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

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.

PAST TOP PICK
Clarke Inc.

(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.

DON'T BUY
Clarke Inc.
Was a lot of hype about the guy behind the company being another Warren Buffett and seems to have a stable of pretty ordinary companies right now but some of them may be value traps. Stock is close to being fairly valued.

BUY
Clarke Inc.
Buying out of favour businesses that they feel have an intrinsic value. An interesting portfolio play that has broadened them beyond the original trucking business. Good management.
