Four Fast Food Stocks

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd


DMP Details

Facing allegations on its GPS Driver Tracker Technology: Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd. (ASX: DMP) recently clarified investors that their dispute with Precision Tracking, an IT firm related to GPS Driver Tracker Technology were irrelevant. On the other side, the group’s stock surged over 65.01% (as of April 29, 2016) in the last one year driven by its outstanding performance across its segments. DMP delivered a Net Profit after Tax rise by 56.7% yoy to $45.6 million supported by same stores performance which increased by 10.3% for the first half of 2016. There has been a 41.1% increase in interim dividend to 34.7 cents. Accordingly, the firm’s underlying revenues surged by 29.6% to $445.3 million during the period, while underlying EBITDA rallied by 44.9% to $87 million against the pcp.

Meanwhile, the group also finished the acquisition of the 212 store Joey’s Pizza chain in Germany. With this move DMP would add over 210 franchised stores to its brand. However, the recent rally in the stock placed DMP at very high levels with the stock is trading at an unreasonable P/E. Therefore, we rate the stock “Expensive” at the current price of $62.80

Collins Foods Ltd
 

CKF Details

Improving working capital: Collins Foods Ltd (ASX: CKF) recently reported that they are refinancing their present syndicated debt facilities of $165 million with expansion of $65 million (fully drawn). The group also extended its working capital facility of $15 million to more terms. Meanwhile, the group’s revenues rose by 5.1% to $269.7 million for the first half of 2016 while KFC same store sales increased by 5.2% against the prior corresponding period (pcp). On the other hand, the group’s Sizzler Australia’s same store sales fell by 12% during the first half of 2016. This poor same store performance coupled with tough market conditions in Australia drove the stock lower by 22.99% in the last three months (as of April 29, 2016). Despite this decrease, we believe the stock is “Expensive” at the current levels of $4.04

Top line pressure: Patties Foods Limited (ASX: PFL) reported weak revenues for the first half of 2016 which fell by 8.6% to $126.2 million on the back of decrease in Frozen Fruit sales and margins as compared to the first half of 2015.

The underlying EBIT (excluding Fruit) rose by 7.2% to $13.1 million.

The stock has risen 5.70% in the last five days (as of April 29, 2016). Moreover, the stock is trading at a very high P/E despite having a strong dividend yield. As a result, we give an “Expensive” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $1.22
