MGMT not Performing Well
No matter how you slice and dice things, MFI managment not performing very well. So, looks like this quarter EPS will be weaker thank expected and so the market is pricing that in. In all, despite all the management spin next quarterly earnings release, management is screwing up big time. Don't buy any MFI untile the

NEXT EARNINGS RELEASE which is 04NOV20. It may well be the Michael McCain really does not care that much - MFI should be performing MUCH BETTER but it is not.....shame on Management. WAIT - DO NOT BUY AND REVIEW AFTER NEXT EARNINGS RELEASE.

the more the SP drops though, the more attractive this gets. It's just a matter of time before we see a nice bounce up from this pullback. Long term the drivers for this story are still bullish.

It is discouraging to see the price plunge today. What I don't understand is that by all measures things are improving. Exception being cash flow. Cash is low because of investment primarily in the London chicken processing plant. Can you articulate what it is that prompts you to say management is sleeping at the wheel. I missed this mornings report.

Seems to me that they are trying to pay for capital investments out of earnings with ROI out 2 to 3 years. While i agree with the efficiencies that will result in a higher SP in the future, it will continue to drag down the SP until then. They could do a lease back and free up the money but then what? Buy back shares?

MFI's expansion into the plant based food business is a huge financial commitment and RISKY! That said, BYND can do it and get a fantastic share valuation out of it, so can MFI - they have had plenty of time to get there but it appears management incompetency is starting to show. They need to get a grip and fast!! TOO MUCH SYSTEMIC COMPLACENCY IN THIS COMPANY!!

Patience; they have 1.3 billion in liquidity to execute on the strategy. Directionally things are positive. What more can u ask? The Company generated 60 million in FCF for the quarter. Plenty of room.

Yes but any worthwhile investment with the returns of plant based products requires a reasonable lead time; would you not agree? Netflix took a decade to establish, perhaps longer.
