Why the latest earnings and buyback matter for Village Farms International (VFF)

Village Farms International (NasdaqCM:VFF) has drawn fresh attention after reporting fourth quarter and full year 2025 results that show net income for both periods, alongside completion of a US$2.98 million share repurchase program.

Despite turning net income positive for both the quarter and full year and completing the US$2.98 million buyback, Village Farms International’s recent momentum has cooled. The 7 day share price return is 22.66% and the 90 day share price return is 34.69% from the current US$2.73 level, even as the 1 year total shareholder return sits at a very large gain and the 3 year total shareholder return remains up around 3x, against a weaker 5 year total shareholder return.

With Village Farms now reporting net income of US$32.44 million on US$215.94 million in sales, a value score of 6, and trading at US$2.73 with an 85% intrinsic discount, is this a genuine opportunity, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 44.5% Undervalued

With Village Farms International last closing at $2.73 against a narrative fair value of $4.92, the valuation gap is built on specific growth and margin expectations rather than short term trading swings.

The rapid scaling of international cannabis exports, particularly driven by strong demand in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands, indicates Village Farms is capitalizing on expanding global legalization, supporting future revenue growth and improving earnings visibility.

Conversion of existing greenhouse assets (such as the Delta 2 facility and expansion in the Netherlands) into cannabis cultivation at low incremental investment reflects both operational efficiency and increasing addressable market, setting the company up for margin expansion and top line growth as these assets come online.

The core of this valuation story is simple, yet ambitious. It leans on a specific path for revenue, a sharp shift in profit margins, and a future earnings base that has to justify today’s discount rate. Curious which of those levers carries the most weight in the fair value calculation and how much improvement is baked in at each step of the model? The full narrative lays out those assumptions line by line.

The narrative uses a 6.978% discount rate and ties Village Farms International’s fair value of $4.92 to detailed views on international cannabis exports, greenhouse conversion and long term profitability, rather than current headline multiples or recent share price swings. In other words, the 44.5% discount is not just about today’s earnings. It rests on a view of what the business could earn on a larger, more profitable revenue base several years out.

Result: Fair Value of $4.92 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this story still hinges on international cannabis regulations staying supportive and on Canadian retail conditions not worsening from already pressured supply and demand imbalances.
