Andrew Peller, represented by the symbol ADW.A-T, operates in a challenging sector characterized by thin profit margins and significant taxation. Experts note that the company is fairly well managed despite the difficulties associated with interprovincial trade, which complicates operations. The dividend yield is appealing, and the stock tends not to be overpriced in the market. However, the overall growth outlook appears muted, largely driven by the societal trend of reduced alcohol consumption. This landscape presents ongoing headwinds for the company's performance, making it a cautious prospect for investors seeking growth.

TOP PICK

It's Canada's second-biggest wine seller. The stock is down 45% in the last three years, despite growing sales and earnings by acquiring new product and controlling costs. Good managers and brands, strong cash flow and boasts over 40% gross margin. Yet it trades at only 12x PE. Cheaper than U.S. wine IPOs. He expects ADW to report record profits and sales in coming months which should return shares to the mid/high-teens. Also, they're buying back shares. (Analysts’ price target is $16.25)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 24/20, Up 3%) It is a core position. It is one of two players in Canada. Top line growth slowed intentionally. They have done phenomenally well during the pandemic. They have done a good job reducing expenses.

TOP PICK

One of his core holdings. They are continuing to grow their margins. It is trading at a huge discount to other alcohol companies. (Analysts’ price target is $17.00)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 18/18, Down 8%) They made acquisitions and markets got ahead of themselves. Now things have settled down. It is a nice stable company and the dividends should increase over time. Stay with it.

BUY

Long-term holders. Love the company, management is fantastic. Bought some more recently. Came down on valuation. Great entry point at this price. Second biggest wine company in Canada. Putting a lot of money into marketing. Will start to see benefits of investing in brands as topline growth. Would hang on to this one.

COMMENT

He owns a bit of this, but prefers Corbys because it has a better cash generation ratio and pays a better dividend. He doesn't dislike ADW, though.

TOP PICK

He likes the business as in good times and bad times people go out for a drink with friends. (Analysts’ price target is $19.58)

WAIT

They are a Canadian wine story. They are growing by acquisition. As the market has gone through a correction, so has this stock. As the multiple corrects, he will be looking at it.

BUY

He bought at a lower multiple and the company has done well. He discussed the impact form cannabis with the CEO and they don't think there will be any. In the US there was a temporary impact on the beer industry. The prospects remain very bright with the sale of wine in grocery stores.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is his largest position. It has had quite a move to the upside recently. 3 analysts started covering the stock and they made an acquisition. They are very well managed and there is good growth in wine consumption. They also benefit where Ontario grocery stores are being encouraged to carry wine. Buy it on a dip and put it away. He does not think pot legalization will cut into wine consumption.
