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.

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.
