Calavo Growers, Inc. (CVGW)

There is much to like here. They pay a nice dividend. They have a leading position in Avocados. They are branching into the booming hispanic foods market. Any stock in that broad area is worth a look. It has low debt and a solid historical price chart.

umm- guacamole!

micro-cap, slow-food play

I like avacados

If you wants avacados this is the company that grows them. I like them for the following reasons; Little debt. Underfollowed. Growth Oriented. Expanding variety of veggies for sale. Good relationship with the grocers it does business with.

I have added CVGW to my wish list for my IRA. Buy on the dips and hold!

Limoneira proxy. When that company's stock soars as their East Area One community bears its fruit in the next few years, so will this one, as they own approximately 16% of Limoneira

This is easy! The stock was recently sold down and under as it cycles. The CEO sold a measily 2000 shares out of his family trust.

This stock is about California avacados mostly. It has recently added a very nice fruit selection from Hawaii (irradicated product line)

The share price is near a 52 week low, all the while it is in gear for its usual best financial quarter.

Micro-cap 5-star food producer in a hot. growing market (avocados are healthy and getting more popular all the time) near it's 52-week low. Food prices are rising and agricultural companies are reaping the profits.

With climbing commodity prices, this group of growers could really cash in, assuming that people don't approach avocados as a premium product they can leave out of their budget.

While California's avocado crop was destroyed by fire, along with the trees, Chile's crop was greatly diminished by unusually cold weather. The trees may take a couple of years to recover but they were not killed. This company seems to have aligned itself nicely in order to profit from a poor US crop plus higher food prices. Their diversification into tropical and Hispanic foods will only increase their success.

Their trend might be low but I think that they will pick up as soon as the economy comes around

going to have better performace in couple of weeks

An avocado stock! Brilliant! Mexican food and Tex/mex is still popular, healthy food trends continue, and avocados even make good ice cream. They have a short shelf life, which keeps people coming back for more.

They had a bad 4th Q due to frozen avocado imports from South Am. They're due to bounce back, especially because of a new contract with a Hawaiian pinapple company. They're also expanding into the mushroom business. Lots of room for growth.

so let me get this strait... so they grow avocado and ......avocados?? iam not a fan of em avocados..i preferred salsa and cheese with by doritos

Sales alway pick up for Super Bowl through Cinco De Mayo.

Has advantage with their proprietary techniques for ensuring perfectly ripe avocados arrive at their shipping destinations. Calavo has been diversifying their products and are now better insulated from bad avocado crop years. High insider ownership (>20%) but company management needs to improve profit margins ~2.5%.

Great products and a great crop this year! Football season is here and its time for Gucamole and chips!

I like produce stocks that are low with decent financials.

Calavo does business in the Avacado (palta) realm. After being in Chile and seeing the hectares of palta plantations and now seeing this company imports from Chile, I'm on their side. Besides that, they have a decent P/E compared to the industry, and have been growing steadily over the last 2 years.

Knowing how cheap paltas are in Chile and how much you pay here, CVGW s definately making a profit.
