It has all the makings of value stock.
* 15 PE ratio
* 4.29% dividend
* trading at bottom of 5 year range. Was over $60/share in 2018
* Profitable by any and all measures. Cash flow is more than enough to handle their debt.
*Acquired Blue Buffalo for entry into the Pet Food business
Nothing exciting here but I think this one should jump back to $55 in no time.

My wife thought I was a fool for buying GIS a couple of years ago, and she was right. I think I'm down 25 percent or some such proportion. She thinks that their products are all old-school and that new generations of customers aren't interested in them. She may be correct, but I have to think that they've got enough market research to understand consumer directions and shift their product line if that's the case. I'm holding on, hoping for a comeback.
