This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

New Flyer Industries Inc. appears to be at a pivotal moment, with reviews suggesting that the most challenging period may be behind them. The company currently has a robust order backlog and is gaining pricing power as some competitors exit the market. Experts note the importance of patience as ongoing supply chain issues, including a complex battery situation, are seen as temporary hurdles. The overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with hopes for dividends to be reinstated in the coming years. Investors are encouraged to accumulate shares during this transitional phase, given the company's essential services and solid fundamentals.

DON'T BUY

This bus manufacturer also has a service offering as well. There had been fears that a slowdown in the US economy would hurt orders. She does not see a compelling reason to own this as the earnings are not defensible.

TOP PICK
The cheapest stock in the TSX-300. It was pummeled down. They are the leader of the three bus manufacturers. He expects growth to pick up. It is under 9 times earnings. They generate great free cash flow and are virtually recession proof. It should grow to over $50. (Analysts’ price target is $48.14)
DON'T BUY
It was a high-flying stock until they ran into management and competition problems. He never got excited by NFI, failing to find their moat and feeling that their balance sheet wasn't that great. That said, he's never done a deep dive into NFI. Not on his radar. He'd need to see serious earnings growth first.
DON'T BUY
Average down? He wouldn't. He used to own this. He hasn't looked at NFI lately. Take a good look at their financials.
DON'T BUY
Cyclical, so you have to deal with the ups and downs of manufacturing. Was the favourite child in Canada, but now it's come down. If you've doubled your money, sell half. Remember, it's a bus company. You can hold it, but it's volatile, and he doesn't want to own something like that.
BUY
Yesterday they released sales figures and they were not as robust as some were expecting. He is kicking the tires hard on it now.
BUY
Down about 12% today. They put out Q4 sales results and the 2019 outlook. He owned it previously but was stopped out recently. The challenge is that a client has backed out of a large 100 bus order, which ended up going to auction and slowed buying interest in new orders. Buyers can't decide which energy source to use (gasoline, natural gas, electric, etc.), which is complicating the business. He thinks longer term it is oversold right now and is a buy.
WATCH
Stock's been beaten up. Sold half his position. Drop is a bit overdone. Slowing economy is having an impact. Well balanced between Canada and US. Fairly efficient. Could look at it at this level.
HOLD
The bus maker was recommended by him when it was trading at $8. He expects an index like return going forward as most of the bus inventory has been replaced. There may be some electric bus manufacturing opportunities in the future.
DON'T BUY
Got to an extreme high. Had a beautiful run. It is coming down to Earth. He wouldn't be surprised to see this stock coming down to 27 or even to 22. He would be very cautious even being a good company.
TOP PICK
A long term holding for him. The stock price is almost half of its high. The National Bank released a report recently that highlighted how they will do in a slowing economy and with other concerns in a favourable light. The company is trading at 6.3 times earnings versus historical average of 9 times. A steady grower with a 2.5 year backlog in orders. Yield 4.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $54.14)
BUY
It has been a rough ride over the last year, down over 40%. It has run up and then missed on earnings. It is a recession proof business. He is a buyer at these levels. It's an entry point.
DON'T BUY
He used to follow this. It's taken a beating because of protectionism and budgets to buy buses have been slashed. The 4% dividend is interesting, but he'll stay away for now. Maybe later.
HOLD
This company has done well from acquisitions and from the replacement cycle. That cycle is cooling off and the order book is coming off. It is starting to reflect the slow growing nature of the bus market. They did very accretive acquisitions a few years ago and the tail wind is wearing off. It is trading where it probably should be.
DON'T BUY
The issue is that it has risen to almost 8 times book value and the cycle is no longer in its favour. He would look for weaker prices yet, especially if it does not hold this key technical support.
