I'm going back to the till on this one. It could get worse but is worth a shot here. Even Einhorn's short thesis implied a $3.50 EPS for GMCR. Even if he's off by 25% ($2.40) it still implies a P/E of 10.
The patent expirations are going to ding earnings, but aren't going to destroy the business! In fact, lower pod prices may cause more homes & small offices to adopt single-serve as it will be more affordable.
SBUX is very careful about their single-serve plans and still needs GMCR right now. If this stock drops too much, it would probably make sense for SBUX to acquire GMCR.
If the SEC investigation yields "worst-case" results, then I'm in for some pain here.
Definitely worth a nibble...
