Unless I missed something they earned a clean .76/share Canadian for Q2. In my wildest fantasies which included several college cheerleaders and a tub of butter there was no way I figured them for that much.
They also have about 75 cents a share cash on the balance sheet, valuable real estate worth at least 2 dollars a share far over book value, and now no debt.
Official book value is hovering around 4 bucks.
And all that for 1.25 a share CDN and a buck US. Even for a retailer that’s insane. They earned more than half their market cap this quarter, and I believe their normalized TTM PE is now less than 1.
I’m hoping they reinstate the dividend. They certainly have the money for it.
