PSMT
PriceSmart, Inc.
PriceSmart exhibits a firmly positive 6–12 month price trend supported by bullish momentum indicators, while near-term action shows some intraday softness versus VWAP. Fundamentally, the company combines steady revenue and earnings growth with moderate leverage but operates with thin net and free cash flow margins. Valuation multiples are elevated relative to modest growth and cash generation, and short interest and short volume metrics point to a non-trivial level of positioning against the shares.

Black Creek Investment Management sold 473,785 shares of PriceSmart (PSMT) for approximately $69.20 million in Q1 2026, reducing its stake to 1,164,834 shares. Despite the trim, Black Creek maintains significant conviction in the company, with the reduction attributed to routine portfolio management following a strong 55.8% annual stock price run. PriceSmart's membership warehouse club model in underserved Central American and Caribbean markets remains the core investment thesis.

Why PriceSmart’s Discount May Not Last Much Longer

PriceSmart trades at a significant valuation discount (29x earnings) compared to peers Costco (50x) and Walmart, while demonstrating superior growth. The company reported strong Q2 FY2026 results with 9.7% revenue growth, 14.5% EBITDA growth, and 7.6% comp store sales growth. With low debt, strong cash generation, and aggressive dividend growth plans, PriceSmart appears well-positioned for continued expansion, suggesting its discount may not persist.
