Its extensive distribution network caters to a broad customer base, encompassing retail grocery, foodservice, club stores, mass merchandisers, food distributors, and wholesale clients worldwide.
Operating through two primary segments, Grown and Prepared, Calavo Growers has developed a robust business model that enables it to source, market, and distribute its products effectively. The companys commitment to quality and innovation is reflected in its diverse product portfolio and branding strategies, which have contributed to its market presence and customer loyalty.

Analyzing the companys technical data, we observe that the stock has been trading around its 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA20 and SMA50), indicating a stable short-term trend. The 200-day simple moving average (SMA200) is significantly lower, suggesting a potential long-term uptrend. The Average True Range (ATR) is relatively low, indicating moderate volatility. Considering the fundamental data, Calavo Growers market capitalization stands at approximately $494.98 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 35.13 and a forward P/E of 18.35, indicating a relatively high valuation. However, the companys return on equity (RoE) is relatively modest at 5.12%.
Based on the technical and fundamental data, our forecast suggests that Calavo Growers is likely to experience a moderate increase in stock price in the short term, driven by its stable trend and relatively low volatility. The companys strong brand presence, diverse product portfolio, and expanding distribution network are expected to contribute to its revenue growth. However, the high P/E ratio and modest RoE may limit the stocks upside potential. We predict that the stock price will reach $30.00 within the next 6-12 months, representing a potential upside of around 11.5% from the current price of $26.89.
