This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI-T) is seen by experts as a solid investment opportunity, particularly due to its strong backlog and reduced competition in the transit bus manufacturing industry. Although the company has faced supply chain challenges and production delays, particularly related to battery recalls, there is optimism that these issues are becoming manageable. Analysts note the importance of patience, as the backlog is expected to lead to significant profitability in the future. The stock is viewed as undervalued during current market conditions, particularly in the face of recent tax-loss selling, which experts believe has unfairly punished the company. Additionally, the public funding for transit services remains strong, and the company is uniquely positioned to benefit from emerging market demands, especially in electric buses.

DON'T BUY
Never executed on market expectations. Cut guidance due to shortages. And now there's this equity issue and the stock is down again today. Need to reduce debt. She's not interested.
WATCH
Company cut outlook due to shortages of components. Has never executed well. On her watch list, but wants to see more from them before adding it to her portfolio.
TOP PICK
They lead in making green-powered buses with 70+% market share, with a growing presence in the UK and Europe after a recent acquisition there. Earnings are cyclically depressed because of the pandemic killing demand, but he expects a generational fleet refresh now as governments earmark money for zero-emission transit. The stock pulled back last month due to the semis shortage. He bought more shares on that pullback, and he rarely averages down. Demand will recover after Covid and the order book will rebuild. The stock will jump in coming years. (Analysts’ price target is $30.25)
COMMENT
Buying a call for February? Going to miss numbers by a huge 40% due to supply chain issues. Long-term story doesn't change, but this impacts their balance sheet. Problem with buying a call is you're putting a gun to your head that it's got to work by February. He'd rather sell the put over the next 3-4 months, around $20. Will be in the penalty box for a while. Credibility is important with every stock, and this did raise eyebrows.
HOLD
They have been suffering like other vehicle manufacturing companies from supply constraints. He would let the dust settle before buying or just hang on if you have it.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The 2021 guidance was cut due to supply chain disruptions and logistics delay. Revenues are expected to be in the range of $2.3M-$2.5M, down from $2.8B. There will be some volatility in results for the next few quarters. The stock is still up 31% compared to last year and there is a decent backlog. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK
Value and cyclicality. Biden infrastructure deal is legit. Focus on green new economy in Canada and US is the real deal. With their rapid cycle of product innovation they're prepared to capitalize handsomely on this generational refresh of transportation. Earnings will potentially grow fivefold between 2021-25. Shares are undervalued. Strong growth ahead. Yield is 3.06%. (Analysts’ price target is $34.00)
HOLD
A leader in transit buses in NA. A good long term growing area. Last year, it got to compelling levels and has rallied off the bottom. The covid scenario has brought questions on the transit area. Usage of cars and gas demand is high. Mass transit is still constrained. We do not know if transit usage will come back to trends. Governments are spending through debt but this will come to a stop at some point.

TOP PICK
Winnipeg busmaker was once a Bay Street darling, then production numbers tanked before Covid sent the stock went into purgatory. Emerging from the lockdown, though, NFI is now in a good position to capitalize on the e-vehicle trend. The busmaker is rolling out more zero-emission vehicles, which cities across North American will favour under the eco-friendly Biden administration. Jurisdictions across North America will need to replace their aging fleets, anyway. NFI has also been expanding into Europe, including the U.K. In fact, at the end of June, NFI delivered four double-decker e-buses to Edinburgh. The street targets $34.67 or 24% upside based on six buys. The stock has edged up in the last weeks, but remains $5 below its 52-week high. Pick it up and see where the ride takes you before committing more, and collect the 3% dividend yield.
WATCH
Retraced quite a bit, and has now had quite a nice upward move. The theory is that infrastructure, renewables, and EVs will be positive for the stock. That may all work out, but the company's failed to deliver on what they say they're going to do for a number of years. Monitor to see if they can produce stable financial results.
TOP PICK
They are geared toward the re-opening of the economy. Quietly they are becoming an electric vehicle infrastructure company. Electric buses have a longer life than fossil fuel buses. (Analysts’ price target is $34.00)
BUY
He likes it here. It is depressed following a drop off in orders. He thinks we will see public transit utilization improve as cities start to open. They create electric buses also. It is a good recovery play.
SHORT
An industrial sector stock that does well in this type of environment. Has been a volatile stock with negative ROE. Cashflow is poor too. Interest coverage is not good. Yield is there but payout ratio is high.
WATCH
Mixed track record with production challenges, debt. Recently there's been optimism around EVs, and NFI is one of the larger companies to participate in the trend. Electrification is a small portion of their business, and there are some growth opportunities. Dividend is probably sustainable. He'd want to see more consistent performance before buying.
BUY
You want Canadian industrial companies. Making zero emission buses. Trading at 19x 2022 PE. Nice revenue and earnings growth. Adding here. They do have an extended balance sheet. Interest rates are very low. Nice growth potential over the next year or two.
