Firstservice Corp (FSV-T) is recognized as a compounder stock primarily growing through acquisitions within the fragmented property management and services sector. Analysts highlight its strong earnings stability and disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions, which suggest considerable room for growth. However, the company has faced challenges due to a lack of significant weather events that would stimulate its property restoration business, leading to concerns regarding current valuation levels. Despite being perceived as a 'good company/bad stock' by some experts, many advocate for a long-term investment strategy and suggest that recent price drops may present a favorable entry point. The general sentiment reflects a preference for gradual accumulation rather than immediate selling, with various analysts offering optimistic long-term price targets.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 21/20, Up 0%)(Total return not available.) Great Canadian company. Asset lite, minimal fixed costs, low capex. Grow organically and by acquisition, which they do very well. Executes incredibly well. He'd buy it here or on any pullback.

COMMENT

He's long owned this. Some of their businesses are maintaining apartment buildings, but also gated communities in the US. They have little capital expenditure and they hold asset-lite businesses. They've grown organically and buy mom and pop businesses as well as tuck-in acquisitions. Plus they operate a franchise business that continues to grow. Office buildings won't go away--they will still need to be serviced post-Covid, so that's not an issue, though occupants may want to pay less for these spaces and that could become an issue.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 22/20, Up 44%) Continues to impress. Management team is one of top 10 in Canada. Renovations are a great tailwind for them. Property management is stable source of revenue. Great balance sheet. Keep holding.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has long held this. Great company, but it's always traded at a high multiple. Given the high PE, shareholders sell hard on any bad news, so he adds when it suffers a 5-10% pullback, like a bad quarter. Is a capital-lite business that grows organically plus through tuck-in buys. Great management which owns a lot of stock.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 19/19, Up 44%) Property management plus franchises like California Closets. Capital light. Grow organically and by acquisition. Fragmented industry, so a lot of opportunity for bolt-on acquisitions. Very strong management. Great Canadian business. Buy when volatility creates dips.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 19/19, Up 39%) Dropped recently on rotation out of quality and higher beta names. Has grown revenues. Getting into restoration, a huge addressable market. Likes management very much. Expensive valuation, but you'll do fine.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 05/19, Up 46%) It is a great Canadian Company. He likes that it. It is asset light and has little fixed costs. They grew the business through organic growth and tuck-in acquisitions. Buy it now on weakness. They continue to execute incredibly well.

TOP PICK

An asset-lilte business with little capex, which is a huge plus. It grows by acquisition and organically. The market is fragmented, so they have a lot of room to grow by acquisition. They can grow their franchise and residential property businesses. (Analysts’ price target is $100.00)

BUY

If the tree is growing, treat it nicely. Don't cut it down because it is growing. FSV-T is growing because of strong management. People have to live somewhere. The communities need property management services. They have a smart management team.

BUY

It is a premier Canadian company. They take care of these tall gated communities. The commercial part of the business will continue to generate revenues for them. He really likes it

BUY

Missed last quarter's earnings and down 15-20%. This quarter was great, and now it's making new highs. Great Canadian company, lots of free cash flow, asset light. Tuck in acquisitions and grow organically. Good growth coming along. They'll do well over the next little while.

TOP PICK

Managers have been excellent capital allocators. They stumbled in the last quarter regarding their restoration business, but bad weather made that quarter look worse than it really was. He expects they will grow their restoration business. It's stalled now, so now is a good opportunity to buy. (Analysts’ price target is $134.83)

BUY

A unique Canadian company. Disciplined management makes good acquisitions, but the stock fell on their last earnings report with higher labor costs (that they passed onto their customers). They also do property management--there's room to grow in this space, because there remains lots of mom-and-pop businesses to buy. Their contracts are like annuities, renewed each year. FSV had issues with execution, but he's confident they'll sort this out. FSV manages a lot of gated communities in the US and apartment buildings.

DON'T BUY

It looks like it's broken out and could go up to $130. He would look into it more on the fundamental side though. Sometimes, companies finds a footing and then loses it, like Blackberry. He would personally stay away from it.
