S&W Seed Company (NASDAQ: SANW)‘s stock had its “outperform” rating reaffirmed by Zacks in a research note issued on Monday. They currently have a $10.00 price target on the stock.

Zacks‘ analyst wrote, “S&W Seed is a developer of drought and salt resistant alfalfa seed varieties. The company has unused processing capacity that, when utilized, provides significant operating earnings leverage. The recent addition of Round-Up Ready alfalfa seeds could have a significant impact on selling prices. The company now owns the international distributor of its seeds. S&W Seed has expanded the program to produce Stevia leaf to be used to make a natural, non-caloric sweetener. This is a rapidly growing market with a large potential for commercial development of varieties that will grow in California. The company has a five year sales contract with PureCircle, the world’s largest producer of Stevia sweeteners, for production quantities of dried Stevia leaf. Our recommendation remains as Outperform and our target price is now $10.00. .”
