Lamb Weston Stock Surges as Potato Giant's Results Top Estimates

Lamb Weston shares jumped 9.2% this week as the potato processing giant's latest quarterly results came in above expectations.

The maker of french fries and other potato products reported fiscal third-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.10 on net sales of $1.52 billion. Analysts polled by Visible Alpha were looking for $0.86 and $1.48 billion, respectively.

"As a result of the actions we took in early fiscal 2025 to drive operational and cost efficiencies, we closed the quarter with sequentially improved volume trends and profitability metrics that were in line with our previously updated fiscal 2025 outlook," CEO Mike Smith said, noting the company expects "headwinds from soft restaurant traffic to persist."

Meanwhile, some retailers gained due to President Trump’s ‘very productive call’ with General Secretary To Lam of Vietnam and Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet. Ross gained 3.9%, while TJX Companies rose 3.3%.
