Lancaster Colony: The New Plant And Partnership Growth Don't Outweigh Stagnation Risks
The stock has performed well over the past decade, rising by an average almost 9% annually. Lancaster has a long history of dividend growth, but that has slowed recently, and the payout ratio is rising. The most recent earnings report caused the stock to decline more than 15%, as management cited a tough consumer environment.
Lancaster Colony: Q3 Reflects The Impact Of Consumer Weakness
Lancaster Colony's fiscal Q3 reflected a weaker consumer. Foodservice sales declined especially much based on weaker restaurant traffic, and retail performance also showed weaker demand. The weak sales performance was offset in the bottom line by Lancaster's supply chain and cost initiatives. With a healthier long-term outlook, I estimate Lancaster's stock to have a fair value of $154.5.
