With a focus on convenience, nutrition, and sustainability, this ready-to-cook meal service has grown to a hefty $3 billion market cap, and currently operates in 13 countries.

Why we’re watching:

• At present, only 3 analysts issue ratings for Nomad Foods stock — however, they’re among the highest-rated analysts on Wall Street. As for the ratings themselves, we’re looking at 2 Strong Buys and 1 Buy. See the ratings
• That 1 Buy came from John Baumgartner of Mizuho (a top 9% rated analyst), who also set the Street-high price target of $26, having increased it from a prior $24 target. 
• Fun fact — Baumgartner’s price target implies a 32.52% upside — and that’s exactly the average annual return that stocks with a Zen Rating of A, like NOMD, have provided since the early 2000s.
• Barclays researcher Lauren Lieberman (a top 19% rated analyst) and Deutsche Bank’s Steve Powers (a top 10% rated analyst) issued the remaining two ratings, both of which are Strong Buys. Both of the analysts set a $23 price target, which implies a 17.58% upside from current prices. 
• So, why has Nomad Foods stock garnered the attention of some of Wall Street’s best and brightest? It ranks in the top 4% of equities on the whole, and also ranks in the top 3% according to Value and top 13% according to Sentiment. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)

2. Chewy Inc (NYSE: CHWY)

This pure-play e-commerce business soared to incredible heights during the pandemic. Chewy provides everything your pets could want for — from food, treats, and toys to medication. With that said, why might you want CHWY? In the last 365 days, the stock’s price has soared by 113.06%, and although it is exposed to some tariff risks, the company is quite well-positioned, financially speaking, to weather any emerging challenges.

Zen Rating: B (Buy) — see full analysis >  

Recent Price: $33.42 — get current quote > 

Max 1-year forecast: $47.00 

Why we’re watching:

• Chewy enjoys broad, bullish coverage from equity researchers. The stock currently has 14 ratings — 7 Strong Buys, 6 Buys, and 1 Hold. See the ratings
• Doug Anmuth of JP Morgan (a top 1% rated analyst) doubled down on a Strong Buy rating on April 8, but cut his price target from $40 to $36.
• According to JP Morgan's survey of economists, there is a 60% likelihood of a recession in 2025 and a fall in real U.S. GDP in 2H 2025, Anmuth told readers. Names associated with digital advertising, online travel, and e-commerce are the most vulnerable, the analyst said. 
• Nicholas Jones of JMP Securities (also a top 1% rated analyst) reiterated a Buy rating on April 14 and slashed his price target from $40 to $39.
• In an e-commerce sector note, Jones contextualized their price target cut on Chewy by saying that names in the group will be impacted to varying degrees by the recent tariff announcements and removal of the de minimis exception for goods from China and Hong Kong.
• Citizens JMP also sees Chewy as well-positioned because consumables and healthcare are a large percentage of its revenue, the analyst said.
• CHWY stock carries an overall Zen Rating of B, and currently ranks in the top 12% of equities.
• Chewy Shares rank highly in terms of Financials and Sentiment — in the top 8% and top 15%, to be exact. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)
