On CAPS, 96% of the 402 members who have rated Tupperware believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include kpoeppel and Rhn8982.
Just last week, kpoeppel touched on the tailwinds working in Tupperware's favor:
According to their CEO, most of their growth is among women in emerging markets. Hard to bet against the secular trend of better food storage as emerging middle class grows. Preserving food will become even more important as food prices rise with increasing emerging market consumption.
Over the next five years, in fact, Tupperware is expected to grow its bottom line at a solid rate of 14.7% annually. That's faster than much larger consumer goods plays like Colgate-Palmolive
CAPS member Rhn8982 elaborates on the bull case:
Tupperware has been very good in adapting its products to the needs of different countries and cultures. The management has shown it is very aware of cultural differences and this has shown in their sales in many developing markets. This I think bodes well for expanding sales as more people in developing countries are earning enough money to buy them.
