FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund Steve Scruggs | “JBT Marel designs and manufactures automated industrial food processing equipment used in poultry processing, food packaging, and beverage bottling. Holding an average trailing weight of 2.35%, the position detracted from performance during the quarter, allowing the fund to add shares on weakness. Food processing machinery provides high recurring revenue and strong customer stickiness, with aftermarket parts and service agreements generating roughly 50% of total revenue. Because food production volumes are inherently stable, long-term secular demand for automation and yield optimization remains dependable. While customer profitability concerns in the poultry segment created short-term quarterly earnings headwinds, the company's valuation multiple compressed below 15 times earnings, providing an attractive risk/reward profile. Upcoming catalysts include post-merger synergy realization between JBT and Marel, alongside a recovery in poultry capital expenditure. Key risks include extended protein producer margin pressures and delayed capital project commitments.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
