Brian Madden Bombardier Inc (B) BBD.B-T BUY Jan 17, 2025

Believes fundamentals will remain sound for 2025, so makes sense to add. Not looking at an imminent recession, at least not one that will impact this name. Reasonable value here.

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 like TDG.
