Tootsie Roll: How Sweet It Is

Tootsie Roll is undervalued with a current P/E ratio of 22.2X, significantly below its historical averages, and a fair value estimate of $40.80. The company has iconic brands, a solid balance sheet with no long-term debt, and performs well during economic downturns. Tootsie Roll offers a 1.21% cash dividend yield and a 3% annual stock dividend, making it attractive for income and dividend growth investors.

Protect Your Portfolio With Tootsie Rolls

Tootsie Roll survived the 1987 stock market crash, 1990 Gulf War, 2000 Dotcom Bust, 2007-09 Great Recession, 2020 Pandemic, and aggressive 2022 Fed tightening with minimal impact. The company's low debt profile, high profit margins, steady operations, and defensive trading characteristics make it an attractive option during market downturns. A 10-year low valuation setup is now available, with financial ratios uncommonly trading at par to discount readings vs. S&P 500.
