Additional 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 the price slipped to a 52-week and multi-year low. This well-timed insider buying suggests strong internal confidence in the company's long-term trajectory. Trading around $10, UTZ shares are near levels not seen since before the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's size has roughly doubled since then, which makes the current price look highly discounted. If the stock returned to pre-pandemic valuation levels, it could rise by 100% or more.

UTZ stock trades at roughly 10 times projected 2025 earnings — a low multiple for the consumer staples sector. Longer-term forecasts point to a mid-single-digit multiple, supporting the case for significant 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, increasing insider ownership to about 15%. Institutional investors, which own a large portion of the float, resumed buying in Q3 after earlier selling and appear positioned to continue building exposure given the stock's attractive 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 pace through the middle of the next decade. Key drivers include geographic expansion — such as the recent decision to expand 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 staples companies. Its portfolio of known brands would benefit from a larger acquirer's distribution network, and a deal could unlock cost savings for both parties. Potential buyers include Hostess and PepsiCo, the current market leader in salty snacks. The Q3 earnings results reinforced the investment case. 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 ratio is roughly 30% of projected earnings, earnings growth is incorporated in forecasts, and the balance sheet is healthy. Highlights at the end of Q3 included increased debt that was offset by asset gains and relatively low leverage, with total liabilities running just over 1.5 times equity. The company has raised the payout each year since its initial public offering (IPO) and has achieved an aggressive 35% distribution CAGR through 2025. Utz Brands: Can Its Share Price Rebound? Despite insider confidence and improving fundamentals, UTZ shares remain stagnant, hovering near $10. That reflects a broader absence of near-term catalysts. The next earnings release or macroeconomic shifts — such as interest-rate cuts or easing recession fears — could trigger a recovery. If the Federal Reserve begins cutting rates as expected and the U.S. avoids a recession, Utz stock could benefit from a sector-wide revaluation. Until then, the stock will likely trade sideways, presenting an entry point for long-term investors seeking value, income, and moderate growth.
