Pricing Pressures Unlikely to Ease Quickly, but Lamb Weston Should Benefit From a Cyclical Recovery
Business Strategy and Outlook
Lamb Weston is North America’s largest frozen potato producer (more than 40% share), followed by McCain Foods (30%), J.R. Simplot (20%), and Cavendish Farms (7%-8%), though it trails McCain globally. The firm primarily sells French fries to restaurants. Despite the current supply-demand imbalance, we view frozen processed potatoes as positioned for cyclical recovery.
