On CAPS, 684 of the 749 members who have rated Kellogg -- 91% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Guardius and All-Star NoVaAmPro, who is ranked in the top 6% of our community.
In March, Guardius described Kellogg in particularly tasty terms:
Strong brands, strong market presence, good marketing spend. Even in a recessionary market, many of their brands are inferior goods (economics definition) so they should do well right now. Long-term there are strong prospects for the company. They are a bargain still.
In a pitch from three days ago, NoVaAmPro expands on the gr-r-reat opportunity:
Recently added Kellogg's to the portfolio (starting to clean out some garbage, add some quality, and take advantage of the best buying opportunity possibly of my entire life). Cereal isn't going out of style, and let's face it -- even if mom and dad have to cut back during this economy, the kids still need to eat breakfast. And as the economy rebounds, watch for mom and dad to be more willing to pay more for the name-brand stuff.
