Pizza Pizza Royalty, with symbol PZA-T, is a company that is not as actively traded due to its smaller market cap. Experts have conflicting views on the potential of this stock, with some praising its strong dividend yield and stable earnings, while others note the downward trend in trading activity and slower growth. Overall, the company is seen as a solid small-cap business that pays a steady dividend, but with some caution due to its lower trading volumes.

Not as much trading activity due to smaller market cap. Under a "distribution" trend (steadily lower highs), which indicates a downward trend. Not a good sign for momentum traders. Would wait for bottom before buying.

TOP PICK
Pizza Pizza Royalty

The fast food chain is as ubiquitous as Starbucks or Tim Horton's in Canada, but flies under the radar of Bay Street. Only one analyst covers PZA, but rates it a buy. What's to like? PZA pays a 6.3% dividend yield which the company increased 3.3% three months ago. Its last quarter topped expectations, while it beat EPS in the prior three. Beta is a steady 0.99. During the first nine months of 2023 same-store sales rose 9.8% while EPS climbed 12.4%. Caveats: average daily volumes are only 23,819, and the company has no moat, though it is an established brand with locations everywhere.

A good small-cap and a solid business. A sleepy stock that's overlooked, but they execute and pay a steady dividend. Pays a nice dividend of over 6%.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

PZA is a $457.9M company that pays a 6.4% yield. Its performance has been quite resilient over the last few years, and it now trades at a 14.6X forward earnings multiple. PZA operates as a royalty company that collects stable royalty earnings from the franchisee and pays out almost all of its cash flow as distributions. Its balance sheet is decent, with net debt of $39.8M, strong profit margins, and recent sales growth of ~13%. Going forward its sales and earnings are expected to grow in the high-single digits this year, and then ~3% to 5% thereafter, along with inflation. Although growth is not that fast, it is stable, and predictable in earnings and distribution payments. Overall, we like this name for income purposes.

This Canadian chain is everywhere and its brand is known by everyone. That is PZA‘s strength—an entrenched fast-food chain with locations to serve nearly every corner of this massive country. If an economic slowdown hits, PZA will endure as diners trade down and loyal customers will continue to snack here.
Some numbers work in PZA’s favour: trading at a beta of 1.04, a three-year return of 65.69%, and paying a dividend of nearly 6%. However, that comes at a payout ratio of 92%, while EPS growth shrank 5% YOY. Read Planes, pizza and clothes for our full analysis.

Pizza Pizza Royalty
Small cap. Royalty structure on number of pizzas sold, not involved in the day-to-day operations. Safe, stable, and easy. Shares have moved up considerably, wait for a pullback. Ordering a pizza isn't the only game in town anymore, space is competitive. Nice dividend yield of about 6%.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Pizza chains are not the same, and we’re not talking taste. Pizza Pizza suffers from being a Canadian chain where reopenings will take longer to roll-out than in America. Though PZA trades at only 13.65x earnings and pays a 6.29% dividend, it’s also missed two of its last four quarters and its payout ratio is 88.67%. That ratio doesn’t leave much breathing room if there’s a drop in profits. Also, PZA’s dividend has declined about 4.5% annually over the past decade.

The yield is almost 9%, but he'd prefer a lower dividend with better growth. They are losing market share. Don't buy just for the yield. In fact, sell if the yield hits 10%.

He does not own this. There has been a lot of consolidation in the retail food space. The company has been withering a bit and is feeling the impact of Uber Eats. The question is if they can be re-define themselves. He hopes they don't cut the dividend. He would not buy into it.

Pizza Pizza Royalty
Pays a big yield, but the stock has done poorly. Can they sustain the yield? He doesn't like restaurant stocks--we're at the top of the cycle, so people may eat out less. PZA is struggling with its market position against competitors. They need re-branding or new management as a catalyst.

He once owned it. He prefers Domino. PZA has big Alberta exposure and has had trouble getting going there. Valuation and high yield are compelling now, but he needs to see a positive catalyst to turn around their story.

COMMENT
Pizza Pizza Royalty
So much of it depends on the ability of the company to manage its cash flow. As long as same store sales holds up, it looks like it is turning the corner and can do better.

A royalty company. Low risk dividend overall. He likes it. Income names have been beaten up. Overtime it will come back.

Everybody loves pizza, but you can throw up looking at PZA's stock price. We all grew up on Pizza Pizza, but now kids can order from so many different options. The dividend is in trouble and needs to be cut. They're great marketers, but this can only go so far. They need to re-organize, maybe privatize.
