Magellan Aerospace (MAL-T) has garnered attention as a top pick among experts, notably emphasizing its strong positioning in defense projects in Canada. Analysts highlight continued growth in cash reserves, debt reduction, and share buybacks, signaling a robust financial health. The company benefits from decade-long demand in the defense sector and an aircraft parts replacement cycle, leading to significant free cash flow generation. Recent earnings have indicated impressive growth in net income, as well as a positive outlook on military spending, especially regarding contracts supporting government initiatives. Price targets among analysts vary, with the general sentiment leaning toward favorable upside potential, making it an appealing option for investors.
(A Top Pick Jan 10/14. Up 71.81%.) The fall in the Cdn$ and the rise in the US$ are going to make manufacturers, especially Canadian ones, very attractive. This company had the added leverage of debt on their books, which they have not paid off a lot of. There was also multiple expansion. Recently sold some of his holdings, but would add back to it below $12 and would take it off closer to $14.50-$15.
Bombardier (BBD.B-T) has had its struggles. Has to both develop a product and sell it. This company has some very high quality products and can play both sides off against the middle. They supply everybody. Demand for new aircraft has been significant. The concern is that with energy prices coming lower, a lot of what has driven the demand for new aircraft is the new fuel efficient designs that a lot of manufacturers have incorporated. Dividend yield of 1.62%.
He likes it and has recommended it on BNN. The multiple has not yet caught up to how good the story is. It is growing its earnings at about 15%. Canadian dollar revenues and US$ expenses with margin expansion and they are delevering their balance sheet. Thinks you will see better dividends, share buybacks and growth next year as well as a multiple expansion.
Stock has been behaving strangely. Very thinly traded, so when someone decides to Buy or Sell, they can knock it around quite a bit. He has been buying at around $7.50 or a little bit lower. This should do very well because a lot of their revenues are US-based and their labour costs are Canadian. He would suggest that you average in.
We haven’t actually seen the positive leverage of a weak Cdn$ versus a strong US$ actually play out in manufacturers. This is likely where earnings prices are going to be and will likely play out over the next several years. He likes aerospace. Have operating leverage as they have a lot of hard fixed assets, as well as financial leverage. Yield of 1.55% and trading at less than 5X EBITDA versus the groups of 7.5-8 times. Very cheap.
(Top Pick Jan 10/14, Up 67.01%) It was knocked down the week before he came on, to dumb levels. They have been buying back their debt aggressively and now they are raising their dividend. This is going to play out for a long time here.
