2022. Meanwhile, it continues to run massive operating losses. Oat milk has to compete with all the other plant-based milk within the oat space versus cheaper store-branded alternatives. All this makes Oatly&rsquo;s future incredibly challenging.</p>



<h2>Calavo Growers (CVGW)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/calavo-cvgw-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Calavo Growers branded Mexican avocados in a supermarket in New York"><div>Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Unlike the other two names here, <strong>Calavo Growers</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cvgw-stock-quote/"><strong>CVGW</strong></a></span>) isn&rsquo;t quite a pure-play plant-based foods stock. The company wasn&rsquo;t created to displace an existing animal food commodity.</p>



<p>That said, Calavo&rsquo;s core market, avocados, has emerged as a leading health food item&mdash;particularly for younger consumers. It&rsquo;s no coincidence that avocado toast became the touchstone item for what millennial eaters were spending their incomes on.</p>



<p>In any case, Calavo&rsquo;s avocados and other fresh fruits and vegetables are a nice alternative for folks looking to reduce or entirely stop their consumption of animal foods.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, a good nutritious trend isn&rsquo;t necessarily a good investment. CVGW stock has slumped in recent years amid disruptions in a key avocado-growing region of Mexico. These issues appear to be <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/02/us-news/mexican-cartel-violence-could-drive-up-prices-of-avocados-in-the-us/">getting worse</a>, not better, which could further hamper Calavo&rsquo;s profit margins.</p>



<p>Calavo&rsquo;s revenues slumped from $1.19 billion in 2022 to an estimated $644 million this year, a massive decline. Thus, CVGW stock looks like a value trap, given the uncertainty in its business model and issues in the avocado supply chain.</p>
