Coming close to full value. 8% yield is very attractive. The Calgary contracts have now been settled.
TOP PICK
One of the largest laundry providers. Great business model. Very little competition and non-cyclical. Looks like it is ready to renew Calgary contracts.
COMMENT
This was a perfect company to be trusted with its stability with laundry of hospital, hotel linens. Expecting to renew a large Calgary contract tomorrow. If they lose it, the stock will not do well.
TOP PICK
85% of revenue is from hospital laundry services. The rest is hotel services. Recently made an acquisition in Victoria. A business with long-term contracts. 80% payout ratio. Reasonable debt.
TOP PICK
In the laundry management business, catering to healthcare and hospital sectors. Revenue is backed by long-term contracts. $14 or below would be a good entry point.
HOLD
Canada's largest laundry/linen processing company. Clients are basically hospitals and hotels in major metropolitan areas. Payout ratio is very conservative at 70%. Fairly priced at this time.
