Stockchase Opinions

Colin Stewart dentalcorp Holdings DNTL-T BUY Jul 11, 2025

Steady business. Purely domestic in Canada. Well run. Growing steadily organically and through acquisition. Biggest in Canada, but only 4-5% market share so lots of room to grow. Scale gives them synergies in tech and in purchasing equipment and supplies. Undemanding multiple at 9x EBITDA, big discount to US names. Could be acquisition target at some point.

Largest and fastest growing network of dental practices. 
Current share price a good price for long term investors. 
Dentistry business not going anywhere. 

WEAK BUY

Over time, expects it to be acquired by a big US player. Has been quite diligent not overpaying for acquisitions. Difficult to buy as many practices as they'd like. Pretty well run. Margins can increase step by step over time. Doesn't expect any big transformational news. Leverage is too elevated for his liking. Stable, predictable business.

DON'T BUY

Never owned this. They carry way too much debt.

BUY

Now has ~3-4% market share in Canada. Lots of opportunity to expand, as Canadian market is more fragmented than, say, the US. Entirely domestic, not exposed to tariffs. Essential service, most patients have insurance. Market didn't love its equity issue; stock's down 20%, so he's been adding. Good insider ownership.
