Stock price when the opinion was issued
It had a big downtrend from late 2021 to late 2023. Like the rails, this has come off sharply of late. There's likely more downside coming. If the stock breaks above the August low around $115, you can add more. Now, we'll likely see a bounce to that $115 resistance, but doubt this will rise above that.
He just trimmed target due to additional capex. EBITDA up 10%, nice. He is worried about tariffs on this name. Always trades a bit pricey. Expects 11% EPS growth, trades at 19.5x. Could probably get cheaper, but good grower over time.
If you think tariffs will go away, good technical level to start nibbling at.
Air cargo. Solid management. 90% market share in Canada. Revenue has doubled over past 5 years. EBITDA has increased by ~$200M. Quality customers. 68 Canadian cities plus international charters. Volumes not as high as previously, but still making $$ and utilizing planes efficiently. When volumes pick up, won't need to spend capex on new planes.
Debt's come down. Very cheap. An unloved Canadian stock, so he's here to show it some love. Yield is 1.50%.
EPS of $1.62 beat estimates of $1.02; revenue of $250M missed estimates of $255M. EBITDA of $80.8M matched estimates. Revenue rose 8.1%. Earnings rose 56%. Commentary implied that 'more goods would be coming into Canada from around the world to mitigate the uncertainty of tariffs'. The stock had a good bounce on the news but remains down 20% YTD. It is decently-priced at 14X earnings but there is still some economic risk here. We think $83 would be a decent price.
