Narrative Update on Vita Coco Company The analyst price target for Vita Coco has moved from US$55.44 to US$58.00, as analysts factor in tariff relief on coconut water, a lower expected average tariff rate into 2026, improved long term profit margin assumptions, and a slightly adjusted future P/E outlook supported by recent upgrades and higher outer year earnings estimates.
