Westshore Terminals Inc. (WTE-T) faces challenges amid significant uncertainty in the transport sector, mainly due to the proposed rail merger in the United States, which could impact shipping volumes. Analysts express concerns that volumes might be diverted to competing ports, which could directly affect Westshore's business activities. Despite this uncertainty, there is an overall sense of cautious optimism, with experts suggesting that the company will likely withstand these challenges in the long run. The stock has been fluctuating within a range, indicative of market apprehension and a potential wait-and-see strategy among investors. With a decent dividend yield providing some returns, it may still attract long-term investors while we monitor developments in its operational environment.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Handles all the coal shipments coming out of their BC terminals. Teck Resources (TCK.B-T) is planning on expanding their met coal production so Westshore is planning on expanding some of their facilities. A lot of the high-yield names have attracted capital and it is probably better to wait for this to pull back.

BUY

This is a name that he likes.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Coal handling facility and terminal. Coal volumes have come down dramatically. Huge movement from coal to gas in the US that has also impacted the rail names. He would buy sub-$24.

BUY

Not a stock that you can expect a lot of capital appreciation in. Have pricing power because they have unique attributes of their asset base. Dividend yield of 5%.

BUY

Very steady business, in spite of the volatility in coal prices. Feels it is a safe dividend and not a bad place for somebody to be looking for, not a lot of growth, but a nice steady yield. 5% dividend yield.

BUY
Have coal handling terminals but about 80% of their business is take-or-pay contracts with the companies they are dealing with so they are going to get paid regardless of the amount of coal. Longer-term growth story is intact. They'll increase their capacity 10%-15% in 2-3 years, which will end up in a very material increase in EBITDA and distributions are going to grow alongside of that. Expect it will probably be worth $28-$30 a year from now. 5% yield.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Not exposed to coal prices but to coal volumes. Owns the company and if the stock went down, he would buy more. It's always expensive and always looks expensive but it is a good long life asset. 5.1% yield.
TOP PICK
Good company and they will hold it because they think the dividend will be increased quite substantially. Contract they will renew with TCK at considerably higher prices. It could eventually be taken out by TCK. The one thing that could go wrong is that it is a pretty expensive stock. Rival terminals could not take business away for 4 to 5 years.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Balance sheet is conservative and distribution is completely doable. This is a proxy for China in that they have the terminals where coal is shipped to the far east. Sold his holdings when the price got to this point. Would be interested in the low $20s.
DON'T BUY
Terminal for coking coal going to Asia. Tremendous infrastructure asset. Valuation is way too expensive, especially if he is worried over the next 3-6 months.
HOLD
Dividend is safe. Primarily a coal company. They can keep the distribution but it may not go up.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The key for them is the need for exported coal. Coming off some operational problems. Looks okay for a long-term investor. Like to see it an little bit lower before committing.
BUY
Likes that it doesn’t change a whole lot. Growing capacity. Dominant coal terminal on west coast. Nice yield and not over sensitive to price of coal.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 23/10. Up 11.78%.) Great asset. There won't be another coal terminal on the west coast. Really a tollbooth. Very well run. Good yield.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has been looking at this but would like to see it a little less expensive. One of the primary handlers of coal going overseas and that demand is fairly robust and should continue to be so over the long run.
