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.

WEAK BUY
A fine growth by acquisition story, buying in the US. Lots of insider ownership, too. Managers are great growing FSV. He sold his shares when the multiple rose; margins don't get high in this business. This is still a good long-term opportunity. A few weak quarters have made this worth looking at.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 09/19, Up 3%) Good organic growth and fine businesses that demand little capex. They've executed very well. See top picks.
TOP PICK
Also a past pick. They had a bad quarter and the stock fell 10%; their residential division hurt them. But there's little capex for FSV. They continue to buy businesses, like California Closets, and they manage properties. They do lots of tuck-in buys plus organic growth. They grow 10% consistently. Great growth in the US with their US assets. (Analysts’ price target is $132.94)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A compounding stock run by fine managers. Buy on weakness. There's upside. They provide a good service.
TOP PICK
Their businesses are closets, painting and restoration--property management. It's a solid mid-single-digit organic grower. They're benefiting from the American real estate market, especially multi-residential. They grow by acquisition, making nice tuck-ins. It's well-run. He's owned this before and re-entered it recently from a recent pullback from weak earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $132.65)
TOP PICK
A residential property manager. They first bought a restoration company. They are great acquirers of companies that can stand the test of time. (Analysts’ price target is $131.91)
BUY
The chart looks good. It's had a good run and is now pulling back, which is healthy. But it's healthy to hold this level--you can buy it now.
TOP PICK
A capital-lite business with few fixed assets and low capex as they generate a lot of cash. But recently they missed their EBITDA by 5%, largely from their restoration business. They grow by acquisition as well as organically. Managers own a lot of shares. It's a buying opportunity now after that earning miss. (Analysts’ price target is $131.91)
COMMENT
It's done very well. He knows the CEO. It was fully valued until the recent pullback. Their businesses are recession-proof, but the multiple has grown high.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 11/18, Up 35%) They're big in the US and also here. Their strategy has always been to grown organic while doing tuck-in acquisitions. They execute very well. Strong managers. But not a cheap stock. They can keep expanding; lots of mom-and-pop shops they can buy in the future. Great CEO.
HOLD
Reason debt went up is they made a gigantic acquisition, Global Restoration, which benefits from hurricanes and other disasters. Loves the stock. Unbelievable chart. Don't be so quick to sell good companies.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 30/18, Up 23%) Love it. Great Canadian company. Manage condo properties. Can continue to do acquisitions, and continues to grow organically. Lots of room to grow. Great formula, execute incredibly well. Have a vision. Will continue to do well.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 19/18, Up 26%) Love it, a great Canadian company. Their property management business is doing very well. They plan to grown organically and make some small acquisitions of mom-and-pop operations. It's very well-run.
BUY

FSV vs. CIGI He prefers First Service, which is less volatile and more sustainable. Colliers just let go of their head of real estate for misbehaviour, so there's management turmoil. In a recession, Colliers will get hit harder, because there will be fewer transactions in commercial real estate, which is Colliers' business.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 07/18, Up 24%) A Canadian company but most of its businesses are in the U.S. Great story. Very low capex. Owned it for a long time. Management owns almost 40% of the stock. Continues to own it, they buy it here.
