Under strategic review.

His question is who's going to buy it? Not sure the list is that long. Likes the business overall, highly sticky, a monopoly. Dividend yield is sustainable and here to stay. Doesn't see high organic growth. You can hold for the dividend.

He's long owned this, didn't do much for a while, but has made a good move this year. Trades at only 8x EBITDA. Strong managers. The stock has had a good pullback to $26, which an entry point now. They peaked in July-August, but doesn't know it has pulled back, maybe concerns over Saskatchewan's real estate market (Covid is hitting that province now). ISV is a high-quality business and pays a nice dividend.

Really likes the business. Land registry technology in Saskatchewan, a monopoly position. Provide services globally. Earnings and EBITDA have grown, so there's been multiple expansion. It's a comparably cheap stock, nice dividend, tons of free cash. Opportunities to make acquisitions. Long-term outlook is very good.

(A Top Pick Jan 27/20, Up 66%) Very high quality business, and it's been growing. Acquisition in 2020 was quite attractive. Earnings last night very strong, beating estimates. A lot of free cashflow. Despite the run, still cheap. Easily upside to $30-35 over time. Yield is about 3.5%.

Monopoly in Saskatchewan. Disappointing performance. Yield is sustainable. Conservative investment that lets you sleep at night. Not much growth. Not interested until he sees change in strategy from management.

It is a defensive name that is not priced like a defensive business. They are the operator of the land registry office in Alberta. They have a long term contract and have very steady cash flow. About 45% of their revenue is from their services and technology business. 5.5% dividend and they generate a lot of free cash flow. (Analysts’ price target is $17.75)

(A Top Pick Nov 19/18, Up 3%) They are in the land registry business in Saskatchewan and also a software service business. They offer services to legal and technology companies. A 5% dividend with no debt. They grow through acquisition. It is not well followed and the government of Saskatchewan owns around 30% of it.

A small, nichy name that he has owned. They operate in Regina where there have a lot of commodity-driven business. They have periods where the company doesn't do well, but they do generate cash to fund acquisitions. Has a decent balance sheet. The 5% dividend is safe and will slowly grow. Limited downside. But it's a small cap, so illiquid. He follows this.
