This looks amazing on just about any value metric, just the sort of small cap I want to invest in, in fact I was sufficiently interested to do more research before considering a purchase. The issue is it operates in a commodity business, with… More

Trying my modified MFI screener, which adds EV/EBITDA and EV/FCF criteria.

I remember coming across CALM a few years ago and seeing the high short interest. Seeing as the stock has not cratered in the past few years, I believe this is a good short squeeze candidate (though I have to be surprised, the shorts have to pay the dividend unless they are covering prior to ex-div). I may buy in MRLP and collect the dividend. Another note - Whole Foods stock has recovered and is trading quite high. I will treat this as a trade along the same lines, but CALM has the low valuations to offset the one-product risk. Perhaps I am being naive here, and rising feed and energy prices, will eventually let the shorts win.

CALM will struggle with higher feed prices but the company is so well managed and they've done a good job of converting customers to higher priced eggs over their lower priced ones. Since their dividend is based on earnings, they won't strap themselves paying divs when they lose money in a quarter but good quarters will handsomely reward the patient investor.
