Top Low Price Stocks To Buy Right Now


(Editor’s note: There is much greater liquidity on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under ticker Z01).

The Elevator Pitch

Zooplus (OTC:ZOPLY) (OTC:ZLPSF) is the leading online retailer of pet food and supplies in Europe. Generally, in a commoditized market such as selling pet food, the lowest cost provider with the best customer service has the “right to win”. We believe that Zooplus will be this winner, given its structural cost advantage versus its competitors (which we explore below). Additionally, customer satisfaction is extremely high, and we can clearly see customers’ appreciation for the company’s value proposition, as evidenced by the 94% sales retention rate. These unbeatable low prices and high customer satisfaction have led to a 31% annualized sales growth rate since 2010, while still possessing a long runway for continued expansion.


We believe the market is underestimating the long-term earnings power of the firm and consequently significantly undervaluing the company. For instance, the stock is currently trading at 0.9x 2016 sales while comparable acquisitions have taken place at 2-6x multiples. Additionally, we believe at maturity, the business will have normalized operating margins of 8-10%, implying a valuation of ~10x normalized EBIT.

    June got off to a dicey start. Disney(NYSE:DIS), Universal Orlando parent Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), and SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE:SEAS) were particularly aggressive with June promotions in an effort to goose the quarter’s results, a strong indication that attendance levels weren’t up to snuff in the early going. Disney lifted most of the month’s blackout dates for its cheaper annual pass plans. Universal Orlando offered Florida residents a deal to get two tickets for the price of one. SeaWorld Orlando countered with free beer. However, with new rides and experiences available as the heavy July crowds come pouring in it seems as if Central Florida’s theme park landscape is finally ready for its closeup.
