Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund Eric Mintz, Christopher Sassouni, David Cavanaugh | “BellRing produces and sells protein-based nutritional beverages and bars for health- and fitness-oriented consumers. The stock delivered lackluster performance as guidance for the upcoming quarter came in below expectations. We feel the slower growth rate is temporary and a reflection of inventory adjustments at the company's warehouse club channel partners, and not a sign of more pervasive slowing at BellRing or in the protein shake category. BSD Analysis: BellRing is a pure-play on the booming protein shake and nutrition category, with Premier Protein leading the charge. The company benefits from strong brand loyalty, mass retail distribution, and a category growing faster than most packaged-food segments. Supply-chain disruptions and recall issues are largely behind it, restoring margin momentum. Protein continues to penetrate mainstream consumers who view shakes as convenient meal alternatives. BellRing's asset-light model generates strong cash flow that can be reinvested in marketing and innovation. Pricing power remains strong as consumers prioritize health and convenience. This is a growth CPG story hiding inside a sector usually known for sluggish trends.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
