Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. (CTC.A) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a spectrum of opinions on its current performance and future prospects. The general sentiment indicates that while the company is solid and has demonstrated impressive growth in recent earnings, with a 38% YOY EPS increase and improved momentum, there is caution regarding the overall consumer spending landscape in Canada. With approximately 60% of its business being discretionary, experts are wary of economic challenges that may impact consumer confidence and spending patterns. The stock appears to be trading at fair value, and while some analysts recommend holding, others suggest taking profits as it approaches resistance levels. Long-term prospects remain positive, especially with ongoing efficiency improvements, despite short-term volatility concerns.

DOL

SELL ON STRENGTH

There is only so much they can do with their retail model. He has been waiting to lighten up for his clients that have this. You are looking at continuing tough competition.

BUY

Down 10% today Amazon has not a substantial impact on the bigger box stores yet -- Canadian Tire included. The stores remain busy. Consider them as trading opportunities. The fourth quarter is usually a good earnings time. If you can buy it today at a discount you should.

COMMENT

CTC.A vs CRT.UN? CRT.UN has had a nice upward breakout recently which is very positive -- you may have missed the upside move on this one. CTC.A-T has been in a choppy trading cycle since last December. It now seems to be showing some relative strength to the S&P Index. He would stick with CTC.A-T.

COMMENT

After 30 years in the business he notices that CTC has been the most consistently retailer--but too expensive. He's a value player. CTC has survived the Amazon onslaught, but it has slumped this past year given the Amazon effect. CTC has a great balance sheet and fine inventory control. They have the heart of Canadians. They will continue to do well, but the retail sector is tough now.

WAIT

The store seems empty to him where he lives. The Party acquisition has been dilutive, which does not help things. He does not own any retail at this time as he thinks soft economic growth will continue. He thinks we are 24 months away for a strong economic boost to incent him back into this one.

COMMENT

Easy to short a stock that's already been beaten up. Nothing in the numbers says they're having trouble. Last quarter wasn't great. Retail is tough. Looks cheap, buying back stock, trying for 10% EPS growth this year. He doesn't like retail against Amazon, which he owns. Could be a trade.

PARTIAL SELL

Worried about some investors shorting CTC. The credit card arm may worry some given high Canadan debt level. Also, CTC stock is expensive now. Canadian consumer confidence report today wasn't great. But shorting this is too aggressive.

COMMENT

There is a lot of short-term noise. Must look at the retail industry and evaluate risk. They have done a good job at protecting their customer base and they are starting to enter into the online space. The sell-off is probably over done.

DON'T BUY

It's looking a bit expensive. However, they have fantastic urban locations. The real estate itself is worth a lot. They haven't done anything different recently and Amazon is a big competitor. In danger of some market erosion. Right now it's around 15x multiple. Maybe should be around 10 times, so it could go down 30% from where they are right now.

DON'T BUY

Stay away. Retail is tough. At this stage of the cycle, a lot of things they sell are discretionary. If the cycle turns down, he wants to be in something more defensive. Longer term, you have to figure out how they can grow. Domestically constrained, and competition is increasing.

DON'T BUY

The problem he sees is that they are catering to people who are financially stressed. Their main target is homeowners who have repairs to make that are financially stretched. That group does not have the money to acquire things like the company needs them to. For now, it look vulnerable to him. He has not used their online system to make purchases, but is not convinced it is doing that great.

DON'T BUY

$137.22 is his model price, bang-on the current level. It's had a nice pullback, but this will be roadkill during a recession. He's lukewarm. Look at this at $110.

WAIT

It's mid-valuation. Nothing that exciting about it. Big fear was Amazon. Seems as though CTC is very special and hasn't been displaced by Amazon. Special niche, great franchise.

DON'T BUY

There are better growth names out there as they are limited to the Canadian consumer market only. They have an advantage on larger garden items over Amazon for savings in shipping, but it is not enough to entice her.

DON'T BUY

It's a consumer discretionary stock. Canadian consumption is up 7.7% the last quarter and is hitting a 20-year high. However, CTC is in a steady downtrend. Around $142 is resistance, a problem. His indicators are pointing down on this stock. There's also a lot of overhead supply, too. There must be something fundamental affecting this stock.
