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.

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.
