(A Top Pick Oct 03/18, Down 68%) A play on LNG, that is still possible. Modular work camps and homes. He still owns a bit of it and still deciding what to do. He is concerned about the growth in debt.
They had already had a run up ahead of the announcement for west coast LNG. He thinks this company has the most immediate upside potential due to its link to camps and catering. They will be building modular homes, buildings and other structures and have a good land holding to develop a great growth strategy near Kitimat. Yield 2.6%. (Analysts’ price target is $3.56)
Their original business was to build houses for oil and gas business. They have diversified to construction houses. The biggest upside is if liquid gas projects get sanctioned here they have a good chance to get a contract on that. A good little business. Good upside. (Analysts’ price target is $3.31)
(A Top Pick Jan 12/17, Down 19%) He had to get out because they continually disappointed. They are now getting into mobile and affordable housing. They got a contract with the city of Vancouver. He does not think this part of his story is fully understood. He likes it but does not own it at present. There is just not enough housing in Vancouver for the middle class.
A maker of work camps for resource projects. Oil/gas was their biggest sector base, so it took a big decline. There are some infrastructure projects they can bid on, but there is a lot of competition. Prefers Macro Enterprises (MCR-X), where if you add up the cash and equipment it is worth about $3.
If you have a long-term investment horizon, this would be a Buy. Feels it is a really good company. They’ve been earning a really good rate of return. Very cyclical. When oil prices go down, you are not going to build as many camps and temporary homes. Currently this is in a weak part of the cycle, which is why the stock is down. 4.73% dividend yield.
A modular accommodation company in the oil patch. With all the projects, especially in the oil sands, getting cut and the problems in Fort Mac, they’ve had a pretty rough couple of years. Had a pretty big debt level and were met with declining demand. They cut their dividend twice, and the stock went way, way down. He thinks the worst is over now. Not a bad company. The debt level is still pretty high, higher than he would like. Not a whole lot of growth potential. Thinks it is going to survive the downturn, but it wouldn’t be his favourite.
He has heard a lot of pessimism. They got hit but the cutbacks in the north because they supply camps for oil and gas companies and that will hit their bottom line. A great company for him to follow. It is a direct oil and gas play. It is worth looking at but the question is when to buy in. Perhaps the end of the year with tax loss selling.
