Extendicare Inc (EXE-T) is positioned well to take advantage of the shifting demographics favoring home healthcare and long-term care. Experts highlight its strong market position, particularly in Ontario where government funding is increasing for home healthcare providers. The company has shown good margin management and is bouncing back from the pandemic, even though some analysts express caution regarding its share price, suggesting that much of its potential growth may already be reflected in current valuations. While there is appreciation for its asset-light model and effective management, some experts prefer other opportunities, citing the competitive landscape and relatively low growth outlook compared to its peers. Overall, the company has a positive growth trajectory with potential for mid to high $30s per share, but there are varying levels of enthusiasm among analysts regarding its valuation and growth prospects.

DON'T BUY

Long term care. They have about 5% dividend but it is over 100% of cash flow. Sales are growing at 1.2%. The free cash flow yield is not there.

DON'T BUY

Would avoid right now, with government regulation risk, and bad press. There's enough risk for negative press in healthcare stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Look at defensive stocks this time of year. EXE's moving averages are moving up. Add more at $8.60. It's overbought now, so expect consolidation first.

HOLD

He bought more in December. They do have some debt -- a little higher than he likes. The payout ratio is such that the dividend is stable, but won't grow. The demographics are in their favour within senior housing. He is happy to keep holding it. Yield 5.7%

BUY

The activist investor? The activist investor owns 9%. It's a leader in Canada. A great demographic play. Good dividend. This could hit $12-14. He's pleased that EXE has come to an agreement with the activist.

DON'T BUY

This sector is almost as bad as airplanes, because there are government regulations and labour issues (minimum wage) and it's labour-intensive. Also. EXE missed their numbers and hasn't done much in two years. They blew their brains out in the U.S. where they got it. Also--his theory--technological advances and government incentives encourage seniors to stay in home and not enter nursing homes. The whole sector falls shorts.

BUY

He bought it years ago. Pays 4-cents each month in dividends. He's doubled-down and averaged down. It doesn't have the normal upside for him, but it's a fine demographic play. People are getting older. He sees 50-100% upside. Safe to buy more here, but he wants them to pay down its debt more.

DON'T BUY

He generally likes the REITs. This one would not be the one he would pick. It is generally more volatile than he would like. The yield is a little bit stretched. SIS-T is one he would prefer slightly.

HOLD

Similar macro answer to Chartwell. EXE-T went to the US and it really didn't work. So now it's Ontario-centric. Not much earnings growth but a big yield. Relatively safe place to hide.

WEAK BUY

It has been beaten up badly and he is surprised by how much. The dividend is reasonable but the payout ratio is a little higher than he likes. It is not a contra stock because the upside is not high enough but he bought it for the dividend with capital appreciation. It has a lot of government support in Ontario. The increase in minimum wage hurt EXE-T.

WATCH

7.7% dividend yield. He owns a small position. It's worth looking at. Their balance sheet is fine. A stable business. They did a great job exiting their US business and distributing capital to shareholders. Worth looking at it, definitely.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It pays a good dividend. The financials are not too bad. Wage hikes might have hurt them. They have been doing takeovers. He is happy to hold it and might double down on it if it comes down much more.

COMMENT

Extendicare (EXE-T) or Chartwell Retirement (CSH-U-T). Both are good long term holds. He prefers and owns Chartwell. Will see continued growth in this sector. There were shorts on Extendicare and the rebound lately has been a short covering.

TOP PICK

It's been beaten up, but the technicals look really good. It's broken a downtrend. Everything is lined up from a fundamental and technical perspective. If it breaks $8, then it should have no resistence to reach $10. Nice dividend above 6%. (Analysts' price target: $8.83)

DON'T BUY

Owned in past, not now. Two concerns are the balance sheet and government involvement. Current Ontario inquiry plus more regulation could squeeze margins. Well run, lots of growth. Regulatory environment would keep him away.
