Bombardier Inc (BBD.B-T) has garnered positive attention from experts, largely due to its impressive turnaround and focus on the aerospace and defense sectors. Analysts highlight the company's strong balance sheet, robust order growth, and expansion in the services division, which has shown significant year-over-year increases. Although concerns about capital intensity and economic sensitivity of private jets remain, many see promising catalysts such as government contracts and a growing international market. Some analysts indicate that while Bombardier has been performing well, the current valuation may suggest a cautious approach, recommending to trim positions rather than add to them, especially after substantial price increases. Overall, there's optimism for continued growth amid the evolving market landscape.
Has spent a lot of time, effort and money on the C series, which is a larger plane than they have made in the past. It still hasn’t received a lot of traction. They are making a very big bet on this. Without the C series being successful, it is hard to see the stock doing well. Too much debt and too many issues.
Likes the aerospace cycle, but feels there are a number of better ways to play it then this, but this is a very good growth company. It all hinges on the C series. 1st flight occurred about 2 weeks ago and was a success. Feels management is expecting about 300 firm orders in the next 12-18 months. As orders come in and the platform matures, there will be a tremendous amount of cash flow being generated. He could see share buybacks and dividend increases as a result. You will have to be patient with this. 2.1% dividend yield. (See Top Picks.)
Not a winner at this point. Margins are still at 2009 levels. Leverage is still far too high. Cash flow is too weak. For margins to recover. They are going to need higher volumes and more than just a couple of product lines. Trades at a discount to the aerospace group by about 15%, but given his previous comments and execution risks, he can’t see it going anywhere.
Although their flight was successful, the stock dropped. This is a case of Buy on Rumour and Sell on News scenario. Chart shows an upward trend from late 2012. This is going to be a bit of a wild ride. If it gets above the $5 mark, there is a lot of room up to the $7 range. He expects there would be support in the $4.72 area with the next level being at $4.32. If you are a long-term holder, he would stick with it.
Waiting for the C series to get off the ground and with the delays along with everything else, he did not take a position in this one. (Stock has shown that other people have more faith.) On the basic business, rolling stock of subways and trains, they do an excellent job but it is very low margins. The risk on the airline side is fairly high. Have just signed some contracts for some sales and it may be that this is the time the stock will really take off.
