North American Construction Group (NOA-T) has been recognized as a highly undervalued investment opportunity, given its current heavy discount compared to peers in the industry. Historically anchored in oil sands projects, which now constitute only around 10% of its overall revenue, the company has shown remarkable diversification into mining and construction sectors, with significant operations extending into Australia and the United States. Analysts highlight the company's low trading multiples, at just 3.5x operating cash flow and under 10x PE, contrasting sharply with competitors operating between 10-12x cash flow metrics. The yield offered by the stock, hovering around 2.55%, adds to its attractiveness as a growth stock that is presently overlooked by the market. Expert price targets indicate solid upside potential, estimating the stock could reach values as high as $27.16.

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. It has weathered issues during the pandemic with staffing and the effects of rising costs to post record highs in revenue and earnings. Cash reserves continue to grow. It trades at 11x earnings and 1.7x book. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We continue to recommend placing a stop-loss at $12.00, looking to achieve $23.00 -- upside potential over 35%. Yield 1.9% (Analysts’ price target is $23.44)

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

He likes it and has been adding to it recently. These guys have diversified and done very well. Their profit margins are rising. It's a good company. He likes it.
