The Motley Fool February 8, 2006 John Bluis	Wrigley Says "Chew on This" While the P/E ratio looks extremely high for a company expected to grow only 11% for the next five years, the stock hasn't been a true bargain for quite a few decades.

The Motley Fool August 3, 2005 Richard Gibbons	Wrigley: A Stock I'd Love to Own Even taking relatively optimistic assumptions, such as a 9% discount rate, 10% growth for the next 10 years, and 4% growth thereafter, an intrinsic value calculator shows that the stock is worth about $70, roughly its current price.
The Motley Fool July 26, 2005 Nathan Parmelee	Wrigley Gets Sweeter Wrigley reports a strong quarter but is short on the data to support it. In the end, Wrigley has delivered the goods for decades and doesn't abuse its shareholders.

The Motley Fool July 21, 2004 W.D. Crotty	Cadbury Schweppes Schlepps On It is the soft drinks and confectionaries company's strong brands and the expectation that it can expand its margins to at least match peer levels that keep the stock price selling at what looks like a premium multiple.

The Motley Fool October 26, 2006 Seth Jayson	Dueling Fools: Wrigley Bear This is a fine company selling for a not-so-fine price. You wouldn't slap down 20% too much for other items, and you shouldn't overpay for stocks, either.
The Motley Fool July 25, 2006 Nathan Parmelee	Wrigley's Chewed-Up Performance Wrigley's quarter isn't impressive, but this is a business that will endure.

The Motley Fool October 26, 2006 Chuck Saletta	Dueling Fools: Wrigley Bull Rebuttal This stock's still got plenty of flavor left. You rarely find a great company at a bargain-basement price. Your best bet is usually to purchase it at a good price, then get paid while you watch it grow.
