(I'm neutral) I almost went for some CQB six months ago before it's present rise. I also looked at FDP. I found that more attractive, but passed. I'm more up to speed on CQP because they have a relationship with LNDC. That relationship has not lived up to expectations. Personally if I did buy CQB (highly leveraged). I would be taking profits here. It's had a nice rise. They export a lot of product to Europe which is hurting right now. I suppose they would participate in a European recovery though. This industry as far as I can remember it, has had volatile earnings and big swings in profit margins. These days, what I do like is seeing more offerings of their products as ready to go (the works done for you) . I'm also seeing more broad portion control offerings. IMO this makes it higher margin & more attractive to consumers, especially moms.
