Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research
SFM has had a nice run, up 66% year-to-date and 113% on a one-year basis. Forward estimates are calling for high single-digit to low double-digit growth on both sales and earnings, and its free cash flow is strong. Profit margins are stable, and its forward P/E of 25X is somewhat high, but it has been beating earnings estimates nicely over the past few years. We continue to like its momentum, but given its multiple expansion, we might expect a pullback or consolidation at some point.

She likes this company, because they do reasonably priced food. They are expecting 14% revenue growth next year, and 4% same-store sales growth. It is a high growth company in the consumer staples space. Also, they tend to have smaller square footage stores. They’ve seen some good growth in the number of stores, and are expecting to expand their stores by 16% this year.
