Over the past 400 weeks of data, JBGS has crossed below its 200-week moving average 4 times. On average, these episodes lasted 68 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -1.5%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.

Over the past 7.8 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in JBGS would have grown to $61, compared to $287 for the S&P 500. JBGS has returned -6.2% annualized vs 14.6% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -100% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.
