The raised guidance and strong organic growth (18% ex-Copra) signal sustained momentum, but the Q4 gross margin guide of ~33% (down from 38% in Q3) due to cost headwinds warrants monitoring. Watch for tariff developments and price actions in early 2027 that could protect margins.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
The Vita Coco Company reported Q3 2026 EPS of $0.58, beating consensus of $0.53 by 9.4%, on net sales of $244M, which exceeded the $230.1M estimate. The company raised its full-year 2026 net sales guidance to $810-820M and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $170-175M, driven by strong branded retail growth and the Copra acquisition. Despite the beat and raise, the stock has historically underperformed following bullish reports, warranting a tempered impact score.
