TFI International Inc has shown resilience in a challenging freight environment, with experts indicating a potential recovery from a protracted freight recession. The company has not only been focusing on acquisitions, such as the UPS Freight deal, but has also demonstrated solid financial performance with strong free cash flow and ongoing share buybacks, which helps support its dividends. While some experts, like those who conducted valuations, express caution regarding the company's currently high price multiples, they acknowledge its long-term growth potential and management's effective capital allocation strategies. The general sentiment remains optimistic, although concerns over execution risks and market volatility persist, particularly with potential ongoing tariff impacts affecting the freight sector.
They've grown a lot in the U.S. Has insider ownership, increases dividend, makes good puchases, buys back shares and the strong US economy supports the shipping of goods. Shipping rates are rising because of a shortage of truck drivers, which will last until they raise wages for drivers. TFII will benefit from this shortage. (1.8% dividend, Analysts' price target: $49.29)
He has owned it for a long time. You have to believe in the vision of the CEO. He has built a business that is dominant in the last mile. They also do a lot of Truck load and LTL here and in the US. He has been able to grow what has made them successful. There is always something that is not going as well as it should. Right now they are trying to fix a previous acquisition and that is what is happening this year. He thinks the CEO will do the right thing. The sum of the parts is bigger than the whole.
The company has a few divisions and their US truck load division has been giving them trouble, but US spot truck rates have been improving. Their contracted business will take a while to improve. The Canadian division is fine. This is a business worth a lot more than the sum of the parts – he thinks they may end up selling parts of the business. Yield 2.8%.
Had a kind of a lousy 2017. Going back long-term, this has been an amazing company, and the CEO has been a terrific allocator of capital. They disappointed their guidance a little in 2017, but the street is looking for a really good 2018. He could see it trading at 17 or 18 times earnings. He is buying this hand over fist for new clients.
This is trucking. Doesn’t think it is going to have the best quarter because of the hurricanes, although it looks like business has picked up, so they should do quite well. They move a lot of goods between Canada and the US. Trucking has been weak in the 1st two quarters and it looks like things have improved a great deal. The company is significantly undervalued. The CEO is brilliant, and has a terrific plan of unlocking value. He buys shares back when prices are low.
