Zacks Research downgraded The Vita Coco Company from strong buy to hold on September 21, 2026, while second-quarter revenue grew 28.10 percent year over year. The rating change contrasts with operating figures that exceeded the consensus benchmark.

Rating turns more cautious

As MarketBeat reported on September 23, 2026, Zacks Research cut Vita Coco from strong buy to hold. Wall Street Zen also moved its rating to hold, creating a clear counterweight to the broader analyst view.

MarketBeat reported that ten analysts held a Moderate Buy consensus on October 1, 2026, with eight buy ratings and two hold ratings. The average 12-month price target was USD 76.86, while Piper Sandler had reduced its target from USD 89.00 to USD 83.00 on September 10, 2026.

Revenue and earnings beat estimates

The Vita Coco Company reported USD 216.15 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 168.76 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Net profit reached USD 49.45 million, versus USD 22.91 million a year earlier, according to Markets Insider on September 21, 2026.

MarketBeat said adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.82, above the USD 0.56 consensus estimate, while the company posted a 15.50 percent net margin. The revenue result also exceeded the USD 210.64 million consensus estimate, giving investors a quantified reason to separate the rating downgrade from the latest operating performance.
