Nash-Finch Company (NAFC)

CAPS Rating:
***

A food retail and distribution company in the United States. The Company's business consists of three primary operating segments: food distribution, military food distribution and food retailing.

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.

"Middle of the Road" company with a relative strength of 73. The Food Wholesale industry is tight enough, but to carry the level of inventory and receivables they do, is too much. If that were not enough, look at earnings per share (down 156.6 from last year).

Nash-Finch Company- Retail grocery industry and the military commissary and exchange systems, are experiencing a flood of new traffic due to high food price and pressure on the American consumer. The Companies various nationally branded and private label products will be in high demand as American consumers look for cheaper ways to keep the cupboards full. Nash-Finch strong supply chains from Mexico have kept transportation of perishable products relatively cheap in comparison to their larger less agile rivals like Kroger. I expect this trend to continue for them through 2009.

Shorted this pig at $38 and I am expecting a free fall to maybe $12 in the next 90 days. Worst managed grocery company in US. Extremely overvalued!
