Wednesday, office products distributor Staples (SPLS) fell by as much as 10% after the company reported its latest quarterly numbers. As a result, Staples now trades with a P/E of around 10 despite recessionary margins (that temporarily lower the “E” in P/E) and an operating history that suggests this company has a strong moat. For long-term investors, Staples may represent a very attractive buying opportunity at its current price, as it is likely to continue to generate strong free cash flow for years to come.
