Not rated: only 2 valuation models apply; a rating needs 3.

Valuation models

We value Utz Brands, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.42 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$8.1 ~$8.5–$14 Primary model, counts double
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. ~$2.0 ~$0.7–$3.8 Left out: out of range vs price (0.14x)
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$0.2 ~$0.1–$0.2 Left out: out of range vs price (0.01x)
Forward price-to-sales vs peers Next year's consensus sales per share times peers' typical forward price-to-sales; only when earnings are negative. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$4.5 ~$7.4–$20 Included, half weight
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow after stock pay, grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. — Does not apply: Noncontrolling ownership is material. Its fair value and share of cash flow must be valued separately; a book-value deduction is insufficient.
Growth cash-flow model Revenue for this year and next from analysts' consensus, then growth fading to 2.5%; the operating margin moving to profitable peers'; investment needed per dollar of growth from peers; reduced by a failure probability. For young or fast-growing companies. The starting margin is normalized to between -100% and 60%; net margin is a proxy when operating income is not tagged. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. — Does not apply: Noncontrolling ownership is material. Its fair value and share of cash flow must be valued separately; a book-value deduction is insufficient.
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. — Does not apply: Noncontrolling ownership is material. Its fair value and share of cash flow must be valued separately; a book-value deduction is insufficient.
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (forward price-to-earnings vs peers) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$7.4 ~$4.5–$8.1 2 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Utz Brands, Inc. with Packaged Foods & Meats in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

18 /100

Weak moat

How hard Utz Brands's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 6 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 0.7% of total assets over 5 years.

  • Pricing power 8 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 28.4%, moving by 4.4 percentage points (standard deviation) across 6 years.

  • Durability 0 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 1.1%; its worst year was -1.8%.

  • Cash conversion 6 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 5 years, at a median 0.9% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.
