Here is what Miller Value Partners Income Strategy has to say about The Buckle, Inc. (NYSE:BKE) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“Another name with a nice dividend yield, attractive valuation and significant shareholder alignment is clothing retailer The Buckle (NYSE:BKE). Based in Omaha, NE, management owns almost 40% of the company and is shifting its focus to online sales. The company is very well run and has been onto something for a long time. In each of the last 27 consecutive calendar years, The Buckle has generated positive free cash flow (not “adjusted” free cash flow), something that few companies can say. Despite this track record, the company trades at a trailing free cash flow yield in the teens with a rock-solid balance sheet, in our opinion, and a highly aligned management team in Warren Buffett’s backyard.”
