SunOpta STKL surges 6.40% on upgraded fiscal 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook

SunOpta Inc. (STKL) surged 6.4% in pre-market trading on January 14, 2026, following an upgraded fiscal 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook. The company revised its revenue guidance to $816–818 million, up from $812–816 million, and expects adjusted EBITDA of $94–95 million, exceeding the prior range of $90–92 million. This reflects approximately 13% revenue growth and 6–7% adjusted EBITDA growth compared to fiscal 2024.

CEO Brian Kocher attributed the stronger-than-expected performance to improved results in November and December, which offset challenges in October. The revised outlook reinforces confidence in the company’s 2026 guidance, with full details to be shared in early March alongside Q4 and fiscal 2025 results. SunOpta will also present at the 2026 ICR Conference in January, highlighting its strategic momentum in the plant-based food and beverage sector.

With revenue guidance now set at $816–818 million and adjusted EBITDA at $94–95 million, SunOpta is demonstrating strong financial resilience. The company's strategic expansion in the plant-based food and beverage sector is expected to drive further momentum in the coming quarters.

Analysts are watching closely to see if the company can maintain this trajectory through fiscal 2026, particularly as it relates to its broader market positioning in the plant-based food and beverage industry. The upcoming Q4 and fiscal 2025 earnings report will be a key milestone for SunOpta and for investors assessing the company’s long-term potential.

As SunOpta moves forward with its strategic initiatives, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging trends in the food and beverage industry. Investors will continue to monitor key performance indicators and guidance updates in the months leading up to its full 2026 guidance release in early March.
