This packaged bakery food company has a significant 17.4% share of the US bread market.

Flowers Foods (FLO) Looks Well-Placed on Pricing, Buyouts

Flowers Foods has experienced a decline in stock price by 12%, while the broader market has gained 11% since our last writing in March 2023. The decline in stock price can be attributed to lower-than-expected Q1 results along with lowered guidance. Despite the strong Q2 results, the price has kept on declining after the announcement. Dividend sustainability and safety are questionable as FLO's free cash flow has not been enough to cover dividends and share repurchases in the past quarter.
