Finning Int (FTT-T) is recognized as the largest Caterpillar dealer, with a strong historical performance but currently facing valuation concerns from various analysts. Experts have highlighted its cyclical nature, expressing uncertainty about whether the market is anticipating the end of the cycle or merely reacting to a temporary fluctuation. Although there is a bullish outlook on industrials, which may favor the stock in the long term, several analysts suggest that it might be trading above its fair market value. Opinions are mixed; while some view it as a stable play in the equipment-dealing sector, the overall consensus leans towards caution, particularly with forecasted earnings trending flat. Observations about the Canadian market further complicate sentiment due to ongoing uncertainties in infrastructure and energy sectors.

CAT

HOLD

Very well managed company. With the huge developments in western Canada in mining and oil/gas, it is doing well. Stock seems to move ahead of its valuation and then pulls back to a realistic point, which is what has been happening over the last couple of months.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 25/06. Up 54%.) Finally hitting on all cylinders. Will eventually benefit from any pipeline getting built. South America sales are going through the roof. The UK division finally got sorted out.

BUY

A leveraged play on the resource economy of western Canada and the emerging markets. Will keep going in the next few years.

TOP PICK

Has suffered some execution issues over the last couple of years. Looks like they're finally getting through. Earnings growth has begun to show some good signs. Have oil sands and mining exposure in good areas.

DON'T BUY

Quite fully valued. The whole sector looks a little on the pricey side.

WEAK BUY

The model price is almost $50 which is a 5% positive differential. Just sold his holdings.

DON'T BUY

Makes money both selling equipment and has a nice consistent cash flow through servicing. Had some problems in Britain and are not completely out of the woods yet.

HOLD

Very involved in the oil sands, but also are substantially involved in South America for a lot of mining project. As long as there is global growth in the industry, it should continue to do all right. Wouldn't be surprised if growth slows down on a cyclical basis. OK for a long-term hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 4/06. Up 27.9%.) In the last 4 years, they have taken a hit on the currency. With the Cdn$ being down, they will actually have an increase in the foreign exchange. They have big position in South American mining which is going ahead full bore.

BUY

A model price is $48.72, only a 3% positive differential, but it has huge revisions.

HOLD

A great play on Western Canadian development and the economy. Worked through their UK problems. Started dividends although their earnings were not as good as they should be. Fairly valued. Would like it below $40.

BUY

The English operation was an albatross around their neck, which they managed to shed. Doing great in South America, Western and Northern Canada. Every time they sell a machine, they have supply and maintenance contract which is good for their revenue base.

BUY

Finally did something right, with their UK holdings. Still likes the South American operations very much.

DON'T BUY

Has been one of the best performing stocks over this cycle. Economically sensitive stocks have started to suffer. Earnings are still very good but the market is seeing some risk going forward.

COMMENT

Putting it beside Toromont Industries (TIH-T) it comes out as a more high quality company. Big infrastructure needs should keep propelling both companies forward.
