The Vita Coco Company, Inc. - $COCO
COCO (short): Short at ~$75, PT $45 (~40% downside NTM). Stock +45% on Q1 beat (rev +37% YoY) driven by WMT reset & one-offs. Bear: category/share growth overextrapolated, private label white space limited (13/14 retailers have suppliers), no moat/pricing power, El Niño to spike coconut costs (~1/3 COGS) & compress margins ~200bps in 2027. KDP distribution renewal risk June 10. Re-rate from 42x to 25x EV/EBITDA. ~2.3x R/R.
