    Central Garden & Pet Company: No Sales Growth In Sight

    2025-08-07 13:49:23

    Central Garden & Pet Company has turned towards a multi-year revenue decline. The recent Q3 report still showed significant weakness without a sales turnaround in sight. The Cost and Simplicity program is improving efficiency, boosting CENTA's margins to a new high despite slow sales. Yet, sales growth remains critical over the long term. I estimate CENTA stock to have a fair value of $38.1.
