This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Superior Plus Corp (SPB-T) operates primarily in the energy sector, dealing with propane and other fuels in Canada and the US, which are highly dependent on weather conditions. The company faces significant volatility, particularly in its propane segment, resulting in a challenging earnings environment. Recent earnings reports have disappointed investors, leading to an 18% drop in stock price and raising questions about management credibility. While the company diversifies its portfolio with a recent acquisition in compressed natural gas and renewable natural gas, it has struggled with operational efficiency and has revised its growth outlook from a projected 10% increase in the US to a decrease of 5%. Over the long term, shareholder returns have been minimal, suggesting that investors might be sacrificing capital appreciation for dividend income, presently yielding around 2.5%.

Husky, HSE

HOLD

Has had a really rough ride and had to cut its distributions. They are now in a reorganization mode. Ranks quite well in his quantitative screens.

SELL

In the process of turning itself around. They grew too quickly and took on too much debt. Not trying to sell one of their businesses. Given the track record, he's not sure that he would give them the benefit of the doubt.

HOLD

Did a lot of acquisitions in the past and some of them turned out to be not very good. Have spun off a couple of them. Payout ratio of about 90%. Earnings are starting to improve, so distribution is probably safe. Still have a lot of work to do.

DON'T BUY

Debt levels and payout ratios were too high. They are starting to address that by selling business lines to pay down debt. Still not comfortable with the debt levels.

DON'T BUY

Originally came out as a propane company, and then diversified into pulp chemicals, aluminum fabrication, construction materials, etc. Sold their aluminum. Debt level is far too high. Could be a distribution cut.

BUY

Sold off their aluminum asset, which was a positive. They now have reasonable leverage. Chemical division is very reliant on the Ontario power market for supply. There has been a reduction in wholesale rates, which gives them underlying support. Thinks it will do very well here.

SELL

Started out very well, but management got too diversified. They are trying to sell off some of their poorer assets and refocus on their original business. Propane is a slowly declining business.

SELL

Have a number of operational issues. Sold their aluminum business, which allowed them to reduce their debt. Still face a number of challenges, particularly their propane business. Their other 2 businesses are the third toward the housing sector.

HOLD

Industrial trusts are probably in a better position than some of the commodity trusts. This one has been beaten down. If you own it, continue to hold.

SELL

There are a lot of challenges in being a trust. Had a failed conglomerate strategy. Has turned around.

SELL

Still haven’t divested themselves of some of those companies they bought and the propane business doesn’t seem to be very great.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 24/05. Down 45%.) Cut the distribution twice in the spring. Sold after the first cut. Stumbled badly on acquisitions. Don't buy until you see a couple of more quarters.

BUY

The company had to cut distribution twice. Diminished confidence in trust.

DON'T BUY

It is not a good time to enter. Company is trying to sell J.W. Alluminum. It is a risky time to enter.

BUY

The leader in propane distribution. You are paying 6.5 X net adjusted cash flow whose business was depressed last year because of a mild winter. Will sell their aluminum business. Believes the distribution is safe.
