Clarke Inc. (CKI-T) has shown impressive performance over the past month, particularly with the recent announcement of its renewed Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) for share buybacks, targeting 5% of its outstanding shares within the year. However, the reviews indicate a level of caution, primarily due to the variable nature of its results, which complicates the assessment of long-term trends in its fundamentals. The company carries a significant debt load of $137.8 million and is facing a high trailing earnings valuation of 44.2 times earnings, suggesting it may be expensive compared to its earnings potential. Furthermore, with a market capitalization of $327 million and concentration of ownership (with two shareholders holding 88% of the company), there are concerns around liquidity and the lack of a dividend. This leads to a recommendation for investors to consider more stable options for small-cap investments in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA).
(A Top Pick April 25/16. Up 16.15%.) A small investment management firm. Historically they have done very well in investing in both public and private oil companies, and buying and selling assets. They delivered a special $2 dividend to shareholders in June. He is a little less bullish on this now. Trading at a slight discount to Book, but not as much as before. Feels there are more interesting alternatives now.
They did a good job Management owns a big chunk and they have a lot of cash. They had a lot of buybacks over the last year.

The stock has really jumped over the last month and the most recent news we see is relating to CKI renewing its NCIB (share buyback plan). CKI plans to buyback 5% of outstanding shares over the next year. Results vary significantly period-to-period making it harder to anlyze and give a clear answer if we are seeing a long-term trend of fundementals improving. The balance sheet has quite a bit of debt at $137.8M in net debt. On a trailing earnings basis, CKI is very expensive at 44.2x. While the recent performance has been strong, we do not like the lumpiness in results and the size risk at $327M in market cap. We think investors could look elsewhere for a small cap TFSA investment. It is essentially a holding company and two shareholders own 88% of the company. With no dividend, we would prefer to see secular growth and better liquidity.
