Is PriceSmart, Inc. (PSMT) the Best Discount Store Stock to Invest In?We recently published a list of the 10 Best Discount Store Stocks to Invest In.

We recently published a list of the 10 Best Discount Store Stocks to Invest In. In this article, we are going to take a look at where PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) stands against the other best discount store stocks to invest in. Is Inflation and Slow Economic Growth on the Horizon for the US? The market is abuzz with concerns about the economic growth of the US, with inflation-related worries infesting consumer confidence. These factors are gaining force as the tariff deadlines imposed by President Trump on Canada and Mexico steadily approach after a delay in February. Investors are also skeptical about the labor market impacts of the initiatives taken by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The Conference Board reported that the consumer confidence index fell 7 points to 98.3, experiencing its largest fall since August 2021 and below the Dow Jones forecast of 102.3. In addition, The Expectations Index dropped to a 72.9 reading, reflecting a decrease of 9.3 points. The measure has tumbled below the level consistent with recession for the first time since June 2024. These trends show that consumers are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the country’s economic outlook, and this pessimism reached new heights in February due to skepticism surrounding rising inflation and a slowing economy, according to the Conference Board. CNBC reported that Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, said the following about the situation: “The present situation index improved, but consumers expect dark skies ahead. Change can be scary, so it’s not surprising that confidence is falling.” Joseph Trevisani, senior analyst at FXStreet in New York, expressed similar sentiments, as reported by CNBC: “There’s going to be a lot of back and forth on Trump’s initiatives, and certainly markets in general long term, don’t like tariffs. There’s definitely nervousness out there because some of these things could go the wrong way. Certainly, inflation hasn’t shown any sign of further retreat.” We discussed the major drop in consumer sentiment in a recently published article on the 10 Cheap Food Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds. Here is an excerpt from the article: “Economists and experts opine that the situation is unpredictable and worrisome. Trump’s tariffs may ignite another bubbling of inflation in a scenario where the Federal Reserve is weighing the odds of whether to slash interest rates further or hold steady as experts and policymakers chalk out the effects of the President’s aggressive trade and fiscal policies, as reported by CNBC. Story Continues READ ALSO: 10 Cheap Food Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds and 12 Best Grocery Store Stocks to Buy Now. What Are American Consumers Feeling? CNBC reported that the University of Michigan consumer survey for February reflected similar consumer sentiments. Respondents expect the inflation rate to be around 4.3% a year from now, reflecting a 1 percentage point jump from January and the highest level since November 2023. The news channel reported that Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Credit Union, said the following about the situation: “Higher prices from tariffs are the number one financial concern for Americans, as the weight of inflation is still oppressive to family budgets, especially among those with lower incomes. Even slight increases in prices, especially in top pain points such as food, shelter, and transportation, would be acutely felt by millions.” Since potentially higher prices in the future are a major concern for millions of Americans, consumers may increasingly direct their attention towards discount stores and value deals to make their way through the scenario. Our Methodology We sifted through stock screeners, online rankings, and ETFs to compile a list of 15 discount store stocks. We then selected the top 10 most popular stocks among elite hedge funds as of Q4 2024. We sourced the hedge fund sentiment data from Insider Monkey’s database. The list is sorted in ascending order of hedge fund sentiment. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).Is PriceSmart Inc.

In announcing his decision to step down as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Robert Price said, "As I approach my 83rd birthday in 2025, the time is right for me to transition from day-to-day duties and become Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer these last two years has been especially rewarding for me because of the progress we have made in our business and the positive impact PriceSmart continues to have on the lives of so many people—employees, Members, suppliers, and our communities." Regarding the CEO transition, Robert Price added, "David and I have worked together on a daily basis for the past two years and I have kept a close eye on his progress during his almost decade with the Company. I have complete confidence in his leadership, and I am thrilled that the PriceSmart Board of Directors has selected him as my successor. I'm proud to have sustained a culture of doing business the right way throughout my years of service to PriceSmart, and I'm sure that David will remain committed to this fundamental principle.

The Company's independent members of the Board of Directors unanimously approved the appointment of David Price as CEO and has the highest degree of confidence that he, together with the rest of the Company's accomplished management team, will continue to expand PriceSmart's business and enhance stockholder return."

PriceSmart's President and Chief Operating Officer John Hildebrant will continue serving in that role. Mr. Hildebrandt said, "Robert has been a guiding light for this business and for me. He has demonstrated that a business can be successful while operating the right way—providing our Members with the best possible shopping experience while making sure our employees receive excellent pay and benefits, a respectful and welcoming work environment, and opportunities for advancement. Moving forward, David Price is ideally prepared to assume the duties as our next Chief Executive Officer. He has been inculcated in PriceSmart's values by his father Robert and his grandfather Sol Price his whole life.

PriceSmart's (NASDAQ:PSMT) Dividend Will Be $0.63PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) will pay a dividend of $0.63 on the 29th of August.

PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) will pay a dividend of $0.63 on the 29th of August. The payment will take the dividend yield to 1.3%, which is in line with the average for the industry. Check out our latest analysis for PriceSmart PriceSmart's Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage We like a dividend to be consistent over the long term, so checking whether it is sustainable is important. However, prior to this announcement, PriceSmart was quite comfortably covering its dividend with earnings and it was paying more than 75% of its free cash flow to shareholders. The business is returning a large chunk of its cash to shareholders, which means it is not being used to grow the business. If the trend of the last few years continues, EPS will grow by 12.2% over the next 12 months. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 26% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.NasdaqGS:PSMT Historic Dividend March 2nd 2025 PriceSmart Has A Solid Track Record Even over a long history of paying dividends, the company's distributions have been remarkably stable. Since 2015, the annual payment back then was $0.70, compared to the most recent full-year payment of $1.16. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5.2% a year over that time. Companies like this can be very valuable over the long term, if the decent rate of growth can be maintained. The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow Some investors will be chomping at the bit to buy some of the company's stock based on its dividend history. It's encouraging to see that PriceSmart has been growing its earnings per share at 12% a year over the past five years. Growth in EPS bodes well for the dividend, as does the low payout ratio that the company is currently reporting. Our Thoughts On PriceSmart's Dividend In summary, it's great to see that the company can raise the dividend and keep it in a sustainable range. On the plus side, the dividend looks sustainable by most measures but it is let down by the lack of cash flows. This looks like it could be a good dividend stock going forward, but we would note that the payout ratio has been at higher levels in the past so it could happen again. Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company. As an example, we've identified 1 warning sign for PriceSmart that you should be aware of before investing. If you are a dividend investor, you might also want to look at our curated list of high yield dividend stocks. Have feedback on this article?

PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) will increase its dividend from last year's comparable payment on the 28th of February to $0.63. This takes the annual payment to 1.2% of the current stock price, which is about average for the industry. View our latest analysis for PriceSmart PriceSmart's Projected Earnings Seem Likely To Cover Future Distributions We aren't too impressed by dividend yields unless they can be sustained over time. However, prior to this announcement, PriceSmart was quite comfortably covering its dividend with earnings and it was paying more than 75% of its free cash flow to shareholders. However, with more than 75% of free cash flow being paid out to shareholders, future growth could potentially be constrained. If the trend of the last few years continues, EPS will grow by 12.2% over the next 12 months. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 45% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.NasdaqGS:PSMT Historic Dividend February 13th 2025 PriceSmart Has A Solid Track Record The company has an extended history of paying stable dividends. The annual payment during the last 10 years was $0.70 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was $1.16. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5.2% a year over that time. Dividends have grown at a reasonable rate over this period, and without any major cuts in the payment over time, we think this is an attractive combination as it provides a nice boost to shareholder returns. The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow The company's investors will be pleased to have been receiving dividend income for some time. It's encouraging to see that PriceSmart has been growing its earnings per share at 12% a year over the past five years. PriceSmart definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio. In Summary Overall, it's great to see the dividend being raised and that it is still in a sustainable range. On the plus side, the dividend looks sustainable by most measures but it is let down by the lack of cash flows.

We recently published a list of Top 8 Discount Stores Stocks For 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) stands against other top discount stores stocks for 2025. When Donald Trump announced tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, stocks of most of the retail stores went down. The tariffs are likely to increase inflation and hurt the country’s economy if they continue for the duration of Trump’s term. For investors, it is vital to keep an eye on companies that are either taking a hit on revenue directly through tariffs or losing popularity among consumers in the foreign countries involved. Some companies can take a financial hit better than others. Take for instance a company that makes branded clothing. Such a company can raise the prices of its products and its loyal consumers won’t mind. Now imagine a retail store that sells the same product. When consumers see a 10% rise in the price of the product, they blame the store, not the brand. It is the retail store that loses value in this case and that’s why the tariffs hurt them, even if they aren’t directly exposed to China. We decided to take a look at 8 discount stores as investments in 2025. To come up with our list of 8 discount stores as investments in 2025, we only considered stocks with a market cap of at least $2 billion.Is PriceSmart Inc. (PSMT) The Top Discount Stores Stock For 2025? Aerial view of a large discount store showcasing its vast selection of products. PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) PriceSmart Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) runs and manages a chain of US-style membership warehouse clubs. It offers private label and basic non-consumable and consumable products. The company provides groceries, electronics, seafood, produce, sporting goods, home furnishing products, and other products. Even though the stock gained 20% over the course of a year, there was considerable volatility along the way. This makes hunting the stock on dips an interesting exercise at these valuations for investors. PriceSmart (NASDAQ:PSMT) is often dubbed the Costco of Central America. It has loyal customers that total 1.9 million, healthy foot traffic across its stores and is spread across the continent, though most of its stores are in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. The company has healthy gross margins of around 17%, which are made even more attractive by a membership model that allows the company to receive predictable, consistent, and recurring revenue. The quality of the management can be judged by the fact that its operations require low working capital and are well-supported by healthy cash flows. The company is a buy for anyone looking for Central America exposure while local stores in the US struggle to deal with Donald Trump’s new policies. Story Continues Overall, PSMT ranks 3rd on our list of top discount stores stocks for 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of PSMT as a leading AI investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is as promising as PSMT but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

Declaration of Cash Dividend On February 6, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend in the total amount of $1.26 per share, with $0.63 per share payable on February 28, 2025 to stockholders of record as of February 18, 2025 and $0.63 per share payable on August 29, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2025. This represents an 8.6% increase over last year's $1.16 per share dividend, which was paid in two $0.58 per share installments. The decision to increase the annual dividend by 8.6% by the Board of Directors reflects the Board's confidence in PriceSmart and the strength of its cash generating activities. PriceSmart anticipates the ongoing payment of annual dividends in subsequent periods, although the actual declaration of future dividends, if any, the amount of such dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates is subject to final determination by the Board of Directors at its discretion after its review of the Company's financial performance and anticipated capital requirements, taking into account the uncertain macroeconomic conditions on the Company's results of operations and cash flows. Annual Meeting Results At the annual meeting of stockholders, eleven nominees were elected to the PriceSmart, Inc. Board of Directors. Each director elected will continue to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of PriceSmart, or until the director resigns or a successor is elected or appointed. The following directors were elected: Sherry S. Bahrambeygui, Jeffrey R. Fisher, Gordon H. Hanson, Beatriz V. Infante, Leon C. Janks, Patricia Márquez, David N. Price, Robert E. Price, David R.

If you buy and hold a stock for many years, you'd hope to be making a profit. Furthermore, you'd generally like to see the share price rise faster than the market. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT) share price is up 49% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. On a brighter note, more newer shareholders are probably rather content with the 21% share price gain over twelve months. So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Check out our latest analysis for PriceSmart While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). During five years of share price growth, PriceSmart achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 12% per year. The EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 8% over the same period. Therefore, it seems the market has become relatively pessimistic about the company. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).NasdaqGS:PSMT Earnings Per Share Growth February 3rd 2025 We know that PriceSmart has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? You could check out this freereport showing analyst revenue forecasts. What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, PriceSmart's TSR for the last 5 years was 60%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective PriceSmart provided a TSR of 24% over the year (including dividends). That's fairly close to the broader market return. Most would be happy with a gain, and it helps that the year's return is actually better than the average return over five years, which was 10%. Even if the share price growth slows down from here, there's a good chance that this is business worth watching in the long term. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for PriceSmart you should be aware of. Story continues But note: PriceSmart may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this freelist of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).

Release Date: January 10, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Net merchandise sales for the first quarter increased by 7.8% or 8.2% in constant currency, indicating strong sales growth. Membership accounts grew by 4.8% compared to the prior year, reaching over 1.9 million accounts with a high renewal rate of 87.8%. The private label brand, Member Selection, represented 27.7% of total merchandise sales, showing a 50 basis point increase from the previous year. Digital channel sales increased by 21.1% compared to the same period last year, reaching a record high of $69.4 million. Investments in technology and distribution infrastructure are expected to enhance operational efficiency and sales growth in the future. Negative Points Total gross margin for the first quarter decreased by 20 basis points to 15.9% compared to the previous year. Net income for the first quarter was slightly lower at $37.4 million compared to $38 million in the same period last year. Currency conversion costs increased, impacting financial results, with a $3.4 million expense noted in the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities decreased to $38.5 million from $41.1 million in the prior year, partly due to shifts in working capital. Challenges in converting local currency to US dollars in certain markets, such as Trinidad and Honduras, limit financial flexibility. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you explain the currency conversion costs and whether only Honduras currencies were converted during the quarter? A: Michael McCleary, CFO, clarified that both Trinidad and Honduras currencies were converted. However, more local currency was generated in Trinidad than could be converted, leading to the observed balances. Q: What is the future of the export business, especially after losing the Philippines market? A: Robert Price, Interim CEO, stated that the export business will not go to zero. A new division focused on export sales has been established, targeting countries without PriceSmart operations. The company is working with new customers and developing agreements to grow this segment. Q: What are the goals for the private label business, and how much can it grow? A: Robert Price, Interim CEO, emphasized the value of the Member Selection brand, which is in demand, especially in export markets. While they haven't set a specific target as a percentage of total sales, there is significant potential for growth without eliminating too many branded products. Q: Can you provide more details on the increase in cost of goods sold (COGS) as a percentage of sales? A: Michael McCleary, CFO, explained that the increase was primarily due to aggressive pricing strategies in electronics and big-ticket items, particularly in Colombia, where currency depreciation affected margins. Story Continues Q: What are the expected outcomes of the technology investments by the end of fiscal year 2025? A: Robert Price, Interim CEO, noted that while some efficiencies might not be realized immediately, investments in back-office technology, point-of-sale systems, and online business are crucial for future growth. The focus is on improving operational efficiency and enhancing the member experience. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Returns On Capital Are Showing Encouraging Signs At PriceSmart (NASDAQ:PSMT)If we want to find a stock that could multiply over the long term, what are the underlying trends we should look for?

If we want to find a stock that could multiply over the long term, what are the underlying trends we should look for? Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. Speaking of which, we noticed some great changes in PriceSmart's (NASDAQ:PSMT) returns on capital, so let's have a look. Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) Just to clarify if you're unsure, ROCE is a metric for evaluating how much pre-tax income (in percentage terms) a company earns on the capital invested in its business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for PriceSmart: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.16 = US$223m ÷ (US$2.1b - US$708m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to November 2024). Thus, PriceSmart has an ROCE of 16%. On its own, that's a standard return, however it's much better than the 11% generated by the Consumer Retailing industry. See our latest analysis for PriceSmart NasdaqGS:PSMT Return on Capital Employed January 12th 2025 In the above chart we have measured PriceSmart's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for PriceSmart . What The Trend Of ROCE Can Tell Us We like the trends that we're seeing from PriceSmart. Over the last five years, returns on capital employed have risen substantially to 16%. The company is effectively making more money per dollar of capital used, and it's worth noting that the amount of capital has increased too, by 31%. The increasing returns on a growing amount of capital is common amongst multi-baggers and that's why we're impressed. Our Take On PriceSmart's ROCE All in all, it's terrific to see that PriceSmart is reaping the rewards from prior investments and is growing its capital base. Since the stock has returned a solid 49% to shareholders over the last five years, it's fair to say investors are beginning to recognize these changes. In light of that, we think it's worth looking further into this stock because if PriceSmart can keep these trends up, it could have a bright future ahead. On a final note, we've found 1 warning sign for PriceSmart that we think you should be aware of.
