P.F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB)

CAPS Rating:
*

Owner and operator of a number of full service restaurants that feature a blend of high quality, traditional Chinese cuisine and American hospitality in a contemporary bistro setting.

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'm not a fan of restaurants in this consumer environment (high gas, high food, foreclosed homes). First Madcowmonkey convinced me then, then TMFDeej drove it home and the I finally got off my butt and thumbed some down.
I've missed some easy points by procrastinating.

PF Chang's might be one the more affected ones out there. It's mid to high price range so it does have some exposure to customer trading down but the real problem here is the rice shortage and possible rice shortages in the future. I don't know about you but I don't want to eat Chinese without rice. Twice in may I've gone to two separate PF chang's and been denied rice due to shortages. This can not be good for their bottom line or customer retention.

PFCB is not cheap to begin with and has a moderately high amount of debt (0.60 LT to equity). I don't expect them to have a stellar 2008 even in a better situation.

I think there is strong pressure to the downside on this stock due to a probable earnings miss (es) coming up.

Bottom is in. Cash flows are strong. The company is profitable so its not going to go broke and disappear. Confidence in their product is so strong that unlike others who are cutting back on buy backs PF is moving forward and aggresively. Oil will moderate and drop with the Saudi's new pledge of more oil. Decent short position makes for potential squeeze. I'm calling bottom here.

Input costs are going up, Americans are going broke and competitors can substitute Chicken.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
