United Natural Foods,Inc. (UNFI)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a distributor and retailer of natural and organic products in the United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I've rooted around on this one. My customers who use UNFI (they have only two choices, but really only one, that being UNFI) tell me that they are not the nice easy going company that they used to be. UNFI has learned how to make money and these natural foods types aren't happy about it.

UNFI is at Deaths Door. This is not the first time, in 1999 they got a reprieve from Whole Foods when Tree of Life had massive iinventory problems with products not being in stock.

E2008-09-03 11am I don't like their acquistion of Millbrook. Also, in general, the percieved weakness experienced in natural foods outside of convential supermarkets is worrisome. I love natural foods and buy those at a premium, but will short this stock.

Everyone thinks that because Whole Foods is failing that natural foods are on a down slide. The truth is that more and more people make the switch to naturals and organics every time there is a food scare. So why is Whole Foods failing? Because they are overpriced, and every one of the "conventional" grocers that were never competitors before are now carrying what they once had a monopoly on.
Where does everyone else get the product from? UNFI
The more Whole Foods declines, the more customers are switching over, and the more business UNFI gains.
