Boyd Group Services Inc. (BYD-T) is facing notable challenges, particularly with rising labor costs and increased accident volumes, which have affected its overall performance. Despite these issues, the company has shown signs of recovery, with positive same-store sales growth in recent quarters and improving margins. Analysts have mixed views; while there are concerns regarding labor shortages and expensive vehicle repairs to navigate, there are indications that the collision repair industry may have reached its bottom. Analysts are cautious about the gap between market perceptions and expectations, indicating the need for sustained improvement and stability before greater optimism can be warranted. There are expectations for potential M&A activity, although the landscape has become less fragmented, possibly affecting future growth trajectories.

DON'T BUY
Low dividend of 0.5%. They buy small auto repair shops across North America. A growth company. Trades at 25x earnings, not cheap. If the economy goes south, it'll put strain on them.
SHORT
He's short this. A lot of former income trusts have done a lot of buying because of cheap financing in recent years. This has driven their growth, but financining will continue to get expensive. Boyd has cash, but also debt. They may miss their next quarter.
TOP PICK
They just reported soft numbers but the stock went up. Auto collisions are reliable. They have $400M for acquisitions. It has been reliable for 10 years. Non-crashing autonomous cars are a long way away. (Analysts’ price target is $130.35)
BUY

A+ management. One of the best performers on the TSX for the past decade. They continue to take market share, but the multiple isn't cheap. They're the only stock to play collision repairs, which is a highly fragmented space. They make highly accretive acquisitions. He holds a big position.

BUY

Long owned this. There are two trends that could hurt Boyd: driverless cars that would eliminate car crashes (but that could be 15 years away), and new cars need new tech like lasers. Their advantage: insurance companies prefer one company with many locations than a bunch of small shops. There's a lot of room to grow here. Also, crashes are up.

COMMENT

Do you like the name considering cars now come with anti-collision technology? In 20 years down the road, that is going to be a factor. In the next 3 years, weather is more important for this company.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, Sept.18, 2017,Up 41%) A car repair chain. They're a consolidator in this space and now have covered in the U.S. Consistent ROE generators. A core holding.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 9/18 Up 17%) There is a strong CEO and management and he has owned is personally for years. They buy the smaller auto repairs outlets and the revenue stream is regular and recurring. The risk is self-driving cars in the future that will reduce auto repairs in general. The dividend has increased for 50 consecutive quarters.

BUY

A fantasatic chart. Nice positve action. Up 6% today. A quality name. Well-run. He really likes it.

BUY

Boyd is one of the top consolidators--it's in an industry with lots of mom-and-pop shops which are ripe for consolidation. There are hundreds of thousands of auto body shops across North America. Boyd came out of Winnipeg because this market has a monopoly public auto insurer. No insurer wants to deal with thousands of auto body shops, and this has benefiitted Boyd.

COMMENT

He once owned it and did well for him. It's a big operator of auto-repair shops. They've been acquiring a lot and consolidating. But they trade at a high multiple.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 6/17 Up 9%). They continue to do acquisitions and the business is growing. Everytime there is bad weather this auto-body business does well. Over the next decade their business may be threatened by autonomous driving vehicles.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 29/17, Up 30%) They have been very, very consistent over 10 years. Some think collision repair will become a thing of the past with self driving cars, but he disagrees.

TOP PICK

Although a boring story, he says he has been buying this for quite a while. They buy and consolidate auto body repair stores and don’t sell stock and get cheap debt – the earnings go right back into the business. They deal with insurance companies, who love this business model. He does not expect it to double in the next year, but 20% is likely. Yield 0.5%. (Analysts’ price target is $118.50 )

STRONG BUY

Loves it. They grow by acquisition. The U.S. will do better than Canada, and 95% of their business is down there. Their auto collision and glass repair business has benefited from recent inclement weather causing auto accidents.
