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.

WATCH
If Bell Canada (BCE-T) is sold, you have to consider where the money is going to go. This could be a likely stock and you could consider a partial holding. A quality, long-term holding.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Expect this will split sometime before the end of the year. One of his favourite retailers. Particularly likes their Mark’s Wearhouse division, credit card division and their 20-20 program. Would look to buy around $73-$74.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 27/06. Up 13.5%.) Lousy winter because of the warm weather. Very well managed. Great job rolling out their new stores. Did a fabulous job in acquiring Marks Wearhouse. Would still buy at this price.
TOP PICK
Has historically had a market peak of 2.5 X book value, and is currently at 2. Because the book value is growing fairly quickly, you are getting about 10% per year. His FMV is over $100.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Had a disappointing quarter, entirely weather related. With the recent cold snap, he expects sales have picked up. Would prefer it at $70-$71.
BUY
Has some room to go on the upside. Had a soft quarter due to the warm winter.
BUY
They dominate the market in their field. Reported poorer numbers do too weather related issues.
TOP PICK
Trading at 14 X 2007 numbers, which is relatively cheap. Have an incredible amount of real estate and hedge funds periodically would like them to realize value on it. Every time there are rumours, it creates a good trading opportunity.
HOLD
One of the best managed Canadian retailers. Very good stock for most of 2006. Valuation has got a little bit ahead of itself. For longer-term investors, it is that Hold. Near-term, the valuation will probably keep it a little under wraps.
DON'T BUY
Fundamentals are good and managements done a good job. Their bigger format stores are all working out. Mark’s Wearhouse is doing well. Valuation is at the upper end.
HOLD
Did a great re-structuring of the company. Have maintained the growth pretty well. Less cyclical than it used to be, so any downturn won’t affect it as much.
DON'T BUY
Has done extremely well. Has met the competition. A little overpriced at this time.
BUY
Ranks very well in his work. Has very strong margin and asset turnover growth.
HOLD
Have grown their business and have done well. A great brand name.
HOLD
Feels the consumer is getting a little strained right now. The valuation is at the higher end of the range. We'll be a little bit more grinding going forward.
