Long-term, he loves this company. They have continually performed, quarter in-quarter out. Strong balance sheet and good fundamentals. In the shorter term, they have been in the news a bit more than long-term shareholders are used to. Had a New Jersey contract cancelled, due to financial issues on the New Jersey transit side. That is behind them already. There was also Marco Polo out of Brazil, a large shareholder, which recently sold a lot of shares, and a lot of investors got spooked. On any pullback, he would consider it as a buying opportunity. Shares are cheap at 13-14X next year’s earnings.
Trudeau announced divvying up funds towards transit, which is a definite net positive for this name. You are seeing net trend both in the US and Canada where there is an increase in spending on buses. The stock is still reasonably valued. In the short term, there is a big question mark around New Jersey, they are holding back on producing more of their New Jersey buses. Dividend yield of about 2% and this could go much, much higher.
There was a parabolic move earlier this year. It washed out and is now in a bit of consolidation. We are getting higher highs and higher lows still. It if takes out the last low, then you might be in trouble.
