Toromont Industries (TIH-T)

Great compounder over the last decade, when they benefited from growth in the Ontario economy. Seeing softness in the space. Park in your portfolio and hold it for the long term. Does trade at a higher multiple. 

Chart appears to be range bound. Would recommend a small position, or watching for leg ups. 

The structural backdrop includes a lot of spending on construction and on US manufacturing facilities. Much better supply/demand for energy and materials than we've had in a decade. These are all customers of FTT.

If you look at the performance of CAT, FTT and TIH over the last year, all look very attractive. TIH does more construction, whereas FTT does more materials and so he'd lean more toward that one.

It's been stuck in consolidation for 3 years, failing to break above $110 a few times. If it falls back to $100, it could be worth a trade. Otherwise, he's cool towards it.

The question was on his preference between Toromont or TFI International. Although Toromnt is good he prefers TFI which has been a great stock and huge performer. It has great management which has deployed capital very well and made smart acquisitions. There is more upside.

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. 

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.
