$LW LW trades at a premium to its peers because investors view it as a higher-quality, more defensible business within the food sector, driven by its leading position in frozen potato products, strong long-term relationships with large foodservice and quick-service restaurant customers, and relatively predictable demand. The market also prices in expectations of margin recovery and cash-flow improvement from cost controls, capacity optimization, and disciplined capital spending, which contrast with many peers facing slower growth, heavier brand competition, or greater commodity exposure. Together, this combination of perceived earnings stability, niche leadership, and medium-term profitability upside supports valuation multiples above the broader packaged food peer group.
