Diamond Estates Wines and Spirits Inc. operates in a challenging market characterized by thin margins and heavy taxation. Experts note that while the company is fairly well managed, it faces significant headwinds due to changing consumer habits, particularly the trend of reduced alcohol consumption. There is a consensus that growth opportunities are limited, which may impact its future performance. However, the company does offer a decent dividend and typically does not trade at expensive valuations. Consequently, despite the operational challenges it faces in interprovincial trade, it remains a steady player in its industry with moderate expectations.

BUY

Wineries around the world damaged by weather Importing wines has cost more, given shortages and inflation for Andrew Peller, but DWS suffers a lot less. During Covid, they did suffer lower sales of course, but with the reopening, they will enjoy strong sales growth. DWS made two recent acquisitions in Ontario wine and Ontario cider. Lassonde of Quebec has bought 20% of this company; Lassonde expects to see higher margins in wine than their existing juices. When more retail channels open up in Ontario, he expects Lassonde to buy the rest of DWS, which would be a good move.

BUY

Well run company that is growing fast. 3rd largest shareholder of company. Company in growth mode with recent acquisitions. Expecting strong financial results in 2022. Share price presents good buying opportunity.

BUY

Results should be significantly improved. In acquisition mode again. He's waiting for news from Ontario on expansion of retail distribution. That would be huge for this company, which already has leading market share on grocery shelves. Expects inroads into Quebec.

BUY

He is the third largest shareholder. The business is improving significantly. Restaurant sales are increasing. They have benefited through increased sales in Ontario grocery stores, which is expected to double in the not-too-distant future. They announced two small acquisitions so they are back in growth mode. It is expected to do a reverse split.

HOLD

Great assets, great business. Results have held steady through the pandemic. Afterwards, lots of high margin areas should start growing again. Reasonably priced. Hang on or buy more. If it's taken out by the major shareholder, it will be at a significantly higher price.

BUY

He owns just under 10%. He thinks a 19% shareholder will buy up the rest of it at a premium in the near future. This is a small player in the wine market but at a much higher margin. Online sales and grocery store sales are booming. It is trading at one times sales, rather than the norm of two or three times sales. His target is $0.30-$0.40.

DON'T BUY

Lassonde buying 19% of the company was recent good news. However, the market cap is only $26 million (too small for him), there remains some debt, and the growth rate hasn't been spectacular. There isn't much trading here, which doesn't help. As a rule, he doesn't invest in companies this small. This will likely bounce in January. This stock isn't for everybody. He likes it more than before.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 10/19, Down 30%) He owns 10% of the company and recently added more on weakness. The stock has been down due to lower restaurant and bar sales, but retail and online sales are booming. He doesn't expect sales to be down that much this year. Cost cutting has widened margins. Lassonde bought 20% of the company last year, which has boosted DWS' sales force. He expects Lassonde to take over the rest of the company at some point, which should boost the stock price. He's in for the long run. Also owns Andrew Peller.

STRONG BUY

He owns under 10% of this company. A Quebec juice company bought 20% of this and plan to increase distribution of their wines across Canada. Bar sales and winery visits are down, but online sales are through the roof and so are Ontario liquor store sales, topping Ontario wine sales. Future distribution expansion will bode well. He bought a lot of shares recently.

BUY

He owns just under 10% of the company. They are expanding in the grocery channel in Ontario. They have diversified their exports away from just China. He thinks this will be the year where we see very good year over year growth comparisons. He thinks in the future a major shareholder will put in a bid to buy the rest of it.

BUY

He is not sure the company will stay public. A fruit juice company (LAS.A-T) has a 20% stake and could acquire it in 20-3 years for a much higher price.

TOP PICK

They are the only other publicly traded wine company. The stock is down because of a slowdown in exports to China. The retail wine space is booming because of deregulation that allows sale of wine in grocery stores. Retail wine sales are increasing. The big news was in July a juice company in Quebec bought a huge stake and will help increase sales through the grocery channel. He assumes if things go according to plan that it might want to buy the rest of the company down the road. He beefed up his holdings in the company. (Analysts’ price target is $0.28)

TOP PICK

There's been a drop in exports, namely to China, but they're growing their export volume again. They're doing very well in VQA Ontario which is rolling out 87 stores, and DWS has the largest market share here. The big news is that Lassonde took at 20% stake in the company and this will increase agency sales in Quebec. He expects Lassonde to buy the rest of the company. He just 3 million more shares to be the 3rd-largest shareholder. (Analysts’ price target is $0.28)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 27/18, Down 45%) Speed bumps recently. Chinese exports came down. Has regained shelf space at LCBO. Thinks we've seen the bottom. Sales growth has been phenomenal. Biggest market share in grocery channel. Dirt cheap. They're long-term shareholders. They're doing all the right things.

BUY

He owns just under 10% of the company. They are consolidating the industry. Last year was a transition year and they had a few hiccups. They regained all their shelf space at the LCBO. They are consolidating smaller players but could end up getting acquired down the road.
