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.

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.)
