What the filing says
Vital Farms reported Q3 2026 net revenue of $182.2M (down 8.4% YoY) with a net loss of $6.5M vs. $16.4M profit in Q3 2025. Gross margin collapsed to 23.1% from 37.7% due to higher input costs and oversupply-driven sales to low-margin wholesale channels. The company slashed FY2026 revenue guidance to ~$730M (from $775–$800M) and swung Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a ~$15M loss (from $0–$10M profit). Management withdrew previously issued FY2030 long-term targets. Cash position is $84M; debt increased to $117.6M via a new $120.6M Silver Point term loan and $30M JPMorgan draw.
Why this rating
Revenue miss (~5.6% below midpoint), margin compression, swing to losses, and withdrawal of multiyear targets are material relative to $1.4B market cap (~2.5% revenue impact). Business trajectory clearly deteriorating.
