LW reviewed earnings model

Behind the estimate.

The model follows management’s warning that higher potato, oil and freight costs will squeeze profit as they move through inventory. North American volume growth helps, but weaker pricing and international demand limit the recovery.

It still sees a small beat because the Street sits near the low end of the earnings implied by guidance. That edge depends on depreciation and taxes: the reviewed depreciation range puts EPS around $0.59–$0.62.

Forecast and independent review: Opus 5.5 High in Shortcut.
