Fresh Del Monte: Buy The Dip
Summary Fresh Del Monte is a buy on the dip after a 10% post-earnings pullback, offering 31% upside to a $48 price target.

Fresh Del Monte Produce: Moderately Attractive And Trading Cheap
Summary Fresh Del Monte Produce's revenue has grown at a CAGR of 2%, which is expected to continue, owing to the highly competitive, commoditized nature of the fresh produce industry. Although its margins have experienced volatility during the last decade, we suspect the company can normalize at an elevated level. Long-term success appears achievable, owing to its scale and strong brand. This should support a continuation of its 2-3% growth rate with population and economic growth. FDP is underperforming its peers but is trading at a ~53% discount to these companies. We believe this sufficiently accounts for its financial weakness. The company appears undervalued with a FCF yield of ~15%. This illustrates a reasonable opportunity although we struggle to see a significant long-term upside.
