A big spike in selling this week — 2.9x the usual volume, and the price dropped. Sometimes this kind of heavy selling marks the end of a decline. The idea is that the last reluctant holders have finally sold, leaving fewer sellers left to push the price lower.
Over the past 299 weeks of data, ARKO has crossed below its 200-week moving average 7 times. On average, these episodes lasted 39 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -11.2%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $558 million, ARKO is a small-cap stock. The company generates a free cash flow yield of 6.5%, which is healthy. Return on equity stands at 6.1%. The stock trades at 2.1x book value.
The company has been aggressively buying back shares, reducing its share count by 7.7% over the past three years. This stock also meets the Yartseva multibagger criteria as a small-cap with strong free cash flow yield and reasonable book value.
Over the past 5.8 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in ARKO would have grown to $52, compared to $229 for the S&P 500. ARKO has returned -10.5% annualized vs 15.2% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -16.1% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
