Freshpet Raises Full-Year Guidance Following Strong Q3 2026 Earnings
Freshpet (FRPT) reported strong third-quarter 2026 results, highlighted by an adjusted gross margin of 50%, the highest in over seven years. The company raised its full-year sales and earnings guidance, driven by improved operational efficiencies at existing manufacturing facilities and successful targeted marketing strategies. Management noted that high-value 'Most Valuable Pet-parent' (MVP) households now account for 72% of total sales, spending significantly more annually than non-MVP customers. Additionally, operational improvements have unlocked over $100 million in incremental manufacturing capacity within the existing footprint, allowing the company to scale revenue while deferring major capital expenditures.
