Finning International (FTT-T) is recognized for its distribution of Caterpillar products and has enjoyed a significant price increase, recently moving past its fair market value. While some experts see potential in this stock, noting the correlation with copper markets and its attractive chart formations, concerns about holding prices above $78 and the potential for a correction loom. The equipment dealer sector is considered favorable due to its resilience against inflation and alignment with global growth, suggesting a buy approach at lower levels. However, with uncertainties in Canadian infrastructure and energy sectors, some analysts advise caution, preferring Caterpillar directly. The current phase in the market cycle could favor industrials, providing a broader bullish sentiment for certain stocks in this category.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 4/12. Up 14.23%.) Hit his target price so he sold out in April. Stock dropped back and he re-bought in the $22 range. This is a very good stock if you are disciplined as it trades low $20s up to the high $20s and sometimes into the $30’s.

TOP PICK

This is a bet on an improving economy even with reduced revenue growth. Still have very strong margins expanding between 9%-10% between now and 2013. Trading at around 6.2X EV to EBITDA compared to their peers at around 8X. This stock has pretty much moved lockstep with copper so if you think China is going to come back a little bit and that US is getting more constructive and that copper is going to do a little bit better, this will probably follow as well.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 22/11. Up 7.14%.) Holding steady in the low $20’s. So as long as it holds there he would probably continue holding. 2.5% yield.

BUY

Good business and all of the markets they operate in are performing well and have growth opportunities. Bug Finning has had a number of challenges and it has nothing to do with CAT equipment, but more to do with their operations. Revenues are growing and backlog is up 6% so it is doing well but investors are focusing on the cost line. If they can get them under control then investors will reward them with north of $30 for the stock price. Prefers to Caterpillar.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Has been looking at this one. Expect things in the mining industry will be picking up again over the next few years.

BUY

Good dividend growth story. One of the largest CAT dealers around the world. Had trouble with inventory management software, but that is moving in the right direction and is now behind them.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 16, 2011, Down 8.71%) He sold in March and made a modest return.

BUY

All equipment dealers are a really good place to be in the Canadian market. They are tied to the performance of the oil/gas sector. This stock is trading below its normal historical range at around 7.2 EBITDA. Have had some cost issues, which is likely now done. Good chance they could boost their dividends.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 22/11. Up 28.51%.) He is getting close to selling is as it has started coming back. Wants to see it going back up to $30 again in the next month or so, otherwise he will exit.

TOP PICK

A bit miss-priced, trading below its historical range. Announced 5% growth, which he thinks is a bit cautious. Had some cost pressures in their Canadian operations, which will abate. Can raise the dividend toward the second half. Capital has gone towards their competitors, leaving them miss-priced.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Street is expecting a lot from this company in 2012 and you are paying up for that expectation. He wouldn't pay that multiple.

BUY

Markets. We are in a bit of a trading range. Currently we are in the classic tug-of-war. Are earnings better or worse than expectations? Also rising interest rates are not boding well for equities in the longer run. But interest rates are low and will stay low and earnings are good. There is also lots of dividend growth.

COMMENT

Very much dependent on capital projects going on globally. Just need an accretive acquisition in equipment distribution from Caterpillar (CAT-N). If you believe expanding economies are going to continue to accelerate growth this company will continue to do well.

TOP PICK

Is the largest CAT dealer in the world. Do well out of mining and energy development. Sees a big capital investment in energy and mining. They have to buy some rights to some new equipment but they will do well.

BUY

A stock he is looking at. In an area that is doing well shorter term. Resistance at $24.50. He would like to see it break through that. This is going to have legs for investors.
