For today’s bulletin, we take a look at one of our newest BUY stocks, SpartanNash (SPTN). SpartanNash Co. is a food distributor serving military commissaries and exchanges in the United States. The company’s core businesses include distributing food to military commissaries and exchanges and independent and corporate-owned retail stores located in 44 states and the District of Columbia, Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Azores, Bahrain and Egypt. It operates supermarkets, primarily under the banners of Family Fare Supermarkets, No Frills, Bag ‘n Save and Econofoods. SpartanNash Co., formerly known as Spartan Stores, Inc., is headquartered in United States.<\/p>\n

SpartanNash has faced a lot of ups and downs lately, as grocery store chains, like retailers in most categories, deal with the changing nature of their business. Like other retailers, grocers are under the gun from e-retailers such as Amazon.com as more and more consumers phase out trips to brick and mortar stores and do more of their sopping online.<\/p>\n

News of the proposed Amazon\/Whole Foods deal hit grocers hard, and SpartanNash was no exception. In the aftermath of that deal’s announcement, shares fell almost 10%–but recovered slightly in the aftermath.<\/p>\n

SpartanNash has been looking to the future and trying to adjust its business model so that remains agile in light of the Amazon threat. Like many competitors, they now have online ordering for easy pick up at stores. The company also inked a distribution deal with Amazon.com last year–if you cannot beat them, join them?<\/p>\n

Below is our latest data for SpartanNash (SPTN):<\/p>\n
