Things To Note

Post Holdings has been battling inflation challenges related to higher raw material, freight and manufacturing costs. The company is battling supply-chain challenges due to labor shortages, input and freight inflation and other supply-chain hurdles, such as input availability. Moreover, the Ukraine war has elevated inflationary headwinds. The persistence of these factors is likely to have been a threat to Post Holdings’ performance in third-quarter fiscal 2022.

That said, Post Holdings is benefiting from a recovery in the Foodservice business. The company’s strategic pricing actions are yielding. Also, focus on prudent acquisitions is acting as an upside.
