Analysts

Freshpet Inc. (NASDAQ:FRPT) reported better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter on Monday.

Net sales rose 12.5% year-over-year to $264.7 million but missed the analyst estimate of $268.9 million. Sales growth was driven by a 10.8% increase in volume and a 1.7% improvement in price and mix.
