TSE:BDGI
(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.
Doing a 3 for 1 stock split. Has been a remarkable performer. They have a great growth model. ROE is about 25%. Earnings are growing in the mid-20% range.
