Peel Hunt has upgraded Cranswick PLC from 'add' to 'buy' and increased its price target from 6,100p to 6,600p, noting the stock's recent unjustified decline despite strong business performance. The broker expects around 6% volume growth and 8% profit before tax growth in the first half, driven by fresh food customer growth and market share gains. Cranswick's strong return on capital employed and attractive valuation multiples support the upgrade. Additionally, potential expansion plans, including a significant investment in Grimsby to nearly double poultry processing capacity, add to the positive outlook.
Cranswick's recent upgrade and target price increase come as context for Consumer Staples-sector activity on Pluang.
