Looking for a good growth story that is trading at a discount? USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (USNA) could fit the bill. Management and analysts are optimistic and shares are looking like a buy here.

Company Description

USANA develops and makes nutritional, personal care, and weight-management products that are sold around the world.

Beats and Raises

On Oct 25 USANA reported third quarter results ahead of expectations. Net sales were up 6.3%, to $143.5 million. Management said the increase was due to growth in the Asia Pacific region.

Net earnings were off 3.6% to $12.4 million due to higher operating expenses, seen in higher associate incentives. But the earnings on a per share basis were still up 2 cents, to $0.81. That was also 5 cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Management went on to raise full-year sales and earning targets as well.

Estimates Rising

After the news analysts quickly raised estimates as well. Analysts polled by Zacks are now expecting EPS to hit $3.21 on average for this year. That is up 13 cents since the surprise.

Next year's consensus is up 18 cents, to $3.50. With earnings hitting $2.86 per share in 2010 the projected growth rates stand at 12% for 2011 and 9% for 2012.

Priced to Move

Shares of USNA are trading with great valuations as well. The forward P/E is just 10 times the 2011 consensus, and with an 18% long-term growth rate the PEG is just 0.6.

The price to sales is also at 0.6 times and the stock is going for roughly 3 times the book value.

The Chart

Even though the fundamental story seems to be improving, investors have not bought in just yet. But with the valuations and earnings growth it should only be a matter of time before they flock to this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy).
