The largest North American manufacturer of fiberglass underground fuel tanks for gas stations. A huge free cash flow generator. They just paid another special dividend after reporting Q4 numbers, as well as raising their common dividend again. They effectively generate more cash than they really know what to do with. A fantastic name to own for an income oriented investor.
An interesting business. They basically make underground fiberglass tanks. A lot are used to replace the metal tanks at gas stations. They don’t have a lot of competition, and they generate nice cash flow. The stock is not cheap, but also not super expensive. If it was in the $13 range, he would certainly look at it.
Underground tanks for storing liquids. Recently increased dividends by 50% and paid a special dividend on top of that. They are in a sweet spot right now where there is a turn over of a lot of underground tanks. Valuation is still pretty reasonable at about 14X next year’s earnings. He really likes this company.
A business he likes because it is an environmental play. They sell fibre glass storage units for gas stations. The big play here is that old storage tanks were installed 20-30 years ago, and are made out of steel, and which are leaking into water tables. There is no debt on the balance sheet. Generates over 8% free cash flow yield. It made so much cash last year, that they had to pay a special distribution.
Manufactures specialized tanks, especially for petroleum products. A bit of an infrastructure play. When they dig up and replace buildings, they need to replace the tanks that hold water and petroleum. They’ve restructured their business and are focusing on core strengths right now. Has a long-term trend of increasing dividends, and a long-term trend of buying back shares. This impacts on the momentum of the share price. Even after the recent move, it is cheap on most metrics.
