1141 ET - As winter storms pass, and sales rebound from pantry stocking, food producers face significant headwinds, Mizuho analysts say in a research note. After a surge in sales from consumers stocking up ahead of winter storms, baking products, snacks, bread and canned meat are now seeing softness, the analysts say. Dairy is under the most pressure post-storms with a 5% decline in sales. Median pricing, meanwhile, has ticked up. The analysts expect that cuts to federal food assistance programs and larger GLP-1 adoption will continue to challenge food producers in the next year.(amira.mckee@wsj.com)
