TSE:WJX
Equipment company with about 50% revenues coming from heavy trucks, 25% from industrial components and 25% from power systems. A play on economic growth in Canada. Purchased some big trucks on spec that they are planning on selling in 2013, which is a little bit concerning. Very clean balance sheet EBITDA is 0.5X. Management has publicly said that as long as the EBITDA is lower than 1.5-2, they will use debt to sustain the dividend.
Company is a little more cautious on 2nd half guidance and some softening power systems sales. However, order quoting activity is still pretty robust. Pretty expensive valuation trading at 7.5X to EBITDA versus Finning (FTT-T) at 6.2. Payout ratios are fine for 2012-2013. You are really buying this for yield and if there is “risk on” in the market this name could go higher.
A lot of exposure indirectly to commodities in the oil sands and mining. With the whole Keystone issue and concerns around some of the CapX in the oil sands slowing down he is on the sidelines with some of these names.
