Further Reading from MarketBeat.com Utz Insiders Signal Value With November BuysWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 11/10/2025. 
Key Points - Utz Brands insiders bought shares in a conspicuous vote of confidence, even as the shares traded at long-term lows.
- Analysts and institutions signal deep value in this stock.
- The dividend is reliable and growing, expected to increase at a modest double-digit pace for the foreseeable future.
Utz (NYSE: UTZ) insiders conspicuously purchased nearly $600,000 in shares of company stock in early November as its price retreated to a 52-week and multi-year low. That well-timed insider activity suggests strong internal confidence in the company's long-term trajectory. At about $10, UTZ shares are trading near levels not seen since before the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's size has roughly doubled since then, making the current price look highly discounted. If the stock returned to pre-pandemic valuation levels, it could rise by 100% or more. Attractive Valuation Points to Long-Term Upside A strange chasm is coming to Wall Street...
It's already creating millionaires and billionaires at the fastest pace in history. CNBC calls it "the largest wealth creation spree in history." Yet 1 in 3 Americans now fear their financial situation is deteriorating. There's only one way to survive, says the man who predicted 2008 and 2020, but sadly it's already too late for many. Everything you need to know is here. UTZ stock trades at roughly 10 times projected 2025 earnings, a low-end valuation on the consumer staples spectrum. Looking further out, long-term forecasts imply a mid-single-digit multiple, supporting the case for meaningful upside potential. Who bought UTZ stock in November and why? Buyers included the CEO, a director, two executive vice presidents, and a major 10% shareholder (the Utz founding family investment entity). Together they spent just under $600,000, pushing insider ownership to about 15%. Institutions, which own a large majority of the float, resumed buying in Q3 after earlier selling pressure and appear positioned to continue building exposure given the stock's compelling value, yield, and growth outlook.  Utz Brands: Slow, Steady, Profitable Growth Utz Brands' outlook anticipates gradual, steady growth and margin improvement over time. The consensus tracked by InsiderTrades forecasts a modest single-digit revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) with earnings growing at a low-double-digit rate through the middle of the next decade. Drivers include geographic expansion — including a recent decision to grow distribution in California — and deeper market penetration. The company has been gaining share in salty snacks, positioning it for sustainable growth and making it an attractive acquisition target for larger staple businesses. Its portfolio of well-known brands would benefit from a larger company's distribution network, and an acquisition could unlock cost savings. Potential buyers include Hostess and PepsiCo, the latter being the largest snack company by revenue and commanding a dominant share of the salty snack category. The Q3 earnings results validated the investment thesis. Utz posted a 3.4% revenue increase, with salty snack sales rising 5.8%. Adjusted gross margin expanded by 210 basis points, contributing to a 13.2% rise in adjusted net income, a 9.5% increase in earnings per share (EPS), and strong positive cash flow. As of mid-November, Utz Brands yields about 2.4% and pays a reliable dividend with distribution growth expected. The payout represents about 30% of expected earnings; earnings growth is in the forecast, and the balance sheet is healthy. Q3 highlights included increased debt, offset by asset gains and relatively low leverage, with total liabilities running just over 1.5 times equity. On distribution growth, the company has raised the payout each year since its IPO and has delivered an aggressive 35% compound annual growth rate in distributions through 2025. Utz Brands: Can Its Share Price Rebound? Despite insider buying and improving fundamentals, UTZ shares remain stagnant, hovering near $10, reflecting a broader lack of near-term catalysts. The next earnings release or macro shifts — such as interest-rate cuts or easing recession fears — could spark a recovery. If the Federal Reserve proceeds with rate reductions as expected and the U.S. avoids a recession, Utz stock could benefit from a sector-wide revaluation. Until then, the stock may trade sideways, offering an entry point for long-term investors focused on value, income, and moderate growth.
