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.

TOP PICK

Have been able to wothstand the compeition. Modernized their stores, spruced up their advertising. Makes a lot of money on their credit cards. A pretty good defensive pick.

BUY

The best run of the large retailers in Canada. Have a great market position in consumers minds. Long term oputlook is very good.

WAIT

A great retailer. Same store sales are up 2%. Getting more fully priced now. Would wait.

DON'T BUY

Weakness on the profit side, not well sourced profit growth and valuation is a little stretched so not too interested in it.

DON'T BUY

Have done a very good job and have executed incredibly well. From a fundamental point of view, the stock is fully priced. The risk is that a lot of the good things with the company have already happened, so where do they go for growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 23/04. Up 10%.) Still buying. Have several basic operations: retail stores, Marks Work Wearhouse and financial services. All sectors are doing very well. Their one soft spot is petroleum marketing.

DON'T BUY

Marketing has been very successful, but suddenly have hit a little pothole here. Stock had got expensive. Semi-negative on the retailing area.

DON'T BUY

Has a lot of respect for this company. Top notch management. Haven't lost any market share to Wal Mart or the big box stores. A little expensive right now. If it came down 15/20%, he would probably jump all over it.

BUY

A good argument can be made that this is Canada's premier retailer. Have withstood the challenge of Wal-Mart (WMT-N), surmounted it and gone from strength to strength. Make a lot of money on their credit card. Have modernized their stores and are now making money on their hard goods too. A bit expensive.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A spectacularily well managed company. Now have a new store format. Has been able to compete with the big box stores. A lot of growth potential with their Marks Works Wharehouse holdings. Stock's a little expensive.

BUY

Good business plan.

TOP PICK

Likes their strategy. They are doing a very good job. They have rising cash flow, rising revenue, rising margins. They're winning across all the categories. Using the strong Cdn$ to expand their global purchasing which ultimately puts them in a better position. (Not adding any new positions of any company to their portfolio at this time.)
