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

Toromont Industries (TIH-T) has generated considerable interest among analysts, particularly due to its role as the largest Caterpillar dealer in Canada and its involvement in the heavy equipment sector tied to infrastructure development. The stock has seen a significant rally, largely attributed to anticipated spending in AI data center infrastructure, which has led to a surge in expectations surrounding its performance. However, experts highlight concerns over its current valuation, which now sits at a PE ratio of 40x, significantly above its historical norm of 12-15x. Some analysts express caution, suggesting it may be time to take profits, as much of the positive sentiment appears priced in. They advocate for a more moderate position size and recommend waiting for a potential market pullback before making further investments.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Eastern Canada Caterpillar dealer.
Very strong company.
Used to own shares in company.
Valuation full at the moment.
Wait for shares to fall before buying. 

Unspecified

There is not great growth in the industry of heavy equipment but it has good management making good acquisitions. It is less exposed to the commodity cycle than Finning. He likes it but doesn't own it.

BUY
It's the time for industrials, from late January into early May. TIH could do well in February. The chart shows higher lows, which is good.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
We're in a recessionary timeframe right now, so companies that provide heavy equipment tend not to do well. Higher recurring revenues from maintenance, so they've been able to hold their own. Refrigeration unit is struggling, but backlog continues to grow. Low $90s a good time to buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 03/21, Up 58%) Continues to like the name. Fits peanut butter & chocolate play (intersection of industrial and materials business). Will continue to hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 08/22, Down 13%) Disappointing. Concerns on slowdown of the economy. 40% of revenue comes from maintenance and support, so it's less cyclical than others. Still likes its fundamentals. Good backlog. Should benefit from government infrastructure spend during a slowdown.
TOP PICK
Very difficult to get construction equipment given supply chain disruptions - creating opportunity for business. Back -log at record high with improving margins and strong earnings/revenue. Pristine balance sheet with no debt and net cash. Likely will see company increase M&A activity. Strong management team with good track record of capital allocation.
BUY
Distributes Caterpillar and heavy equipment. It is conservatively managed and financed and has been a perennial out-performer with dividend growth. Some cyclicality but less than producers since they are dealerships. It is asset light so has lower costs.
BUY
Long term investment and owned since 1998. Up 28% YTD, 23% for 5 Years and 16% the last 15 years. Above average growth rates because is oligopoly. Covers most of Eastern Canada. Current assets greater than current liabilities. Great management team and returns continue to grow. Dividend has averaged around 14% growth per year.
BUY

TOP PICK
One of his favourite companies in Canada. Lower risk. Hold it for the long term. A first-class business. The CEO delivers beat after beat, sometimes by a wide margin. Lower risk. Yield is 1.30%. (Analysts’ price target is $112.67)

Just had a great quarter. The company just keeps chugging. This name keeps getting better. Beat earnings by 20% and 26% up YoY. Backlog is at record levels, and anticipated recovery. Excellent balance sheet with capital ready to deploy for acquisitions. Modelling 21% EPS growth. Trades at 24x. Bought after earnings and you can continue to build positions into this name.

BUY

TIH vs. CAT Instead of Caterpillar, he prefers Toromont, which has higher dividend growth and better price performance.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 01/19, Up 29%) A mystery since it has done well despite the pandemic. Distributor for Caterpillar equipment, constructions, power systems, etc. Home building is doing well and construction is doing well. Gold mining is also back in full swing. Their customers are having a good year. Scores well on all 3 metrics. A stable stock in the industrial sector.
