S&W Seed Company (SANW) has amended its credit agreement with Mountain Ridge, securing additional revolving loans to cover operational expenses. The company also made significant leadership changes, including the termination of its CEO, and is exploring strategic alternatives such as asset sales or potential bankruptcy due to financial challenges [1].

On June 18, 2025, S&W Seed Company amended its credit agreement with Mountain Ridge, securing additional revolving loans to cover operational expenses. The company also made significant leadership changes, including the termination of its CEO, and is exploring strategic alternatives such as asset sales or potential bankruptcy due to financial challenges [2].

The most recent analyst rating on SANW stock is a Buy with a $35.00 price target [2]. The stock has been volatile, with trading temporarily halted due to volatility on June 19, 2025 [3].

S&W Seed Company operates in the agricultural industry, focusing on the development, production, and sale of seeds. The company has faced challenges due to tariffs on US sorghum exports to China, which have disrupted the market and led to increased inventories and lower farm gate prices [3].

Despite these challenges, the company reported its first positive adjusted EBITDA quarter in many years, indicating improved financial performance. The company also successfully completed the voluntary plan of administration for its S&W Seed Company Australia unit, releasing it from inter-company obligations and a $15 million Australian guarantee [3].

S&W Seed Company is focused on high-margin products like the Double Team Sorghum Solutions and Prussic acid-free sorghum, which are gaining market share. The company secured a $25 million working capital facility, enhancing its financial flexibility and supporting its strategic initiatives [3].

However, the company expects a negative adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year, reflecting the financial strain from the tariff situation. The uncertainty in the sorghum market due to tariffs has affected the company's strategic review process and potential interest from parties [3].

Investors and analysts will be closely monitoring S&W Seed Company once trading resumes to understand the factors contributing to the volatility. The company's stock has significant upside potential, with an average target price of $25.00 and an estimated GF Value of $7.04 in one year [3].
