HNZ and BNHN -- The fact that HNZ can squeeze out a 4% dividend is good, and their earnings press release reads well in terms of growth plans with new products and acquisitions. Having a growth story while paying a nice dividend, is compelling. I wonder, however, how much upside there is to the price. At $2.50-$2.70 EPS, their PE might be closer to "fair" than to "undervalued". And their debt, ROE, and a few other ratios are cautionary flags. But there's enough here for a good solid look. Thanks. BNHN -- I also wondered about the low institution ownership. Even compared to another lower mkt cap restaurant like DAB, BNHN is low. From this ort in their last press, I think they imply that they'd like to increase the institutional ownership. Which, if successful, would certainly be a booster-chair for the stock price. "We also successfully raised new equity capital, which, in addition to increasing market liquidity for our shares, helped to further enhance our already strong financial position." grommit
