Buzz Stock of the Day- Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD)

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Here’s a pretty funny commercial for our Buzz Stock of the Day’s restaurant chain.

Cold beer, hot wings, and sports are usually key ingredients for a good time–especially in places where there isn’t all that much to do.

Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BWLD) runs 567 sports bars/restaurants in 39 states. As expected, the company’s restaurants attract sports fans, a group that seems to be spending money despite recessionary pressures. The Minneapolis-based Buffalo Wild Wings, reported a 33 percent boost in Q4 revenue, outstripping the verage 18 percent gain of companies in the hotels, restaurants, and leisure industry. Net profit climbed 29 percent, and EPS have increased year over year in the past eight quarters. Same store sales (a key metric for companies in the restaurant industry) at company owned restaurants increased 8 percent in January, and sales at franchise locations were up 7 percent.

“At some point it seems battle-fatigue sets in and, as a protective conditioned-response, consumers look for an escape,” said Morgan Keegan analyst Bob Derrington in a note to investors. “Restaurant dining can provide that escape.”

Derrington stated that although traffic at restaurants may be down, compared to a year ago, same store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, are holding up relatively well.

Consumers’ desire for comfort and an escape from the daily drudgery could result in continued growth for Buffalo Wild Wings. Shares of BWLD are up about 71 percent over the past 12 months. The company has an operating margin of about 9 percent, and had operating cash flow of $66 million, on revenue of $422 million (ttm).

Can 2009 be another break out year for BWLD?

Buzz Stock of the Day: Jacobs Engineering Group (JEC)

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

We love movie trailers, so here’s one for our Buzz Stock of the day:

Jacobs Engineering Group (NYSE: JEC) provides technical, professional, and construction services to industrial, commercial, and governmental customers around the world. The $5 billion company has an operating margin of about 5.6%, and operating cash flow of $539 million.

The Motley Fool listed Jacobs as a stock for the next Great Depression. A key characteristic for these companies to have is the ability to stay out of the debt crisis that’s bringing sectors like finance, automotive, and homebuilding to their knees, according to the Fool.

Jacobs is in a sweet spot of the market–infrastructure–has a definite tailwind, and could be one of the big winners from the new administration’s stimulus plan.

Jacobs reported earnings of $116.4 million, or $0.94 a share in Q1 2009, up more than 18 percent compared with the same quarter last year. The company also increased its backlog by more than $1 billion from a year ago. Jacobs was listed as one of our Top 10 stocks to own in 2009, and we stand by our claim. Expect Jacobs to be one of the big winners of President Barack Obama’s stimulus plan, and out perform the S&P 500 this year.
