Over on CAPS, all 104 All-Star members who have rated Gruma believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include JTShideler and OtherOracleOfOMA, both of whom are ranked in the top 7% of our community.

In December, JTShideler touched on Gruma's seemingly attractive stock price (which is even cheaper today): "This stock looks over sold to me. Economic downturn should not devastate food producers as much as luxury manufacturers and with its current valuation I think it is worth a nibble."

In a pitch from November, OtherOracleOfOMA takes a more balanced bullish view:

Even in a downturn, people gotta eat. [Gruma] is going to benefit from the intense brand loyalty that's developing for their products, especially amongst the rapidly growing Hispanic population in the USA. Margins are relatively thin, but falling commodity prices should help with that. My only big reservation is that they have no substantive, sustainable competitive advantage - their products can easily be replicated.
