TFI International Inc (TFII) has been experiencing a mixed sentiment among experts as the freight cycle shows signs of recovery after enduring a prolonged recession. Many analysts express optimism about the company's management, citing successful acquisitions and ongoing share buybacks, which contribute to its strong financial position. Despite some risks related to the cyclical nature of the freight industry and potential challenges posed by tariffs, several reviews highlight a positive trajectory for EPS growth and free cash flow generation. However, there are underlying concerns regarding valuation, particularly as the share price has reached historical highs, leading some to question if it's time to realize profits. Overall, TFI International is seen as one of the top players in a fragmented market with significant long-term growth potential.

DON'T BUY
There is some question about their balance sheet. When they were acquiring other companies, they were able to issue units at higher prices to pay for them. With the cost of capital being higher, they only have a limited number of options.

Trucking industry is on a bit of an uptrend. Better/cheaper companies are available such as ATS Andlauer (ATS.UN-T), Trimac (TMA.UN-T), Mullen Trucking (MTL.UN-T) or Contrans (CSS.UN-T). This one has been very acquisitive. Multiple is too high for him.

Trucking. More cyclical than he likes. Has performed well as a trust. They continue to need growth by acquisition so new government rules may slow them down. Concerned with the economy affecting this company.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 25/06. Down 6.1%.) Like it as a company, not an income trust. Economy is slowing and trucking tends to slow as well. They where an acquisitive company but were using income units as currency. Feels they will be able to work their way through this.
