Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. (CTC.A) has garnered mixed reviews from experts over the past several years. While the company is deemed solid and has shown an improved performance with a reported 38% increase in EPS year-over-year, some analysts express cautiousness regarding its valuation, particularly in light of broader economic concerns affecting consumer spending. Several experts favor retailers with more defensive profiles, such as Dollarama (DOL) and North West Company (NWC), citing Canadian Tire's substantial reliance on discretionary spending, which may diminish in a weakening economy. Additionally, the stock appears to be undergoing a transformation, with momentum showing in recent quarterly results, yet analysts advise taking profits and maintaining a wait-and-see approach. Overall, the stock presents a mixed outlook, influenced by its transformation efforts and the cautious sentiment around the Canadian consumer market.

DOL

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) A lot of things are holding its support.

BUY

Very special Canadian company. Very diversified range of goods. For long-term, this makes a lot of sense.

SELL

Reporting tomorrow. A lot of people are reducing their estimates. Coming down to the $37-$38 support level. Worried about the retail sector because of competition. Wouldn't be surprised to see it trading at $35 in the next 6 months.

HOLD

Expects modest growth over the next 2 to 3 years. Getting into the food business in a limited way, which he finds quite strange. Have done a fairly decent job in terms of shifting some products around and revamping stores. Mark’s Work Warehouse operation is good and is adding value.

COMMENT

Good Short? Thinks all retailer businesses to him are going to be terrible. Consumers are going to spend less. If you're trading directionally, it is probably not a bad short over the next year. Pick your spot in a relief rally.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/07. Down 41%.) 3rd quarter was better than expected. Like all retailers, the stock has been hammered. Will probably have a tough 4th quarter.

COMMENT

Great defensive play. Growth rates are slowing so they continue to look to the US market for growth, which has always been a problem with them. Thinks it is going to be a difficult retailing environment so they are looking at having some groceries. Low margins and Wal-Mart is in the same neighbourhood.

N/A

Had an earnings miss. Growth rate is slow. Not a lot of driver there. Cars are built more reliably but one could argue that people might repair them themselves.

DON'T BUY

Had a double top at around $85. (A true double top is tremendously bearish.) Below its 200-day moving average. Wouldn't get involved yet. Needs to find a base and the 200-day moving average to flatten out. Also needs a different economy.

COMMENT

Have downgraded their earnings and they won't have flat to negative earnings this year. Ontario economy is slowing down and this is a big chunk of their earnings. Stock is quite cheap.

WAIT

(Market Call Minute.) Having a really tough time here and a tough quarter. Statistically cheap so may be OK for a 5year view. Wait a few quarters out.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Cannot get his head around any of the Canadian retailers. Wal-Mart (WMT-N) will not be good for any Canadian retailer.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Had a fairly healthy pullback and should proceed well. Good valuation.

DON'T BUY

Great Canadian company. Stock has been very disappointing. Retail discretionary spending is going to be challenging. Faced with increasing competition. The revenues that come from their financial services will be vulnerable.

COMMENT

Great, long-term franchise. Has been hitting 52-week lows. Under pressure due to the weakening Ontario economy. There is also a lot more competition. Getting to a point where it might be interesting as a Buy.
