CCL Industries (B), known for its extensive label production, is perceived as a stable yet unexciting business with a diverse customer base spanning multiple sectors such as automotive and electronics. Analysts express confidence in the company's strategic growth, particularly its successful track record in acquisitions and share buybacks. Recent financial results portray a positive trajectory, and experts highlight the potential for further organic growth and market expansion. However, some analysts caution that the company is not experiencing the same robust roll-up strategy as before, indicating a more tempered outlook in the near term. Despite mixed sentiments, the overall sentiment leans towards a positive long-term growth focus, supported by a strong balance sheet and operational efficiency.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 13/19, Down 28%) He sold in November. It was enormously successful for him. But circumstances change. It stalled for 3 to 5 quarters.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 22/19, Down 22%) He sold back in February. He had owned it since 2003. He finally felt it was time to sell the stock. They made a number of not so lucrative acquisitions over the last few years and he felt it was time to move on to something else.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 07/19, Down 15%) The made an acquisition that was slow to yield returns for a couple of quarters. When they reported a slow down in Asia earlier this year, it may have been an early victim to effects of the upcoming pandemic. He thinks this may mean they are an earlier beneficiary to a post-pandemic recovery. He continues to like it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 04/19, Down 18%) It got hammered well before the COVID pandemic because they missed on hearings. They are benefiting as people go out and buy lots of stuff from Costco. They say there is not much impact from what is going on. He is still buying because it is quite attractive.

BUY

It is at EBV+3, down plus +5. His model price is $38.64. He would buy it at $36.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They have been beaten up. The lid is around $65. It had support at $50. It broke this support level, but it might be over-sold. It could be good for a short term trade.

HOLD

They just reported quarterly earnings a week or so ago and it was disappointing. They are a commercial packaging company with a global reach. They have been around for a long time. They are good at acquiring companies that add value. He would not be too concerned about the price pullback.

BUY

It is highly unusual for it to be down 17% in a day like last week. They are very global and diversified. He would not read much into it and at these levels he would see it as a buy. They have a rock solid balance sheet.

HOLD

This is a prime example of how stocks will correct sharply when earnings cause a stumble. The management team has always done well. Packaging is being impacted by the Caronavirus. He would be hesitant to sell it here.

TOP PICK

They're the top label-maker in the world. They are smart serial buyers. Good growth rate and trades under 20x earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $66.50)

TOP PICK

This has been a reliable name in packaging, well-run, profitable and a growth-by-acquisition machine. CCL boasts strong cash flows, a global presence, and a consistent earnings beats. It has returned 127% to investors over the last five years, with average annual revenue growth of 22.31%. But what happens when it doesn’t acquire, due to a global trade war? Or when it delivers a weak earnings report, like Q2 (though Q3 modestly beat)? Or when an acquisition goes bad? In fact, this is the state of CCL now. The stock got way ahead of itself and sharply pulled back mid-summer from a peak of $68. Even in early-October, James Telfser felt it was oversold, though he grew optimistic about CCL when America and China reached a phase one trade agreement in early December. Since then, CCL has been trading between $53-57. Jeff Parent expects the stock to rise in the next four months. Technical analysis offers more precise entry points: Javed Mirza and Keith Richards advises $52-53. As of January 3, CCL was trading at $55, very close. But Mirza would sell if CCL broke below $48, and Richards calls this a trading stock, not a long-term buy-and-hold. (CCL pays the highest dividend on this list, but only 1.22%, so you’re not buying these for the income.)

BUY

Performance has been disappointing, though it was home run before 2017 But managers are brilliant, making fine acquisitions. 2019 headwinds (i.e. tariffs) may be done this year as the economy improves. But it has grown its earnings and dividends--that rose expectations, which weren't met. Because of the managers, he is buying more.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Long-term in a non-registered account One of the better return-on-capital companies in Canada, and historically a strong performer. They've done well diversifying internationally. But CCL will get hit over fears of global growth. Also, a recent bad earnings report hurt the stock. Long-term, this is good to buy, now when the price is depressed.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Support at $53, resistance around $67. Now, it's near that bottom. You can trade within this range. Not a buy-and-hold.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

$52 is the level to step in. Don't buy now. This will re-test $52. Reduce exposure if it falls below $48.
