The Company has 1,000 acres of non-bearing lemons and avocados estimated to become full bearing over the next four to five years, which the Company expects will enable strong organic growth in the coming years. Additionally, the Company plans to continue expanding its plantings of avocados over the next three years and expects to have an increase in third-party grower lemons. The foregoing describes organic growth opportunities and does not include potential acquisition opportunities for the Company in its highly fragmented industry.
Looking ahead, we continue to see a strong EBITDA outlook that is underpinned by plans to expand avocado production by 1,000 acres through fiscal year 2027 to capitalize on robust consumer demand trends. During this transition, the Company expects fiscal year 2025 avocado volume to be lower compared to fiscal year 2024 due to the alternate bearing nature of avocado trees. These operational results do not take into account anticipated additional gains from asset monetization.

Earnings Scheduled For December 23, 2024

Limoneira Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMNR#NASDAQ">LMNR</a>) has significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36046659/why-citrus-fruits-company-limoneiras-shares-are-seeing-blue-skies-today">raised its expectations</a> on avocado volumes this year to take advantage of higher prices for the fruit.
&#8220;We now expect avocado volumes to be in the range of 14.5 million to 15.5 million pounds for fiscal year 2024 compared to previous guidance of 9 million to 10 million pounds, a more than 50% increase compared to prior guidance,&#8221; CEO Harold Edwards said on Monday during a third-quarter earnings call with analysts.
&#8220;We expect to complete the avocado harvest in the fourth quarter with approximately 4 million to 5 million pounds remaining. Keep in mind, we expect our fourth quarter to represent a record in avocado volume due to our timing and ability to hold the fruit to match a higher pricing environment.&#8221;
The company recorded $13.9 million&nbsp;of avocado revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to&nbsp;$3.5 million&nbsp;in the third quarter of last fiscal year.

About 8.86 million pounds of avocados were sold in aggregate during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 at a&nbsp;$1.57&nbsp;average price per pound, compared to approximately 2.82 million pounds sold at a&nbsp;$0.99&nbsp;average price per pound during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Limoneira posted $63.3 million in net revenue for this year&#8217;s third quarter, up from $52.5 million a year ago.
Limoneira expects to expand avocado production by 1,000 acres over the next three years to take advantage of robust consumer demand but expects volume to be lower next year as a result of the yearly alternate bearing nature of avocado trees, CFO Mark Palamountain said.
The company expects avocado pricing to be lower in 2025 despite forecasting lower volume that year, he said.
&#8220;The company believes avocado pricing may be slightly lower compared to the current year pricing environment due to international circumstances,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: Shares of Limoneira were down 3.2% to $24.20 at the time of publication Tuesday.

Argan Reports Strong Earnings, Joins Geron, Planet Labs PBC And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

Hormel Foods (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hrl#NYSE">HRL</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.35 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.40 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 8.57%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of Spam canned ham, Dinty Moore stew and other foods would post earnings of $0.34 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.41, delivering a surprise of 20.59%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Hormel, which belongs to the Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, posted revenues of $2.89 billion for the quarter ended April 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.35%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.98 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Hormel shares have added about 6.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 10.4%.
What&#39;s Next for Hormel?
While Hormel has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Hormel: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.38 on $3.01 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.59 on $12.26 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Food - Meat Products is currently in the top 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Limoneira (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lmnr#NASDAQ">LMNR</a>), another stock in the broader Zacks Consumer Staples sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2024. The results are expected to be released on June 6.
This agribusiness company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.21 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Limoneira&#39;s revenues are expected to be $54.62 million, up 13.6% from the year-ago quarter.
