Superior Plus Corp (SPB-T) operates primarily in the propane logistics space and has recently faced significant challenges, including a drastic 18% drop in share prices following disappointing earnings results. The company's dependency on weather patterns for propane, which is considered more volatile than natural gas, poses a risk due to seasonal pressures on margins. While there have been positive signals, such as a new data center contract in the US and recent acquisitions into compressed and renewable natural gas sectors, questions remain regarding management's credibility and the effectiveness of their efficiency programs. Despite the potential for growth in alternative energies, erratic earnings and long-term returns have left investors cautious, leading to a yield of approximately 2.5%. The general sentiment suggests that while the business provides some stability, it has struggled to deliver consistent shareholder value over time.

DON'T BUY
A disaster. Management decided to diversify into chemical businesses, potassium products as well as wall/ceiling products. Cut their distributions twice. Expect they will have to reorganise.
SELL
Fairly valued at this point. There is still a significant amount of risk. There are significant corporate actions that need to be resolved. Have had 2 distribution cuts in the last year.
DON'T BUY
Announced they were selling their aluminum division which is a positive step. Still feels they are involved in too many business lines.
HOLD
Had a spectacular run as a propane distributor but began to see weakness in the propane market and diversified and ran into problems. Had a significant downturn in revenue and are talking about un-diversifying. If the stock moved up into the mid-teens, he would sell.
SELL
Ran into difficulty earlier this year and cut their distributions and announced a restructuring. They are planning on selling their cold rolled aluminum division and apply the proceeds towards debt. CEO and CFO are being changed. Debt levels and payout ratio are too high.
DON'T BUY
Has several problems. Its core business, propane, is in structural decline. Have also gone off in 4/5 different directions. Their debt levels are up near their covenants. Not a pretty picture.
DON'T BUY
Have had a negative outlook on this for some time. Have a virtual monopoly on the distribution of propane. Usage of propane is down. Has also gone into other areas and he prefers one industry.
BUY
Looks very interesting. Had dropped from $30 to $10 and at $10.25 he bought for his hedge fund. Trades at about 6.5 X enterprise value EBITDA. Absolutely dirt-cheap and if they sell some of their non-propane assets the market will realise that the underlying asset is very strong.
DON'T BUY
Had to cut distributions. No sure that it makes much sense for it to be trading higher.
DON'T BUY
A high cost producer of pulp chemicals. It's in a market that is contracting. What you want in this circumstance is the low cost producer which would be Canexus (CUS.UN-T).
SELL
In the last year or so, they have started to diversify outside of the propane business. Some of those are running into trouble, especially the pulp chemical business. The war in winter hurt their propane business. Have cut distributions a couple of times the last one being 30%.
DON'T BUY
Was blindsided by their second cut in distributions. This is absolutely hammered the stock. They have a couple of businesses that are not shining at the moment. These include propane and pulp chemicals. Sold all his holdings. Expect its dead money for 2 or 3 quarters.
SELL
A bit of a disappointment. Had some concerns about their underlying operating businesses. They have cut distributions for the second time. It will continue having some challenges.
WAIT
Very diversified holdings but were hard hit by the propane distribution portion of the business. Hasn’t been helped by the warn winters we have been experiencing. Valuation wise, it is looking relatively attractive, but wait until the Q1 results are released when it is expected the price will drop further and that would be a reasonable time to get in.
DON'T BUY
Share price has been almost cut in half. Propane business has slowed. Acquired businesses in other areas that are not as high quality. Payout ratio is now 100%. No catalyst to make it go up in the near term.
