The Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. (CTC.A) is viewed as a solid but unexciting investment by several experts. While the company has shown notable growth, particularly with a recent 38% year-over-year increase in earnings per share, concerns about consumer spending and overall economic health persist, particularly given its discretionary nature. Analysts suggest that although CTC.A is undergoing a transformation showing positive results, it might be at its peak price target range, making it a good time to consider profit-taking. There is a cautious outlook on the stock due to its reliance on consumer sentiment, with comparisons drawn to competitors like DOL, which show more defensive characteristics in their profiles. It remains well-covered in the market, and while the dividend yield is solid, some analysts caution against initiating new positions in discretionary stocks like Canadian Tire amidst economic uncertainties.

WAIT
The long-term outlook for this company is fabulous. It is by far the best run public retailer in Canada. Near-term outlook is clouded because of economic weakness in eastern Canada. Their most recent quarter was disappointing and it was Ontario and Quebec. With housing possibly peaking and manufacturing coming down it is probably not the right time to Buy. If you are a long-term investor, wait a little while and then buy.
WEAK BUY
Recent acquisition Marks-Work-Warehouse has done well. Regarded as a quasi financial. If you have faith in Canadian economy then this looks good.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 7/07. Up 21%.) Picked as a safe stock that people could keep in their portfolios. Pays a dividend.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Everybody likes it. Everything is working well. It is a fairly recession proof consumer stock. He would like to see an entry point below the 70's.
TOP PICK
Outstandingly well-run company. His Fair Market Value is up over $150. The recent setback in the stock gave a good buying opportunity. Good balance sheet.
BUY
They are trying to institute some new strategies and are being fairly aggressive on their growth strategies. Trading at around 19X earnings. Doesn't expect they will be able to grow their banking business.
HOLD
Fully valued at this price.
BUY
Has been punished for no apparent reason except for general market malaise. Recent earnings were in line. Financial services arm was hurt a little bit but is an opportunity. Expects 15% earnings growth.
HOLD
Have done everything right. Lowered their costs. Distribution network is very good. Inventory control software is very good. A proxy for the Canadian economy. Should continue to do well.
BUY
Have hit a home run with Marks Wearhouse. There is a lot of un-capitalized value in their real estate. Had a terrific run this last year, but there is still a lot of value there.
BUY
Still doing very well. Have turned themselves into a bank. They are not going to be taken over. Doesn't own it but it's on their radar screen.
TOP PICK
Upside targets are 2.5 times book, it has peeked there 3 times over the last 25 years. Recently had spectacular quarterly earnings. Very well run company. Fair market value is $160, his target is $92. Canadian Tire has been a fairly reliable indicator of the Canadian market as well.
HOLD
Hard to buy on lows. Had resistance at around 66, once it breaks through then it becomes the support. If it drops below the 66 then you want to sell.
BUY
Have executed extremely well. Financial and is doing well as is Marks Wearhouse. A great play on rising consumer spending.
HOLD
This is one of her defensive names. A long-term hold. Doesn't see anything negative on the horizon.
