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
Probably got a little ahead of itself and is now showing some weakness, but a good stock.
PAST TOP PICK
Canadian Tire has gone down. He still likes it and continues to hold it .
TOP PICK
He likes Canadian Tire and he is sticking with it. It has lots of upside. He has held this stock since the inception of the funds and has recommended it for years. He is still buying during weaknesses.
HOLD
Canadian Tire has come off because of their earnings forecast. There are concerns about what is going to happen to the home building part of their business. Canadian Tire retail accounts for two-thirds of the profits. Reasonable value. Long term prospects are good, but could tread water until they start to show growth.
HOLD
They don't own (they are more focused on resources, rather then retail). It's not a bad time to own, but he would have to check the evaluations compared to other retailers before buying.
TRADE
Canadian Tire has good numbers. The sales are up 11%. The dividends have increased. It is a stable company. He believes it is worth what it is.
WATCH
Watching it, but not buying yet. Has an order to buy at $62
BUY
One of your great blue chips. You not have to fear competition from the big box stores. Probably worth $10/15 from here.
BUY
Tremendously impressed with the management. Expect it will be $80 a little while from now.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 13/05. Up 11%.) Every market cycle, at about this time, it breaks out and heads for its usual long-term peak of about 2.5 X book. Phenomenal management. Still a Buy.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has a model price of around $78. Try to pick it up on weakness.
HOLD
A fantastic company. Excellent management. At another high and he hates buying stocks that are at their high. Probably a little late to be buying it.
DON'T BUY
Has been in a strong up trend for the last 5 years. This is late in the cycle for the consumer cycle and if the market is going to be weak into 2006/2007, he would be cautious about consumer stocks. The momentum is failing and he wouldn't be chasing this stock.
TOP PICK
Usally peaks at about 2.5 X book and has done so with great regularity in the past 25 years. This would place the stock at about $75/78. Typically a late bloomer. His fair market value is well over $120, so lots of upside. Doesn't expect it to get near that. If it got to $75/78 he would be delighted.
TOP PICK
Doing a great job of reformatting their stores in what they call a 20/20 concept which is basically getting more square footage. Same store sales of 3% to 4%. Has done a good job in the financial services area. Thinks they can grow earnings 12/15% over the next 5 years.
