What was the biggest thing in earnings news yesterday? Well, depending on your investing bias, it was either Burger King (BKC), which reported its first public quarter with a seven cents per share loss; or Whole Foods (WFMI), which is down big after reporting a good profit yesterday, but missing estimates on sales and offering what analysts are calling "confusing" guidance for full-year 2006 and 2007 sales. Bear Stearns rates Whole Foods at "underperform" and UBS has a "neutral" rating.
The stocks were both down sharply yesterday; Burger King was down $2.01, or 13%, to $13.24 (with a slight recovery in after-hours trading); and Whole Foods fell $6.76, or nearly 12%, to $50.75.
Let's say you're the average food investor, wondering: should I put my money where my health is? Or go for the fatty deep-fried flavor? Where's the value?
