Stifel has upgraded shares of Vital Farms (VITL) to a Buy rating from Hold, citing strong growth prospects for the egg producer. Vital Farms CEO Russell Diez-Canseco joins to discuss the company's growth outlook amid this development.

Diez-Canseco notes that since the company's IPO debut in 2020, it has "established our path to becoming America's most trusted food company." While mostly known for its eggs, Vital Farms is "bringing it to the market in a very different way than the rest of the industry."

"We're not playing a short-term game," Diez-Canseco states about the company's operations and growth strategy, adding, "We're building a brand for the long haul, and that resulted in very consistent growth with positive gross margins and profitability since the IPO."
