Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) is highly regarded among experts for its strong performance and potential for growth. The company, which specializes in transportation and industrial services, particularly in the Canadian Arctic, benefits from increasing defense spending and a growing backlog of projects. Many analysts highlight its healthy dividend, consistent revenue streams, and strategic acquisitions as key factors driving its long-term value. While the stock has shown substantial momentum and is trading near all-time highs, there are concerns about potential volatility and a market correction looming in mid-year. Overall, experts maintain a bullish outlook on EIF, with several recommending accumulation at lower prices.

Valuation

RSG, Waste Management

WEAK BUY

A nice up trend since January 2019 that has hit resistance around $42. Good support at $38 and then $36.50 (200 day moving average). If you own it, hold it. Buying is probably okay here. Yield 6%

BUY

He owns it in an income-seeking fund. Income generator, plus great total return performer. 20% compound annual rate of return since inception. Like a mini-BAM or mini-Onex. Very acquisitive. Good earnings grower and dividend grower. Regional airlines and light manufacturing. Very good management. Yield is 6%.

COMMENT

He met the company last year. Similar to DIV-T, comprised of many businesses, and you buy this for the dividend. There are some good businesses here, but valuing those companies can be difficult. Good for dividend investors.

BUY

A regional jet carrier, with different sub-businesses. An income play. They had difficulty covering repair and maintenance cost. Recently moved out of the pattern. Thinks that it can go up to $45. Possible capital appreciation and dividend play for longterm investors.

WEAK BUY

They just bumped their dividend by 4%. Has a 54% payout ratio. He models 12% EPS growth. It's cheap at 10.6x. He likes it. However, their balance sheet is 3.4x net debt to EBITDA. And it's a small name so vulnerable to market swings.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He was buying this around $28. They own airlines that fly into the First Nations lands. It is very well run. If it dipped into $35 he would buy more. It has a nice dividend with good growth.

COMMENT

Doesn't know this well. It had a big jump in late-February and has been rising since. This will be insensitive to interest rate moves. It's had a wild wild since 2016. Pays a dividend over 5%, but be careful buying a stock only for a dividend, because the stock price can be volatile.

TOP PICK

They're an aggregator with holdings such as aerospace and manufacturing. They've grown their topline over the last 5 years at 30% annually and bottom line 22% annually. He likes the managers. They're set up to make another big acquisition. (Analysts’ price target is $44.09)

COMMENT

They were once the victim of a short seller report and they came out unharmed. Companies that acquire a lot like they do tend to blow up but they have done smart acquisitions, and maintained and increased their dividend. It would be nice to see more insider buying.

TOP PICK

They focus on aerospace services. Payout ratio of 30%. ROE 16%. He expects 11% growth in earnings. He sees a 30% upside potential. Yield 6.1% (Analysts’ price target is $44.09)

BUY

He likes this name. They are modeling 20% EPS growth, 10% FCF growth. Pays a nice dividend easy for them to pay. Payout ratio of 60%. The only negative is that their balance sheet is a little too levered. The name doesn't get the respect it deserves. he think it is going higher.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 21/18, Down 7%) He thinks it will continue to grow through acquisition. It is a potential buy again. The payout ratio is 35%. Yield 7.5%

BUY

Just made a recent acqusition that's doing well. 78% payout ratio. 7% dividend is fine this year. Sees 20% EPS growth. 11x earnings, lower than 14x 4-year average. He likes it. It's held up really well when other industrials are getting killed. The one problem though is their net debt-to-EBITDA which is 3x. This is trending in the right direction.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick October 25/17, up 2%) The dividend yield is the driver of this name. Seems to have a hard time breaking the $35 resistance level, but if it does break through, he sees it going to $42.

WEAK BUY

Payout ratio is 78%, pretty safe. Modelling 20% EPS growth. Recent acquisition is performing well. Pretty cheap. Have had higher labour costs. Two things to watch: 1) very whippy, as it’s a small cap, 2) balance sheet, if we’re going into a recession. If we don’t have a recession for a while, you can do quite well. (Analysts’ price target is around $34.)
