The balance sheet requires a better job to lower the costs of sales on positive side we can see they are increase the market share. And they may perform well on future. People always like tea. Drinking tea market in US is extending

With the coming recession people will start buying more A&P and Pathmark brand items instead of higher priced items.

GAP (no not the clothing retailer) meets the key screening criteria of a wide range of earnings estimates. Analysts are predicting anywhere from -0.48 to -0.19 cents a share for the third quarter. Another screening criteria, history of unpredictable earnings, is also met. For the last four quarters Green Atlantic has suprised analysts to the tune of (-56.1%), (-38.5%), (460.4%), and (74.15) one year ago. I think it safe to say analysts don’t really know what to expect from this company.
More Good News (from my perspective)
Growth for the quarter is expected at -357% , and -120% for the next quarter. Analyts have been revising their estimates downward the last 90 days. The last 52 weeks Green Atlantic has fallen significantly more than the S&P -81% vs. -42%. Not a lot of good expectations for this stock. My favorite indicator of all is the recent insider transactions. Since July of this year insiders have been buying shares like crazy, see here.

I like this one as a long term play for 3 reasons:
1 - Their recent purchase of Pathmark relieves some of the competitive pressures in their core market.
2 - They've divested themselves of all stores out of the northeast area. This is their core business area and where they are going to concentrate their business.
3 - They're moving forward with plans to remodel their stores and target local consumers with either higher end fresh foods or more basic and ethnic foods depending on the local market.
This is a long term play and I'm going in at $29.38. I'd like it better at $26 or $27 but I'll bite at this price.
One final note: grocery retailing is a notoriously low margin business that is extremely competitive. Only niche players (think WFMI) tend to squeeze out better margins.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, A&P is a large old-line retail food store. The stock with slow growth is a "classic" consumer non-durable goods company to own in a BEAR Market.
KahunaCFA does not currently own shares of A&P, the Individual Retirement Account will buy some shares this week for a long-term, stable value investment.

The US slowdown and a bad 07 christmas season hurt this industry but I still buy gap and my kids where gap too. So I am picking this stock and hopefully, a better 08 holiday season.
