Experts have mixed but generally positive views on Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI-T) following its acquisition by Sunoco. Many believe that the merger will enhance the combined entity's profitability, particularly with the current geopolitical climate positively affecting margins. Some analysts have set a price target for Parkland at $41.50, reflecting optimism about future performance. However, there are concerns regarding how shareholders will respond to the acquisition price, with recommendations to tender for cash to reassess the situation post-deal closure. Overall, while the sentiment is mostly favorable, caution is advised as the market adjusts to the changes brought on by the acquisition.
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.
