Finning International, recognized as the largest Caterpillar dealer, has seen a solid performance with its stock price moving from $45 to higher levels. However, concerns have arisen as it currently trades at a high valuation amidst cyclical uncertainties in the market, particularly with infrastructure and energy in Canada. While some experts remain bullish on industrials, citing a favorable environment in phase 2 of the business cycle, there are warnings that the stock may be approaching its fair market value, and a correction could be imminent if it doesn't hold above $78. The prevailing sentiment indicates that while the company is poised for potential growth in a favorable economic period, a cautious approach is advised, suggesting buying at lower levels. Overall, the sentiment around Finning International is mixed, with an inclination towards a cautious outlook rather than aggressive investment at current rates.

COMMENT

Owns some of their bonds. A great company with some good international plays. Guidance has been 20% a year, which is a very high number, and this has hurt them. The market is thinking the economy boom is slowing down which has affected the price.

DON'T BUY

Charity shows pretty much a straight line that it moves around. You don't want to see the lows broken, but preferably to break out through the highs. If the market goes down, the risk here is to the downside.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 25/06. Up 3.5%.) Likes its exposure to the oil sands and base metals in South America through their trucks. Will also do well for the Olympics in British Columbia and the Mackenzie Valley.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 3/05. Up 15.5%.) Still likes. Could still be bought. The long-term play is as Caterpillar (CAT-N) gets its equipment into the field, this company benefits from the higher margin repairs/maintenance.

HOLD

Quasi cyclical with its exposure through Caterpillar. Always a little ahead of itself and has gone sideways. If you like the North American economical outlook for the next year or two you can stay in it but be ready in the next little while to sell on a move up.

TOP PICK

Just had a falloff of more than 10%, which creates a buying opportunity. Likes them for its business in the mining sector in Argentina and Chile. Likes their exposure to the winter Olympics, the oil sands and the Mackenzie Delta.

DON'T BUY

Has been a well-run company. Newspaper article indicated that oil sands has come up with new technology which means they wouldn't need Finning equipment anymore. That could have a big impact. Trading at 52-week high and she would be cautious at this point.

TOP PICK

One of the largest dealers of Caterpillar equipment. One of the ways to take advantage of the resource boom without having the volatility. Over the next 8 years, they are going to see an extra $3 billion plus in revenues just as a result of parts and equipment business in the oil sands.

BUY

Caterpillar equipment dealer. Prefers over Toromont (TIH-T) because of their exposure to South America.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 29/05. Up 7.3%.) A leverage play on the western Canadian resources boom. Still likes.

TOP PICK

A pretty good story of a Canadian company that has expanded outside of Canada. The traditional business was heavy equipment in western Canada. Making a lot of money in Latin America. Transforming itself by selling more and more services such as equipment maintenance and parts. Likes the infrastructure that is going to be going on in western Canada.

TOP PICK

A play on the resource boom. Distributor of Caterpillar Tractors for western Canada, the UK, and parts of Latin America, all of which, except for the UK, are doing very well.

BUY

Has been trading between 2 and 2.5 X its book value for some period of time and has just pulled down to the 2 X book. On a trading basis, it’s worth a shot. This would potentially give you 10/15% upside if it acts the way it has been.

TOP PICK

Interesting way to play the oil sands. They'll be supplying hundreds of millions of $'s worth of equipment to people in the oil sands. Will make a lot of money on the Whistler olympics. Probably going to make a lot of money on the MacKenzie Valley pipeline. Doing great in mining in South America. Had a mediocre quarter giving a nice buying opportunity.

DON'T BUY

Right now they are running free cash flow negative. Caterpillar news that was out today was not good because they shouldn't be having supply problems this let in the cycle. His valuation is in the $20 to $24 range.
