AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look for understandable businesses with durable economics and a price that leaves room for error. Willamette Valley Vineyards makes and sells wine through direct and distributor channels. The product is real, but the record is not that of a moat-protected compounder. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $10.0M and net loss was $1.4M. In fiscal Q1 2026, ended 2026-03-31, revenue was $8.3M and net loss was $565,073. For FY2025, ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $37.2M and net loss $917,685; FY2024 revenue was $39.8M with a net loss of $117,894. Losses in each of the last four years put it outside Peter Lynch's categories, according to the provided screen. FairStock calculates ROE at -3.31%, ROCE at -1.79%, and trailing free cash flow at -$116,322, with a -0.9% FCF yield. Debt-to-equity is 0.42, but the Altman Z-Score of 0.75 signals financial fragility. At the 2026-10-13 close of $2.72, FairStock's P/B is 0.63, Graham Number is $6.55, and margin of safety is 58.47%; the dividend yield is 7.05%. That is statistically cheap, but cheapness without earning power can be a trap. The preferred issue may appeal for income, but the company must first stop losing money and generate cash. Until then, I would treat it as a speculative turnaround, not a classic value investment.

In plain English: Willamette Valley Vineyards makes and sells wine, mainly through direct and distributor channels. The business has been losing money for years and is not yet profitable, though the shares pay a high income relative to their price. At $2.72, the stock looks cheap compared with its accounting value and a rough value estimate, but the weak profits make it risky rather than clearly cheap.
