AIPC vs KFT (Kraft) vs CAG (Conagra)

Net profit margin:
AIPC 13.90
KFT 8.16
CAG 5.32

ROE:
AIPC 29.49
KFT 14.21
CAG 14.06

EPS:
AIPC 3.74
KFT 1.43
CAG 1.57

Based on all of those calculations, AIPC should be worth at least 2x as much as KFT and CAG.

PE:
AIPC 7.63
KFT 19.09
CAG 13.58

Wayyyy out of line. AIPC is tremendously undervalued. PE is less than 1/2 of the average of KFT & CAG. They also have the highest 5yr revenue growth of the 3. Stock should be trading at a price of at least *double* the current level -- or around $57/share.

Undervalued - I think people are rushing into less "safe" stocks than pasta... and have overdone it as the economy recovers. This price will be rising; 40 by this time next year, and likely recovering up to 30-32 in a week or so.

Its a macaroni and cheese kind of economy. Low P/E of 11and 7% annual revenue growth over five years, I think AIPC is a sleeper stock for the long term.
