This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

North American Construction Group (NOA-T) has been recognized for its strategic diversification beyond its original focus on oil sands, which now contributes only about 10% to its overall revenue. The company has successfully entered the mining and construction sectors, with significant operations in Australia and the U.S. This shift has allowed it to leverage growth opportunities in various markets. Analysts highlight the stock's attractive valuation at approximately 3.5 times operating cash flow and under 10 times price-to-earnings ratio, in sharp contrast to its peers, which range from 10 to 12 times. With a yield hovering around 2.55% to 2.13%, experts see potential upside, indicating that there is room for growth as it remains relatively underappreciated in the market, evidenced by analysts' price targets of around $25 to $27.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK. Management reports the company is experiencing "less skilled trade vacancies and improved equipment utilization" as it emerges from the effects of the pandemic. It trades under 2x book value and supports a 20% ROE. The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We like that cash reserves have been growing, while debt is aggressively retired and shares are bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $14) to $16, looking to achieve $24 -- upside potential of 16%. Yield %

(Analysts’ price target is $23.79)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this supplier of heavy equipment maintenance and services as a TOP PICK.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 04/21, Down 19%) NOA help the Canadian Oil Sands projects. Since he called this, the infrastructure spending hasn't been as much as expected. The last earnings looked good, though. But anything non-oil has gone down this year.

TOP PICK

The energy infrastructure side looks interesting. They have diversified over the last few years to mining and metals. Compared to others, they are four times operating cash flow and a good backlog. He thinks it has some growth. (Analysts’ price target is $24.43)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 12/20, Up 79%) It benefits from the Oil Sands activity. The balance sheet is stressed. This works well in a deep-value recovery, but not so well in a tougher environment. He wouldn't buy it now.

BUY
