FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund Steve Scruggs | “Ingles Markets (IMKTA) is a Southeastern regional grocery chain with roughly 200 stores. The grocery operations are well run with a focus on community and customer loyalty in underserved rural markets. In addition, Ingles is asset-rich – they own most of their properties as well as almost five million sqft. of shopping centers leased to third parties. The company has little financial debt and trades at an attractive valuation. BSD Analysis: Ingles Markets is the ultimate deep-value real estate shell disguised as a low-margin regional grocer, where the public valuation fundamentally ignores the massive intrinsic value of its land holdings. The true investment thesis is a hidden asset play based on its extensive ownership of prime retail real estate, with internal research suggesting its land reserves are drastically understated, potentially by over 20 times the book value. This ownership insulates it from rising rental costs and provides a generational operating cost advantage over competitors. Furthermore, its vertically integrated self-distribution model acts as a powerful operational moat, driving superior inventory management and cost control in a fragmented market. Buying IMKTA is a low-risk bet on a structurally defensive staple business that is currently trading at a significant discount to its eventual liquidation or private market value.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
