I’ve been buying a tiny position in EACO over the last month a few shares here and a few share their. Here is what I like.
1) EACO has been growing for years, as revenue has grown from FY 2010 of 91.5 million to 134.7 million in FY 2014. And they have grown revenues every year, and so far 2015 looks more of the same as they continue to grow revenues.
2) EACO earned .23 in q2, which means if you annualized that it would be cheap, but EACO is seasonal and their best quarters are q3 and q4 are yet to come. So I expect really good numbers of say .35-.45 the next two quarters, hence I feel the stock is very cheap at current prices in my opinion.
3) EACO has a healthy balance sheet with a $1.33 in cash.
Conclusion: I like EACO and think it has a chance to post some really great results. The downside is the CEO owns a lot of shares and occasionally sells some shares, so I always think EACO will receive a lower PE because of it. But still a PE of 8-10 gets us to about $9-$11 in my opinion. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.

The CEO has sold some before, but only 1000 or so at a time. I don't know if there are limits if the CEO wanted to sell more or not. If I were the CEO, I wouldn't dump wholesale, but then again, everyone needs to make their own decisions as to what makes sense to their financial needs.
I look at whether the company shares are cheap no matter who holds them. I think they are very cheap, unless someone can point out why they are not. Both on book value, sales per share, EPS, and growth rate, a single digit price doesn't seem at all appropriate. I could be wrong, but I would like to know what I'm missing here.

It will be this quarter. Last Q was May 31, 2014. In that Q:
n March 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Sylmar Properties. As such, the associated land, buildings and improvements and related liabilities were reclassified as assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of May 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013. In June 2014, the Company completed the sale of the Sylmar Properties for $9,125,000 in cash and paid the related mortgage off in full.
Assets available for sale: $7,483,000 on the balance sheet. I would assume the difference would be the gain on the asset. The liabilities which I assume was the mortgage and paid off, thus the difference from that and cash received less closing costs if not included in that $9,125,000. would be added to the cash balance. If you don't agree, let me know. I didn't buy this stock for a one quarter non-recurring gain, I just like the value here, and that is a nice kicker. I was surprised to see someone also follow it on SA, and that person seems to have come to the same conclusion (and no, I didn't write it).
