Solid restaurants, lots of expansion opportunities - especially for Pei Wei - trading at reasonable multiple with good balance sheet. Hurt hard by exposure to southwest US, will bounce back quickly as that region picks up in next few years.

They reported $0.46 per share for the quarter. But during the quarter several restaurants were closed due to identity theft. This cost the company $0.04 per share for the quarter. This will be a temporary problem. But they expect this to affect them further in 2011. They also said commodity prices are going up. I think the lower oil prices should help some and many commodities are going down which should positively affect food costs for them – hopefully.

They are still growing well and their PE of 18 is fair enough. I dropped them from Caps after the report but the 11% drop in my opinion was plenty of a discount to re-up it in Caps.

They pay out a varying dividend which is capped at 45% of net earnings. In the quarter, they paid to shareholder $0.21. In the fourth quarter it was $0.29. Next quarter it could be higher or lower. But it should remain a healthy dividend.

They produced $85 million or about $3.70 per share in cash flow for fiscal 2010. I think that is very impressive considering it also included capital expenditures of $39 million, though down from about $49 million last year.

I was able to get the price of 39.43 on caps that is a PE of 18.78 and a cash flow yield of 10.7% based on TTM cash flow per share of $4.22 at the end of the first quarter 2011. Cash flow for the quarter was $14.4 million up from $2.9 million last year even though they spent about the same amount in capital expenditures.

They have only 201 Bistro restaurants and 171 Pei Wei restaurants. They are funding growth through cash flow. I think they have some interesting growth potential.

They have only $1.2 million in debt and $72 million in cash. CAKE PE is 22.48 which is higher than PFCB 18.78. I don't think they will have an trouble beating the S&P500 in the next five years if oil prices behave.

This is one restaurant stock I don't own yet, but it is one I think I will add. I haven't done a very close study of them though I have been watching them for many years. Does anyone have additional information on them?
