Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Pet Valu Holdings is the leading pet retailer in Canada with a recession-proof business model. However, the company has experienced a slowdown in organic same-store sales growth, but has been expanding in underserved markets. The stock's PE has fallen from 30x to 15x and now stands at 17-20x, which is considered reasonable considering its growth potential and cash flow. Despite missing some expectations, the company reported better-than-expected adjusted earnings per share, albeit with lower-than-expected same-store sales growth. The guidance for 2023 remains unchanged, with plans for new store operations. Overall, the stock is seen as fairly valued, with a solid long-term outlook.

Pet Valu Holdings

Canada's largest retailer in the space. Industry growth driven by pet adoption, and higher spending per pet. Really strong 22% EBITDA margins. Healthy free cashflow, reinvested in opening new stores and distribution centres. Consistently beats consensus. 

Same-store sales growth has slowed since pandemic moves. Stock's corrected to 19x earnings, really good buy considering earnings quality and plans for growth. Yield is 1.4%.

BUY
Pet Valu Holdings

It is a good price so he is adding more. It works on a franchise basis, has good management, and it is the only company expanding outside city centres. The only overhang is a big private equity company that owns a controlling position has been peeling off stock. However there is healthy organic growth going forward. Lots of pets were bought during the pandemic and they need food.

A fine business with dominant market share. American upstart, Chewy, spooked investors by expanding to Canada, but he isn't worried. His problem is valuation vs. growth rate, so shares are fairly valued now. Long term you will do okay, but it's not exciting for him now.

COMMENT
Pet Valu Holdings

It missed on expectations last week so the stock is down. It is interesting to note that its emphasis will now be on rural markets. There is more pricing power and less competition in rural areas. Also pet ownership in these areas is high.

TOP PICK
Pet Valu Holdings

Leading pet supplies in Canada by far. Covid drove pet adoption and they need to be fed. There's higher spending per pet, too. He bought on a dip. They are growing double-digit growth and have raised guidance. Keep beating the street. A recession-resistant business.
