HRL offers a far superior balance sheet as well as a better mix of business (other types of products, diversified exposure to meats, strong retail vs restaurant). The disconnect shows up best when evaluating Enterprise Value to EBITDA, as the company trades at 6.1X compared to a more typical 9-10X for the overall food industry.

This is a rock solid company, good buy at these prices IMHO (100 character max) Cancel
