Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

DND is a highly volatile name, trading either up or down a lot on occasion without any significant news (none of note yesterday). Fundamentally, the company is trading at 7.1x Forward P/E. Management is aggressive in repurchasing shares, they cancelled 20% of the share outstanding within the last year. Management is implementing cost-cutting initiatives and DND expects revenue to recover when the real estate market comes back. Having said that, the leverage level is quite high, with the net debt/ EBITDA currently around 8.9x, and growth was mainly through acquisitions, which investors need to monitor as potential risks. Overall, the company is trading at the lower end of historical averages since going public. We would be comfortable adding at this valuation, but being cognizant of leverage and small cap risk.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't have the proven business model he's looking for.

BUY

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Management-led buyout proposal. Proposal at 7x IPO price last year. Revenue grew an impressive 300% YoY. High ROI leading to strong shareholder value. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Unspecified
It has not been getting its deals done and has experienced a rapid reduction in real estate transactions. It is doing a buyback since it is probably too cheap. Be careful and if buying, buy it in a taxable account where tax losses can be claimed.
WATCH
Previously announced issuer bid to purchase up to $150M of shares. Follows it. Pretty competitive market. Tough year, especially as SaaS. Many SaaS business models were very leveraged. (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)
HOLD
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Dye & Durham Ltd (DND) stock was down 26.2% on the month and 69.63% YTD. It is a leading provider of cloud-based software and technology solutions to improve efficiency and productivity for legal and business professionals. There have been no earnings announcements since May 12th and so the movement in the share price in August is due to the collective views of the shareholders. We need to await evidence that management has got its expenses under better control before the stock price will get on a rising trajectory.
PARTIAL BUY
Has owned shares in the past, but not at the moment. Is a good bet on the rebound of the economy (if you believe economy is going to rebound).
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Market sentiment continues to be weak. There has been a trend of many high growth names guiding for lower growth resulting in a massive drop in shares. At 6.8x earnings, it is very cheap. The risks are more than priced in at this point. Would be very comfortable at these levels with a 5 year+ time horizon. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK

A Toronto law firm has just slapped D&D with a $200-million class-action lawsuit. Lawyers hate this “disgusting” company for pumping up the cost of legal software. Now, I don't expect investors to shed a tear for lawyers. Regardless, D&D controls so much of this industry that they exercise uber pricing power. Perhaps too much, and that has thrown them in legal hot water that could hit their bottom line.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Management is confident they can meet targets, including higher prices. There is little concern for negative media attention. Shares are down after a large sell-off in tech in general. The risks are most likely priced in already. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. They have recently processed a large acquisition and increased prices to customers. Management is motivated to deliver shareholder value. Debt is rising, which is a main concern. Management has done a good job. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 08/20, Up 28%) Rocky road this past year when plan to go private was scrapped. Favourable recent acquisition has boosted the price. Strong product. A monopoly. He recently added.
WATCH
Is an attractive sector (software), however, caution on buying as strategic plan is flawed. Concerns on IPO and privatization plans.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The acquisition was significant at $500M. It should strengthen their strong position in the legal software space in Canada. A strong bold move that is positive for a long-term play.There are integration risks and there is a lot of new debt for the acquisition however. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Management decided against a buyout proposal to keep the company public. Some shareholders were disappointed and the shares have declined. Outlook remains good and earnings growth is positive. It should continue acquisitions as expected. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free
