Meanwhile, the company’s stock has seen some anemic volumes and it is still a long way from the high of $9 it reached at the beginning of June. Why? I believe that US investors would prefer marketing in the US to be done by a local outfit so there were some positive responses to the rumors that G. Willi-Food may acquire such a company. I believe that this will eventually happen and the stock’s current price quite definitely reflects a buying opportunity. I also have a hunch, following on from Hank Greenberg’s assertion that “companies like G. Willi-Food are supposed to make good profit during wartime because of stockpiling by consumers,” that the company will post strong third quarter results.

The stockpiling suggestion is hogwash. (Hogs aren’t kosher, pun intended.) There haven’t been any signs of stockpiling in Israel, excluding a limited amount of bottled water in northern Israel and had there been stockpiling it would result in lower sales later on. I assume you are referring to Israel for there definitely has not been any stockpiling in the United States.
Willi-Food is going to have to compete on quality and price.
