Teal Linde Bombardier Inc (B) BBD.B-T BUY ON WEAKNESS Nov 04, 2024

In his momentum mandate. Best planes out there in medium- and long-range heavy aircraft. Sells to the rich, who keep getting richer, so there's an appetite for their planes. Sold off, probably due to fears of tariff vulnerability. Lots of manufacturing in Canada, though most customers are in US.

Order backlog is good. Supply chains problems are being ironed out. Executing very well. Going after defense and maintenance markets. Good cashflow and de-leveraging to support the shares.

The names on this list are plenty. Start with the industrials, for instance. He's a big fan of BBD.B, but they make everything here in Canada.

An aerospace name like CAE, the rails, auto components like LNR and MG.

The tariffs could be more troubling than their troubles in recent years. Half of each plane built includes US content. So, 25% tariffs would hurt their new orders. Is surprised shares have not pulled back more. It is a solid business, though.

It has been in a trading pattern and has pulled back. Tariffs could be more troubling than the troubles it has had in the past years. It should have sold off more than it has considering the risk. Otherwise it is a solid business and doing well.

Will be impacted if tariffs come through. In the aerospace sector, she'd rather own (and does) a more diversified company like RTX.

The question was on Bombardier being a good company for manufacturing military equipment and are there others in this field in Canada. He is not aware of other companies in Canada and although Bombardier does have a defense component it would be affected by tariffs.

Very focused on a single segment, private aviation. Increasingly, more revenues are coming from after-market parts and service. Bigger addressable market opportunities with the bigger installed base of its planes. 

Growing opportunity in small, but high-margin, segment where they adapt a plane's chassis to reconnaissance planes of NATO allies. Deleveraging, big free cashflow. No dividend. 

Continues to be an accretive growth story with deleveraging. Tariff noise was unexpected. Still, showing solid execution. Forward 2025 guidance appears achievable. Impressive ability to improve margins. Not expensive at 11x PE for 2026, growing at 17%. Not for the faint of heart.

Demand is off the charts. Bump in the road right now is about tariffs on parts, steel, aluminum. Much different business than before. Generating lots of free cash, balance sheet improving rapidly. Manufacturing is a tough business, and he'd rather a segment with more certainty with a stock like TDG.

Gaining altitude. Technological leadership in medium- and long-range aircraft. Order book looks pretty robust, production slate is full. After-market parts and service provide stable revenue. Airplanes can be repurposed for military use, and Canada's recently upped defense spending commitments.

Long and complex supply chain, and tariffs are still a wild card. So not out of the woods yet. Stock breaking out to fresh all-time highs speaks to its resilience and to worst-case tariff scenario probably not materializing.
