Premium contentTOP 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)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Reporting Q4 net income up 53% over the year, we again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK.

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)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly NOA provides mining and heavy equipment construction services to the North American resource sector. They are involved in a $2.7 billion partnership to a North Dakota flood mitigation project. The 29 year service contract provides recurring revenues. Infrastructure is a good inflation hedge and this fits well. It trades at 12x earnings compared to peers at 22x. It pays a small dividend backed by a payout ratio of under 10% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $15, looking to achieve $28 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 0.36% (Analysts’ price target is $27.86)

Diversified beyond heavy oil, now more of a full engineering company for the resource industry. Stock's acting better. He hasn't added recently. Not as screamingly cheap as it was. Increased costs are squeezing margins.
