Atco Ltd (ACO.X-T) is gaining significant attention for its modular housing segment, which is thriving due to government initiatives like Canada Builds Homes. Analysts highlight the company's strong logistics arm, particularly its stake in CU and its recent investments in infrastructure, such as the road and port development in Northern Canada. The stock has shown consistent upward trends since late 2023, indicating strong market support. Experts feel that the modular housing business will also benefit from rising utility demands and Ottawa's building incentives. Overall, the outlook for Atco is decidedly positive, with the potential for continued growth.
He believes there is a bubble in utilities. You are getting very marginal growth, if at all and paying 17 time earnings. They reported they underperformed their numbers. This is a safety stock and people are using it for safety, so it won’t affect this stock much right now. He doesn’t like utilities and pipelines.
Owns Canadian Utilities (CU-T) and some service assets out west. As interest rates went up a little bit, all the utilities got hit and this one went down with it. Very cheap stock. At some point, people will be in favour again for utilities. Prefers owning Canadian Utilities as it is a little more liquid and pays a higher dividend.
This is effectively a utility and benefited tremendously from the safety trade with bonds coming down from 4.5% to 1.5% 5 years ago. Stock recently dropped because of a rebalancing of portfolios. Expects we will only see higher interest rates for many years and this does not speak well for this company.

A very interesting company. As activity picks up, particularly out West, this is going to be good for them. They service a lot of industries, not just oil and gas, but forestry and so on. Company has been run very well over the years. Always looks a little expensive, but for people who have held onto it for a long period of time, they have done very well. On a valuation basis, he would not be jumping in today.
