Thesis:

I view Blue Apron (APRN) as more of a mix of a fine dining and casual dining restaurant than as an upscale grocery store. Taking into consideration this point of view, I calculate what I believe will be their future gross margin in 2021. I did this by averaging the gross margins of Whole Foods (WFM) and Fogo de Chao (FOGO) over the past four years. I picked Whole Foods because the products that they offer their customers are quality, all-natural foods, similar to what Blue Apron. I believe that Fogo de Chao is a good comparison to Blue Apron because they both offer their customers a unique dining experience. Also, I feel that Blue Apron will follow in the footsteps of their tech brethren and sacrifice current profit in order to grow their customer base by increasing marketing and SG&A expenses. At this time I do not feel that there will be a Corporate Tax break in the United States and I will use the marginal tax rate of 29%. This sentiment can be confirmed in the article “Fewer S&P 500 Companies Discussing Trump on Earnings Calls for Q2” by John Butters. Lastly, I feel that the Price to Sales Multiple better reflects the true value of Blue Apron than the Implied Share Price from the Free Cash Flow calculations does. The P/S Multiple of 1.04x is an average of the P/S multiples of a select group of comparable companies in the fine/casual Dining Industry plus Whole Foods. In this analysis, I do not include the Muskness principle which I will explain later on.

  • [By David Sterman]

    Take Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE: COG(link is external)) as an example. As I noted earlier this month(link is external), Cabot’s current drilling plans are expected to lead to a big spike in output over the next few years. The company’s executives decided to plow ahead with development plans, even as rivals were retrenching. The fact that natural gas prices have risen more than 10% in the past three weeks simply underscores the wisdom of that strategy, and could lead to rising sales and profit estimates.
