Room to grow, as US market remains fragmented. Trades at 27x earnings. Not capital intensive. Throws off a fair bit of free cash. Inflation-protected contracts. Tends to buy more services inside buildings, not the buildings themselves. Yield is 0.67%. (Analysts’ price target is $194.80)

TOP PICK

It is in the property management and franchise business, and is a low capital intensive business. Has organic growth and does tuck-in acquisitions. It is a very fragmented industry so there is a great opportunity to grow over the next several years especially in U.S. Slightly inflation protected. Contracts don't change yearly so it is protected over the next few years Executes very well and management owns a lot of shares. Buy 2, Hold 3, Sell 0 . Also likes and owns Summit Reit.

BUY

Still likes it. Illiquid. High multiple. Great buying opportunity. Great Canadian name, with a huge US base. Asset light, very little capex. Grows organically quite nicely, plus successful tuck-in acquisitions. Good market share and they can continue to buy in a fragmented market. Contracts are inflation protected.

BUY

Beat on top and bottom lines, yet price still down. Majority of income from US. Strong economics, well run, high quality. Valuation got ahead of the fundamentals, nothing wrong with the company. Solid business, good management team. Historically, a good compounder.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks FSV has easily beaten its last four quarters. The dividend pays only 0.57%, so you’re not buying this for income, but for growth. Its EPS has grown 51.66% in the past year. Its ROI stands at nearly 10%, which is higher than peers such as Tricon’s 6.69%. However, FirstService’s PE is 46.5x, far higher than, say, Morguard’s which is 6x. Because of the high PE, investors tend to sell FSV hard on any bad news. The strategy here would be to buy on such pullbacks, and volatility has gripped the markets since the year began. Read 4 Promising TSX Stocks for our full analysis.

TOP PICK

Great Canadian company. Property management plus franchises like California Closets. Grows organically, plus tuck-in acquisitions. Price-protected contracts. Opportunities in a fragmented industry, asset light, low capex. Not as liquid, as management owns shares. At low end of trading range, so a good time to buy. Yield is 0.60%. (Analysts’ price target is $229.14)

TOP PICK

Decades of growth ahead of it. Tiny market share of property services. Building out national platform for disaster restoration in the US. Another platform is fire safety. Unbelievable management, well run. Clean balance sheet. Great entry point.

BUY

Excellent growth stock, a fantastic compounder. The valuation is a tad high for him, but you can buy this. Excellent manager of real estate services.

BUY

He has owned FirstService (property management business) for a long time. Capital light business that generates a lot of free cash flow. Growing through organic growth and franchise expansion. Annuity business that is generated by contracts signed with clients. Not a cheap stock, however will continue to hold & buy. Would recommend buying.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Need to have a critical eye on serial acquirers like this one. Residential property, renovation, etc. Great growth company. Compounded sales by 17% over the last 5 years. Trades at 44x earnings, long-term average is 31x. EPS has grown by 24% compounded. Buy on pullback around $200.
