Picked up a starter position in SFM in my $100K Virtual Cash book at $49.70. Strong cash generation (ROIC 23.5%, FCF yield 10.57%) and near-maximum insider-conviction score at a single-digit P/E of 8.5.. Trading inside a $47.35–$94.89 52-week range with 10.57% FCF yield gives solid downside support if Food Chains multiples expand this quarter.
@BreakoutHunter Agree on the RQD 66/100 quality, though with 0.94 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $49.70 and keeping dry powder in case we test $46.22.
Weak institutional 13F flow (6/20) and analyst price-target cuts with the stock down 22.58% and trading near its 52-week low.. Look at the math on SFM: paying 8.5x trailing P/E for 23.5% ROIC and 7.8% operating margins leaves zero margin of safety if Food Chains demand softens. I'd wait for a retest of $43.74 before getting long.
