Arable land is limited, and the global population is growing. That makes food production a critical industry that will continue to be relevant regardless of economic direction. <\/p>\n<p>Low oil prices translate into higher consumer spending which benefits food production companies as well. As a defensive non-cyclical industry, demand stays relatively constant regardless of how the economy is performing. <\/p>\n<p>A rising tide lifts all boats, and the food industry is getting quite a lift lately. Several companies have raised guidance for the next quarter, and a number of analysts have upgraded the industry's outlook going forward.<!--more--> <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #003380; font-size: 17px;\">A Food Production Company With The Right Fundamentals For This Economy<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sanderson Farms Inc. <a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trend\/analysis\/stock\/NASDAQ_SAFM\/?mktcode=tradersblogsymbolscross\" target=\"_blank\">(NASDAQ:SAFM)<\/a><\/strong> is a $2 billion food producer and the third largest poultry producer in the US. Plants operating in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and Georgia process more than 10.6 million chickens per week.<\/p>\n<p>On average, meat producers have gained more than 13% year-to-date \u2013 well above the performance of the S&P 500. Low energy prices have boosted consumer spending, and bottoming commodity prices have helped profit margins. <\/p>\n<p>Sanderson's stock has risen 13.50% year-to-date and more than 30% in the past six months. A quick look at its chart shows how fast the stock has climbed. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trend\/analysis\/stock\/NASDAQ_SAFM\/?mktcode=tradersblogsymbolscross\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/7473.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"421\" alt=\"Daily Chart of Sanderson Farms Inc. (NASDAQ:SAFM)\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<small>Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Despite the quick gains, it doesn\u2019t look oversold based on its RSI reading of 44.74. It also appears to have solid bullish momentum with the 50-day moving average well above the 200-day moving average. <\/p>\n<p>The company beat first-quarter earnings of $0.47 per share compared to the $0.45 expected by Wall Street analysts. It also trades at 12 times earnings \u2013 less than half of the industry average of 27. Long-term EPS growth is nearly 16% as well giving it a PEG ratio of less than 1 \u2013 a strong bullish indicator.<\/p>\n<p>The company carries very little debt allowing it to react quickly to market opportunities and weather economic hardships. It carries a small dividend yield of 1% giving it some downside protection for investors. The stock trades at less than double its price-to-book ratio as well.<\/p>\n<p>Full year EPS estimates have risen from $6.28 to $6.53 per share putting the stock's fair value at around $95 per share \u2013 more than 9% above its current trading range. If next quarter's earnings estimates are revised upwards like last quarters, Sanderson could see even larger gains in both the short term and long term.<\/p>\n<p>Check back to see my next post!<\/p>\n<p>Best,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/meet-daniel-cross\/\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Cross<\/a><br \/>\nINO.com Contributor - Equities<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: italic;\">Disclosure: This contributor does not own any stocks mentioned in this article.
