This summary was created by AI, based on 9 opinions in the last 12 months.

Firstservice Corp (FSV-T) is recognized for its stability in earnings and strong acquisition strategy, specifically in the fragmented property management industry. Analysts note its solid growth through bolt-on acquisitions, particularly in the US market, which presents ample opportunities. While the company's valuation has been deemed relatively high, many experts lean towards a 'Buy' recommendation for long-term investors, advocating for gradual accumulation of shares. However, there is acknowledgment of resistance levels and a current downward trend, prompting some analysts to recommend waiting for a price drop before initiating a position. Overall, Firstservice is viewed as a well-managed company with a good long-term outlook, despite concerns about valuation and market conditions.

TOP PICK
Also a past pick. Trades at 20x earnings, so not cheap. Waht he likes is that it has no capex per se. Last quarter they grew their topline 13%, impressive. They target organic and acqusition growth from mom and pop shops out there, so there's lots of runway here. (Analysts’ price target is $113.46)

It provides a huge range of services for gated communities. It's a compounder of capital and market leader, but occupies only 5% of this sector, so there's room to grow. It has a high PE, but their runway to buy other companies is long and broad. (Analysts’ price target is $113.46)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 12/18, Up 37%) A great Canadian business with American assets like California Closets. smartly, they make small tuck-in acqusitions that grow the business. Also, their property management business is an annuity because clients sig 3/4/5-year contracts that see inflationaty increases. They have no fixed assets, so they're capital-lite.

TOP PICK

They run gated communities and apartment buildings in the U.S. Trades at 24x earnings, so expensive, but their growth justifies that. It's capital-lite (few expenditures) business which is good. They've been growing at double-digits, growing organically at 7%, making acqusitioning along the way to further add to earnings.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 7/16. Up 48%.) Had thought the stock was undervalued and was quickly growing. Although listed in Toronto, 90% of revenue comes from the US. They do everything from cutting grass to painting houses to providing security services, primarily for gated communities. There is a big runway for growth, because it is a very fragmented industry. Well-managed.

HOLD

You are better off holding on to this stock. It is highly unlikely it will correct to its past lows. What they are doing is very smart and very interesting. They are adding a lot of value to their clients. They generate predictable and consistent cash flow.
