Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI-T) has received mixed reviews from experts since the company's acquisition by Sunoco. While some analysts see the acquisition as a positive move that could benefit shareholders, citing excellent assets and advantageous market conditions due to geopolitical factors, others express concern over the acquisition price and potential risks related to Sunoco's post-deal share behavior. There is a general indication that shareholders should assess their options, with some recommending a conservative approach by holding onto the stock for dividend income while looking for other investment opportunities. The consensus suggests a cautious outlook, with the possibility of reduced upside in the mid-term as the two companies integrate. Overall, the sentiment is that while there is some potential, caution and reassessment are advisable given the current dynamics.
Quite volatile. When they came out with a bad quarter in Jan/Feb, the stock got whacked. You have to realize this is somewhat volatile. Likes what they are doing. Did a major expansion across the country. Their contract with Suncor (SU-T) is ending and he is not sure what they are going to do regarding replacements of supplies.
Doesn’t know if this is such a buy right here. Had a big beat on their Q1 due to their Elbow River acquisition earlier in the year, but in terms of organic growth, commercial volume is actually down 6% year-over-year. They still haven’t replaced there Suncor contract that is falling off towards the end of this year. Payout ratio at 50% looks very low but, that could go a lot higher if their earnings come down.
Runs gas stations and convenience stores as part of their business but mainly distributors of fuel. Made some major acquisitions in Eastern Canada which has turned out quite all right. A tricky business because with the oil business up and down and depending on who is producing what, it can affect their markets. Good yield at 5.9%.
Suncor (SU-T) discontinued their contract, but he doesn’t see this as material to their business model. A pretty stable steady business model. In North America, you are seeing a bit of a disconnect between finished product prices (gasoline) and input prices, so there is money to be made along the chain. This company is doing a decent job. Dividend is well supported. Lots of cash flow.
