Bombardier Inc (B)

Will they sell their train or business jet division? He sold this a long time ago after they kept failing to build a plane and increasing their costs. They must sell something to capitalize their balance sheet that carries around $10 billion net debt. He doesn't know what they'll sell. Investors have a sour taste over the company, which lacks credibility on the street.

It's been a disaster for so long and he's about to retire. Problem are the huge government subsidies, lacking efficiency yet capital intensive. Managers have never been straight shooters. Avoid.

Not a fan. Was making lower highs. Totally avoid it unless it shows some positive moves, and these aren't in sight. He can't say enough bad about this company on so many fronts. (Analysts’ price target is $2.69)

He thinks the company still has a ways to go to prove it can make deliveries. Overall, people have been disappointed with this company for some time. The company must get back to a sustainable level of profitability -- something he does not see happening soon.

A tempting stock. In some ways, it has turned around. The horizon has cleared to a degree. The troublesome aviation side has been sold off. Their subway and train business has had problems recently. Looking at the company, things should get better but this situation has already seen.

He is one of the few to think this could be a speculative buy. They have two viable global business lines (trains and jets). Their margins are beginning to improve. It is being sold off right now for tax loss reasons. He sees them being cash flow positive next year which could create a windfall.

Every taxpayer is invested in this one, he laughs. Technically it tried to break out to the upside, but it failed. He would put his money elsewhere. It is dead money right now.

He avoids it due to volatility. It's been a weak performer this year and the news isn't getting better. Also, there is a growing inventory of used jets on the market, which will pressure new jets that Bombardier makes.

The issue is that there is a build cycle and lag. There is also the question of delayed deliveries. He wouldn't be a buyer right now since it reminds him of GE. He would take the tax loss and find other opportunities.

Other than for short term traders, it should be avoided and always should have been.

It is an interesting play here. One would need to understand the fundamentals which he does not focus on. Looking at the chart, there were issues and now a bottom is developing. You would need to take out the $2 resistance. He would avoid it. It is completely speculative on a turnaround.

Can they cover their debt payments? Transportation division is stumbling with an awful last quarter that pushed the price below 2$

Don't touch it. There's a huge hole in the balance sheet of $8-9 billion of funded debt with $7 billion of negative shareholders' equity. They sold off most of the products (C series) they can, like the Blue Jays selling off their stars, left with low-margin products. Meanwhile, you still have the same nepotistic, incompetent management of questionable morality in charge. It amazes him. Hopes the government stops subsidizing BBD, but an election is coming.

(A Top Pick Jan 10/19, Down 0.5%) Still likes it. It's cyclical and a heartbreaking stock with so many politics involved. Given volatility he will take some profits sooner than later. Long-term could be challenging. Today, it's good based on risk/reward. At least worth looking at. If it breaks below $2, there's 10% downside vs. 100% upside.

Bombardier bonds Don't buy one high-yield bond. Bombardier has long had negative cash flow that they haven't changed in years.
