BUY

Impressive story. Hit last quarter with commodity nature of the food business. He bought on the selloff. Buy high quality names like this with reasonable valuation, organic and inorganic growth, respected CEO. Be cautious about the volatility, and look for steady operating performance.

DON'T BUY

She watches it. It's underperformed, because they cut guidance a few times. They have issues with input costs (flu has decimated the pork population in China and driven up pork prices), and those costs impact margins. They make a lot of sandwiches to Starbucks, but can't raise prices because of end-consumer resistance. PBH grows by M&A, but M&A may slow because of a wobbly balance sheet, which further impacts their growth.

BUY

They warned on a disappointing earnings outlook for this year. The swine fever in China has disrupted the market for some of their products. It is a temporary issue. A temporary problem is a buying opportunity.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 09/18, Up 10%) He sold and bought back in. Problem was they weren't integrating businesses well, but they're back on track with a capital infusion to let them do more deals. The lows are behind them.

BUY

2015-8 saw an uptrend, but it's now on a dowtrend. This year, support is at $90, the buying level, your entry point.

TOP PICK

They have done a really good job of acquiring, but bit off a little more than they could chew. Later the CPP investment board came in and purchased 7% of the shares of the company. Now they have a lot of cash again. He thinks they are now going to ramp up growth. (Analysts’ price target is $95.36)

TOP PICK

Since early spring 2018, it's fallen from $120 to current resistance around $80. It's had a 33% increase in EBITDA. EPS is down a bit from acquisitions, but estimates for 2020 are 48% higher. The CPP Investment Board just bought a big stake. (Analysts’ price target is $90.73)

DON'T BUY

A great performer, though it stalled in late-2018 due to weak guidance. The debt level prevents him from researching this name more. They've made lots of acqusitions in the past, but maybe that's caught up with them. Either CPP or the teachers' union has made a purchase of them recently, which has benefited PBH. Debt is a worry.

HOLD

He likes this well managed company. They typically acquire companies at good valuations and expand the margins. They say the acquisition pipeline still has great opportunities. They just completed a $200 million bought deal. Some of their margins have tightened, which has impacted their share price recently.

HOLD

They have big contracts with star bucks. They made a number of acquisitions but these stories may fall apart and they had a premium valuation and then the stock fell apart when the company missed a couple of quarters. They had problems with the minimum wage going up. He is trying to do more due diligence on it.

TOP PICK

Hit a high of $120 in Febuary 2018 and fell to $75 in December. It's now breaking resitance at $84. They just reported a 33% increase in EBITDA, and 40% increase in earnings. EPS is slightly down due to acquisitions. Estimates for this year are 24% and 48% higher next year. The Canadian Pension Board just invested in this. (Analysts’ price target is $90.73)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

CPP is investing $200 million. The stock hasn't fully recovered like others. Still expensive in his view. He thinks the entry point is $75.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 09/18, Down 9%) A disappointment. It's a growth by acquisition story, but they couldn't keep up with labour costs. He sold. Had some weak quarters.

WATCH

The chart resembles Kraft's, seeing a sharp downturn since early 2018. It's been consolidating since last fall. It is testing the top of its range, and if it breaks out, then this enters a bullish scenario. Now is a crucial time.

BUY

Great management team. They make sandwiches. They have been great at acquisitions. Recently they have made some large acquisitions. Margins have slipped a bit. Their acquisition pipeline is still large. They haven't traded this cheap for a long time.
