By GlobalDataChobani is the largest Greek yoghurt producer in the US by sales and has led the growth of the category in recent years. However, last month analysts at Sanford Bernstein claimed Chobani was losing market share at the expense of Danone.
Chobani is still seeing sales increase but not as quickly as its French rival but Sanford Bernstein believed the company could bounce back as it expands capacity.
“We believe that it will regain momentum given increased capacity and more tactical use of promo going forward,” the analysts wrote.
In an interview with Reuters, Chobani founder and chief executive Hamdi Ulukaya said he was not interested in selling the business but he did not take a possible IPO off the table.
