The case for and against

Updated Sep 1, 2026

Bull case

Westrock Coffee is expected to experience strong growth in the future, with a projected increase in EBITDA of 35% on a 2-year CAGR basis through 2027. This growth will be supported by the completion of its Conway facility build-out, which will enable the company to service a broader range of products and improve profitability through capacity optimization. Additionally, the company's improving balance sheet and focus on cost management are expected to drive positive free cash flow by late 2026. Despite recent contract losses, Westrock is confident in its ability to replenish volume and grow its business, which will also be supported by expansion into new categories and potential acquisitions. As such, the company's strong financial performance and growth potential make it an attractive investment opportunity.

Bear case

Westrock Coffee is a well-positioned coffee and tea company, with a focus on high-growth areas such as single-cup and ready-to-drink/cold-brew coffee products. However, the company's FY2026 guidance reflects a decline in EBITDA due to lost single-serve volume and slower customer transition. While the decrease in scale-up costs and optimization efforts may lead to margin expansion and lower costs, there are still risks such as elevated capital spending and potential foodservice weakness that could impact the company's future performance. Therefore, we have a negative outlook on the stock.
