* Long * Pairs Trade: *Long* CNK-N /*Short* CGX-T. Canadian long only managers always buy CGX-T as a recession proof business. It is a good company, but very expensive. It is twice the valuation of CNK-N. (Analysts’ target: $58.50). CNK-N is more focused on the cinema business. It has 3 times more screens. It is a bigger, more liquid name and has a better dividend yield. (Analysts’ target: $44.00).
It could just as easily have been CGX-T. CNK-N has assets in South America as well as the US. It trades at a lower multiple than CGX-T. We will get a better slate of movies for 2018. They are going into the luxury theaters. In Brazil you can raise your prices even when attendance is flat. It has a 3.4% yield and he thinks that is decent. They have the ability to grow and raise the dividend. (Analysts’ target: $44.00).
(A Top Pick Nov 19/15. Down 7.57%.) This is one that he is selling. He isn’t selling because of the general market drag down. He saw that it was breaking the downtrend, and look to put in a head and shoulders bottom, and bought it right on the breakout. It did okay at first, but then fell with the market. He is going to let it rally with the market in the next couple of weeks and then will get out of it.
