Downthumb. Generally good cash flow. But high debt ratio. Poor sales growth. Very low margins. Subject to pressure due to expansion of international competition. Likely to experience contraction. Insider sales in July which were attributed to individuals with good track records for taking profits.

Evil elements:
-"Lagoons" of antibiotic-ridden, decomposing, toxic hog waste that spill into our waterways during period of heavy rain
-Exploitive labor practices
-Unsanitary conditions created by "efficiencies" serve as breeding ground for dangerous viruses, such as swine flu
-Leans on government heavily to preserve evil practices

3 Star rating w/ P/E Ratio of 32.85 following a significant drop in market today(S&P @ 953). Price slightly above 52 wk low w/ a range of 8.28-32.18. Currently 25% below the SPY. Had a slight rise in price today following last weeks low. Hold till price reaches about $20.00 and re-evaluate. Had a significant drop in price during last 10 months.
Price significantly below the 50 day moving average, near the bottom of Bollinger band that is slightly wider than preceding 10 months, and divergence turning slightly positively upward. Stock scouter has it rated @ 4 with much higher risk compared to returns.

Chinese demand for pork should help drive demand, and meat has to bottom at some point.

This is one of the few vices I will bet against. In the current environment you can make money on gambling, on tobacco, on whiskey, on naked people, and just about any vice you can imagine. But this isn't just any vice. It's pork. Religious groups hate it. Vegetarian groups hate it. Animal rights groups hate it. Medical organizations hate it. Let's face it. The only place the pork industry is getting any love is from burger and breakfast joints.
No amount of PR work is going to un-demonize pork. It's not going away, but it's never going to be as profitable as in years past.

Verticle integration has provided a means of either profiting from production or from value added processing. Costs are lower than others, so they should at least come out better and benifit from liquidation of other who can't continue.
