$DOLE
1) Vertically integrated produce supplier w/ #1-2 position in bananas, pineapples, grapes - lots of infrastructure here: 110k acres, 250 facilities, 13 ships, etc.
2) Formed via 2021 (levered) merger with Total Produce, IPO at $16
3) Non-fundamental sell-off in Sep 2025 from passing/liquidation of longtime owner & former CEO David Murdock (shares from ~$15 to $13)
4) Rev + EBITDA steadily growing pre-and-post merger... EBITA mostly flat $380-390m from '21-25
5) FCF + divestitures used to repay debt from '21-24 - capital allocation inflecting toward buybacks ($100m authorization 3Q25 = ~8% s/o)
6) Fundies = ~$390m EBITDA, ~$170m FCF ($1.80/sh), ROIC >20% (vs. closest comp <10%)... leverage near 5x at merger, now 1.7x as of 3Q25
7) Peers (produce + grocers) trading 11-12x earnings & 7-8x EBITDA vs. DOLE at 10x / 6x = trading at discount while premium likely warranted
Shares currently hovering around $13-14, looks like good value for a scaled + stable business with inflecting cash flow... not as exciting as special sits, but still a nice setup... my FV estimate around $20
(disclosure: I'm long this one)
