The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I am on the fence after looking at this a bit.

The EPS trend has been very good the past 5 years


Sales EPS (TTM) Stock Price* PE

2021 : $ 4.40B $ 4.70 $322 68
2022 : $ 6.26B $ 7.79 $297 38
2023 : $ 8.11B $10.07 $330 32
2024 : $ 9.62B $12.77 $311 24
2025 : $10.59B $14.64 $315 21

2026?: $11.25B? $14.80? $225? 15?

* Jun 1st each year

Yes during this time the stock has been generally flat - showing how much growth was priced into the stock back in 2021. My general hesitation in investing in retailers is also a bias I have.

Forecasts are for $14.80 per share in EPS this year, but that is based on a fairly pessimistic view on tariff policy (TACO opportunity?). On the negative side, have they tapped out their growth potential on the top line? Their products are for a very specific market - that customer base is loyal but can they grow it?

I would suggest an entry point below $225 is probably on the safer side for a trade - with the expectations that the tariff policy challenges are over stated and the stock would probably pop back over $350 - but that is a speculative position; so it would be risky.
