Atco Ltd (ACO.X-T) is experiencing positive sentiment among experts, particularly in its modular housing division, which is benefiting from Canada's housing and infrastructure initiatives. This sector is booming, and there is optimism for future growth due to rising demand. Additionally, Atco’s logistics operations, including a strong presence in Alberta and recent investments in South America, further support its growth trajectory. Analysts believe that the stock is well-supported and trending upward, making it a reliable investment option. With a notable yield of 3.08% and anticipated government incentives for building, many see this as an opportune time to invest in Atco, particularly given its consistent performance compared to more volatile stocks.
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.
