TSE:TECK.B
Dual share structure. Family has voting control. In better shape than ever. $8B in cash, paying down debt, increasing dividend. Issue is upcoming vote to split company, which would make a takeover difficult, thereby keeping the two new companies Canadian. On a takeover, dividend would get rolled into the one from the acquiring company.
On his watchlist, part of his bull market game plan. Macro risks could still pull shares lower. There are few names that are more cyclical than copper. With the coal spinoff, TECK will be unencumbered by that legacy asset. The "new" TECK will be more focused on nickel, copper, and other metals. EVs provide growth prospects. Cleaner balance sheet than before.
He doesn't know where it's going to go. Best Canadian play in the base metals sector. Collapsing the dual-class share structure will, generally, be helpful to the company. The cycle will run longer than people think. Inflation will fuel commodities' sustainable run to the upside.
TECK has nearly gone bankrupt twice--too risky. The situation is interesting for shareholders. He does like how a Canadian company, Teck, is standing up for itself.
