Share price +23.3% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 45% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($47.03). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (44/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • A fairly wide model range ($18.21 to $47.03) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Freshpet, Inc (FRPT) currently trades at $66.91, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $36.65, implying the stock looks roughly 45.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Freshpet, Inc generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 17.6%. Revenue grew 13.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.3%. Net debt stands at $282M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $18.21 (bear case) to $47.03 (bull case); at $66.91, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Analysts expect earnings well below the last reported figure (earnings in transition, for example expiring patents or contracts); a fair value that looks fair on trailing earnings may then be too optimistic. The share trades about 22% below its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -45%, FRPT screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
