Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd (CTC-T) faces challenges as a retail stock due to the inherent difficulty of establishing a competitive moat in the sector, with the exception of giants like Walmart and Costco. However, the company has improved operational efficiency, making it an appealing option, albeit one that some experts view as more discretionary and sensitive to economic pressures such as inflation and fluctuations in oil prices. In contrast, some analysts prefer ATD, particularly noting its recent strategic partnership with Tim Hortons, which suggests a more resilient business model with a growing loyalty ecosystem. While Canadian Tire shows promise and is not perceived as expensive, concerns about big-ticket sales and tariffs slightly temper enthusiasm. Therefore, while CTC may hold potential, its discretionary nature in a challenging retail landscape raises questions about its momentum going forward.

COMMENT

It had basically been moving sideways but the downtrend is continuing so it is less appealing.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great brick and mortar company with history of success. Recent recession worries have been tough on company. 8x P/E multiple a good valuation to buy at. Excellent management team and balance sheet.

SELL

It is an amazing stock. Historically it has peaked 3 times at 2 1/2 X Book and then falls. It is back up to its peak again so time to sell.

Unspecified

It is well run but is competing against online shopping. It gives exposure to only the Canadian shopper and you should consider multinational companies with consumers better off than Canadian consumers who carry a lot of debt, the most in the world.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Company is a success story in the Canadian retail industry. Well managed company. As discretionary spending decreases, will be a risk. Costs of inventory will also be a risk (rising inflation). Secure dividend and strong financials. Would wait to buy on weakness.

HOLD

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Canadian Tire boasts a wide range of household goods at decent prices, but consumers will have much more choice in buying that patio set or baseball glove. True, last summer’s partial reopenings didn’t dent the stock price, but the Tire’s website still sucks. Price to cash flow is inline with its peers at 6.5x, though CTC stock’s PE of 13.4x is slightly higher than the industry’s 12.8x. Its profit margin of 5.8% is just below the industry’s 6%. Overall, not bad. Read Battle of the Stocks: 2021 Consumer Staples Stocks for our full analysis.

WAIT

It has been a big beneficiary of the pandemic as they were one of the few that were able to still operate. At-home and camping leisure benefitted them. It's good for long term growth but he would not put new money in today.

DON'T BUY

It has benefited as their stores were deemed essential services. Traffic has increased in the past year. It is trading at a reasonable multiple, but she feels they are limited in geographical scope.

BUY

It has not picked up to the same extent as HD-N. We are dealing with a general consumer related store whereas HD-N has benefited from the home renovation space because at home what else are you going to do with your day when shut in but renovate. As stores start to re-open again and assuming there are no setbacks, then he feels CTC-T stock will continue to appreciate. It is a solid company and much more diversified than it was ten years ago.

DON'T BUY

Iconic Canadian brand but operating in a very competitive space. Most products are AMZN-Q'able. They have the credit card business which brings in 25% of their earnings but it is essentially sub-prime lending. Loan losses are skyrocketing at a time when bankrupsies are skyrocketing. It is not timely from this perspective. They have been buying back stock but he thinks the runway for that is getting pretty short.

COMMENT

Voting share divergence? Split share structures can go wrong sometimes. The A shares, gives the founders a larger voting right. This could be an example of an activist voting issue. The CTC shares hardly trade -- only 200 shares a day approximately.

DON'T BUY

The short seller in the states, Spruce point, by going through their debt structure. They also said the company’s not moving fast enough into e-commerce. The short seller sees 50% downsides. From a technical perspective, they don’t do well in January. Resistance is around $160 and we‘ve pulled back.

BUY

Likes the company. There is a lot of negative sentiment around the name especially due to the Amazon effect. However, they are investing in proprietary brands which is positive. Their real estate and financial service is doing well. There is a lot of value here and is quite cheap.
