Exchange Income Corporation (EIF-T) has garnered positive sentiment from various experts, emphasizing its strong business performance and overlooked potential by institutional investors.

CAI,CAI

BUY

It invests in aviation and pays a good dividend of 4.8%. It is good to hold for the long term. You could buy above $56 since it should go much higher.

BUY

In another base. Nothing wrong with the chart. A good stock to hold and collect the dividend. Boring, safe-looking chart. He wants to own safer stuff like this right now.

HOLD

Does not own shares.
Strong Canadian company within aerospace sector.
Share prices have been excellent over past 5 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 23/22, Up 36%)

Executed very well. Recent acquisition looks accretive. Defensive cashflows, nice dividend. Reasonable valuation at 11x 2024 earnings, with 10% growth rate. Still room for upside.

COMMENT

EIF is a grab-bag of companies and it grows by buying companies. he just met with them. They have a great, long track record of buying companies, cash-flowing them, paying rising dividends, and he likes this. Problem is risk lies with a few top managers to buy good companies--how long can this last? Great managers. Good for you if you bought it, but too risky for him, at least for now.

TOP PICK

Aerospace parts and manufacturing. Assets mainly out West. Generates hundreds of millions of dollars in free cashflow every year. At a nice inflection point, where valuation doesn't fully reflect demonstrated free cashflow conversion from franchises. Really nice yield of 5.21%. (Analysts’ price target is $61.18)

HOLD

Keeps getting better. Recent acquisition solidifies earnings profile. Trades reasonably at 10x 2023, modeling growth rate of 29%. Very attractive on price to growth, nice dividend with growth which is impressive. Not that liquid, so it can be whippy. Could have been a Top Pick today, but he didn't want to chase the run.

TOP PICK

Cheap, with a catalyst. He expects a rebound in the areas they're in: aviation and manufacturing. Trades at 11x 2023 earnings, 23% EPS growth rate. Balance sheet OK, because of government assistance. Management is confident on 2022. Very nice dividend in this noisy market, comfortable payout ratio. Risk/reward looks good. Yield is 5.49%. (Analysts’ price target is $51.82)

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Highly cyclical and have significant debts. Their air business has little to no competition. Fundamentals are looking good here. Valuation is a bit pricey at 16.3x forward earnings and 1.1x forward sales. The industry is recovering and growth is expected to resume. Dividend record is solid.

BUY

Investors buy it for income. It is a very diversified company. This is not a bad add-on company if your portfolio is indexed too closely to the TSX in general.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. There is no recent news to account for the recent weakness. The stock is still up 42% over the last 52-weeks. It will report November 11, and is expected to beat estimates like last quarter. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Does not think there is a risk of a dividend cut. Assets being held include aviation in remote northern communities, industrial businesses and they keep adding to it. It is a junior, private equity arm. An acquisitive player. Yield is competitive and it should grow. Good company, good management team with good operating strategy.

HOLD

The dividend is safe. He doesn't say much about exchange companies. The best he can say is that this is a hold.

BUY

It is a good cyclical play. Trading at a premium but the earnings will likely come up. A whippy stock. Much better outlook for manufacturing and aviation. Should not be a core position but it is a recovery play.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company beat estimates with EPS at 30 cents against 15 cents estimates. Revenues beat by 7% at $300.7M. Revenu fell 2% yoy but cash flow improved sharply. Payout ratio is down to 62%. Results look good. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free
