Mizuho Touts BellRing Brands Inc. (BRBR) as a Top Food Stock as Bank of America Hikes Price Target

Bellring Brands Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) is one of the best cheap stocks that will skyrocket. On January 13, Mizuho touted Bellring Brands Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) as one of its top food stocks for 2026.

Even though the company faces regulatory challenges and SNAP funding reductions, Mizuho expects the company to benefit from what it describes as extreme bearishness in the stock.
