DON'T BUY

This is a growth by acquisition company that specializes in railway ties and has now expanded into utility poles. These are pretty mature markets. You want a combination of acquisitive growth and organic growth, so there are better opportunities elsewhere.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 27/19, Down 19%) They're part of a duopoly. It enjoys highly recurring revenues. SJ shouldn't be impacted by the virus, just in their lumber segment. Strong balance sheet. More acquisitions to come for them in the pole side. The stock hasn't been this cheap in a decade. Trades at 13x earnings and has room to grow its dividend. A slam dunk.

misc industrial products

HOLD

A pretty boring company and will grow over time. They make good acquisitions and have set themselves up properly. They are not expensive but debt is a little too high. It will not disappoint you over the next 10 years but never excite you, either.

misc industrial products

DON'T BUY

He sold his shares, tired of disappointing earnings. They ran into inventory and costing problems.

misc industrial products

DON'T BUY

He owned it. SJ is coming back into range and had a decent quarter. He likes their fundamental business, but the replacement cycles can vary a lot. He'll wait a quarter or two.

misc industrial products

BUY

He likes it. They have seen a bit of a downdraft due to lumber prices. The business itself is pretty consistent. They are guiding to higher revenues next year. He thinks they have turned a bit of a quarter here. He does not have too many concerns.

misc industrial products

STRONG BUY

He bought within the last 12 months. The CEO retired and the stock had an over-reaction to it. The stock lost some of its acquisition multiple but now it is a bargain. The margins are improving. There are acquisitions to be mode in the segment. He would definitely buy at these levels. 80% of the business is recurring. The utility pole side has a lot of growth because of renewable energy growth.

misc industrial products

WATCH

He always wanted to own it. They have huge market share and big recurring revenue. A solid business. But the CEO left and that's halted organic growth and has created negative optics. This will regain their footing. Watch the coming quarters.

misc industrial products

DON'T BUY

He's not as high on this vs. the last time he talked about it. The CEO left, which is not a good sign. It's under review for him now. He may not own it later.

misc industrial products

HOLD

Or buy the railroads? It's been rangebound for years. They do all right things, but the founder and CEO left. Acquisitions helped their growth profile. A lot of its revenue comes from maintenance of railways, so it's solid. He's waiting for better direction from management. Overall, a fine company. Don't switch to the rails, because we're in a fragile economy so if something happens, the rails get hurt.

TOP PICK

Nobody has replaced wooden railway ties, which regularly wear out--and SJ supplies them. He expects good years of earnings ahead. (Analysts’ price target is $51.86)

misc industrial products

TOP PICK

Treading water for 4 years. Margins were squeezed, oversupply. Duopoly in North America. Margins improving, organic growth is coming back. Nice steady replacement market business. Growing their lumber business through Home Depot. Just bought his position. Going to crank up dividends aggressively. Hold it for the long run. Yield is 1.3%. (Analysts’ price target is $51.29)

misc industrial products

BUY

The founding families completely sold their shares, so SJ had a rough 2018. But this year could be a growth year. But this can be a cyclical business--replacing train tracks. They should grow revenues 3-5% a year and make further acquisitions. Expects dividend growth. Very undervalued.
