This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts generally have a cautious outlook on Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC.A), highlighting its recent earnings improvement with a 38% year-over-year EPS growth and a transformation that is showing positive results. However, concerns over consumer spending and economic conditions in Canada linger, particularly as 60% of CTC.A's sales are discretionary. While its valuation at approximately 15x normalized earnings seems fair and has attracted analysts' price targets that range from $150 to $200, the company is still seen as facing challenges such as competition from e-commerce and discount retailers. Some analysts prefer stocks with more defensive profiles, suggesting a more conservative investment approach given the uncertain economic landscape. Overall, while CTC.A has solid fundamentals and a good yield, experts recommend a cautious stance or considering profit-taking at current levels.

BUY

Very much a consumer oriented company, which is why they are trading at low levels. They have growing earnings and the multiples would make it a great buy here.

HOLD

One of the countries great retail stories backed up by good real estate locations. In the short term, this and other retail stocks have been hit. Looking through to 2009/2010 you will see blue-chip stocks like this recover very nicely.

HOLD

Had disappointing earnings. Earnings continue to be driven by its Mastercard operation. Increased competition is coming. Wouldn’t Buy here.

BUY

A little bit in the doghouse. Had a lacklustre quarter recently. A great brand and he likes the business model. Has bottomed here and is very good value.

HOLD

Retail space in general is improving. This one looks a little better than others. Has been consolidating and will probably work its way higher over the next while. Will be less dynamic than some gas stocks, but this is a well-managed business.

WAIT

Very cheap at 12X or 13X earnings but you need the economic sensitivity to pass for a little while. Could be a fall for Christmas or a 2009 play.

HOLD

Struggling from investors’ sentiment because people are worried about the general strength of the economy. Trading at around 10X next year's earnings. Well diversified platform. Some people were worried because of its credit card portfolio and some were worried about it getting into the banking business.

COMMENT

One of the great Canadian franchises. Under pressure lately because of the tough retail environment in Canada. Housing market is slowing which impacts them to some degree. Have a lot of hidden assets such as real estate, credit card business. Trades at about 7X EBITDA. Like it from a long-term perspective and is looking at it. Finding other retailers that are cheaper such as Sears Canada (SCC-T) that trades at about 3X EBITDA.

DON'T BUY

A really well managed company. Great business. Unfortunately, it depends on people wanting to spend money on their homes and having money to spend. There will be a bit of a wait on this one.

DON'T BUY

In the retail sector, discretionary spending with a little tilt towards the hard end of retail which makes it vulnerable. The earnings have not fallen off but this is due to their finance side with credit cards. You can wait on this one.

COMMENT

Stock has pulled back because the market believes the consumer is tapped out. However, that is a US consumer. Wal-Mart is expanding into their areas. Trades at less than 10X earnings. Also have gas stations and a credit card business. Well diversified. However, their big growth is gone.

WATCH

Fundamentals are deteriorating and earnings estimates have been coming down. Would want to wait until there is some improvement in the fundamentals. He thinks the bottom is $57.85. Keep a close eye on the earnings estimates, which have been coming down. His model price dropped from $90 to about $75. He would buy a little more at $57.85, but if it substantially broke from there he would get out of the position.

DON'T BUY

Had a write up because of some asset-backed paper but part of the pressure on the stock is that a lot of retailers are weak in general. Would stand aside until you see some firmness in the area.

WAIT

Technically, it looks like it has a pretty well established downtrend. Would wait until it hits bottom.

COMMENT

Model price has been coming off as earnings estimates have been creeping down. Model price is $81.89. Was probably $92 in September $92. Under pressure because fundamentals have been coming down. When you see a turnaround in the Canadian economy, there could be some positive earnings estimates coming through. That's when the stock should either base or start to turn upward.
