An overly focused view on SSS is not really a measure of what the company is achieving. As stated in their preso: opening new stores leads to cannibalization. That's a credible observation; its the totals that count.
EBITDA growth of just under 10% is the number serious investors look at. That, and the ROC, and that's at 15%. Not stellar, but no slouch either.
The yield may be an issue for some, but I am amazed CFK have managed to increase the divvy while having an NLR of 1.59. Div retention to pay off debt would seem prudent.
I'd certainly expect price weakness going into a CR. But that's the opportunity.
Haters will hate, potatoes will potate!
