This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.
Badger Infrastructure (BDGI-T) is experiencing exceptional demand across North America, driven by a robust infrastructure super-cycle. Fundamental improvements have led to expanding margins, reflecting a solid earnings momentum in conjunction with elevated operating leverage. The company's strong performance is underscored by a rise in share prices, supported by a favorable outlook in utility upgrades and underground infrastructure spending. Despite a year-to-date increase of 70% and signals of good free cash flow generation, analysts suggest the stock may face some consolidation as investors take profits. With an attractive price/earnings multiple and a promising growth trajectory, BDGI is considered a strong long-term investment, provided that infrastructure spending maintains its current pace.
(A Top Pick Aug 28/13. Up 49.13%.) Expanding quite a bit in the US. Had an incredible run but still thinks it has a lot of room. Have grown 99% organically. They manufacture Hydro Vac trucks. Competition comes from traditional back hoe work, which is mechanical and can be quite damaging. This company does their work with water, which is less damaging and less intrusive. It allows them to do a lot more specialized work. They have a manufacturing facility that manufactures 3 trucks a week and are now expending to 5 trucks a week and are running at peak volume. They will do about $85 million EBITDA this year and probably north of 100 million next year.
Has had a fantastic performance over the last year. This is primarily because of the acquisition engine and acquisition pipeline that it has, particularly in the US. They have done a bunch of those and now is really the time for them to execute. It is now a little bit of a wait-and-see approach, given the run that it has had.
(A Top Pick May 23/13. Up 16.75%.) There is more room to run. Very strong quarter with EBITDA up almost 50% year-over-year. Half of their businesses in Canada and half in the US. Canadian business is pretty mature but is still growing at about 20% a year. They don’t have to fund any of their growth through dilution. Could probably increase the dividend. Trading on an 8X multiple but probably deserves a 10X multiple. Not volatile.
He likes splits. This thing is astounding. Bought not that long ago. It is the major in North America in its business. Prefers LNS-T
