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
Mining sector should have a better decade in the 2020s than the 2010s. A great Canadian company, again with benefit of the dividend tax credit.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 13/22, Up 0.4%) It's had a string of beats. Still cheap at 11.2x PE. He bought it to play mining. Good growth is doubtful in coming years because of an economic slowdown. A good company. Hold on with you own it. Buy it on weakness or sell calls. You'll be fine for the next 2-3 years.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 13/22, Down 23%) Macro deteriorated unexpectedly. Still a great play on the copper and green revolutions without being on the production side. Demand will be high once we get through this cycle. Really cheap. Don't buy more today, but hold and add on weakness. Nice dividend.
TOP PICK
Cheaper than competitor (Caterpillar). Company at intersection of energy mining, green energy & commodity demand. Strong financials and dividends. Cheap valuation at the moment, presenting a good buying opportunity.
TOP PICK
Reopening and global growth play. Significant earnings runway. Peak margins are a ways out. Trades at 12x, 13% EPS growth rate, so PEG really works. Cheaper than CAT. Good at this part of the cycle. Yield is 2.74%. (Analysts’ price target is $42.89)
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Gives good exposure to the industrial sector. The assumption would be based on higher inflation and higher commodity prices driving up the company’s sales. They have also managed past cycles well. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK
Owns Caterpillar dealerships that sell into forestry, agriculture and mining. 55% of revenue comes from Canada, rest from South America and UK. CAT beat on earnings and margins. Reports on Nov 8. Just broke out of a really nice base, which probably means another leg higher. Yield is 2.45%. (Analysts’ price target is $41.67)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The stock took a hit from political moves in Chile. Overall it is a good grower and more growth is expected over the next two years. Currently trading at 18x earnings. Metals and mining stocks have been doing well recently. It is worth holding at current prices. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 10/20, Up 12%) Trades at around 14x with 32% growth rate. Has done great cost-cutting measures and expects this to go higher with the recovery. It pays a nice dividend. You want to buy when there is fear like right now.
TOP PICK
A safer way to play copper with a nice dividend. This kind of name tends to outperform the market for a couple months after a trough. A name that has displayed rigorous cost containment over the last 5 years. (Analysts’ price target is $28.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 08/19, Down 25%) A tough environment for them. They sold out of their holding last June around $22. They were having troubles rolling out a South American strategy so opted to move on.
BUY
Decent growth rate, good balance sheet. Even cheaper now. Markets will distort everything to the upside or downside. The script is to sell things that have really swelled, and put it into these lows. Now a ridiculously low valuation. Hold it, and add to it if you can. You want to own a name like this into the next cycle. Yield is 5.5%.
DON'T BUY
He'd never buy any stock that's falling--in a strong market. If the market weakens, this will get even weaker.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/19, Down 10%) It's rangebound from $22-26. He's looking for a breakout; if so, this will push much higher which happened in mid-2017. He likes Caterpillar and Tormont as well. FTT has been a laggard. If it breaks below that range, this will fall lower.

TOP PICK
A contrarian pick. If there's a recovery in manufacturing, you buy industrials like this. It's growing earnings 14% annually in the next few years mostly from cost-cutting. Trades at 12x earnings. Pays a safe 3.2% dividend, and they will buyback stock. This will grow despite a weak macro, even better in a strong macro. (Analysts’ price target is $27.75)
