Stock price when the opinion was issued
A construction company that has a lot of heavy machinery and very active in producing gravel. They suffered from being Alberta focused. Thinks you should be cautious on this. Nothing against the company, it’s just that the environment is so poor right now. What could skate them onside is LNG, which looks real. Not sure that LNG provides enough work to compensate.
Any strength at all in any kind of crude move, these little juniors could go. While falling from $1.50 all the way down to below $0.40, it was straight down. Now he is seeing, even in the weak oil state that we have, it is starting to consolidate. The little spike showing in the chart may indicate the stock is on the move. He would have no trouble buying this.
It has come off because they are doing a lot of work on site ‘C’ in BC. There were weather related issues causing delays and hitting margins. If you price contracts too low you don’t make money. It is probably a half decent entry point here. You want to watch the operation quarter by quarter and see that they can make money off them.
Owned this in the past and was really disappointed with them. They have the SiteC contract, which should give them great cash flow ability, but they keep having delays which has affected their cash flow, which has affected their covenants, and are now having a lot of troubles with their balance sheet. Longer-term, they should have a ton of work both from the SiteC project as well as from the recovery in the oil activity in Western Canada.
Has been crushed in the last 2-3 years. It’s a way to play the infrastructure boom in Western Canada, and is more of a play on BC LNG. He is very cautious about the prospects for LNG in BC in the current environment.
