They had changed some key management positions, which has cleaned the company up along with the balance sheet over the past couple of quarters. It trades at about 12 times earnings and earnings are growing by 20% next year. It is also a play on Amazon as there are rumours they will provide more fleet equipment to them and perhaps even receive some financial backing from them. Yield 1.42% (Analysts’ price target is $13.91)

More upside? He took profit a while ago. It has great price momentum, but the low ROE, high valuation metrics, and high debt levels make it look very expensive. He would like to see it pullback before buying in again.

New management team has done quite well this year. NA's leading fleet manager. Recently had a debt upgrade, so this will add to its profitability. Nice free cashflow. Small, but growing, dividend. Trades at only 11x next year's earnings. Yield is 1.57%. (Analysts’ price target is $13.86)

They just had a pretty solid quarter. They are doing some cost-cutting and achieved greater than targeted results. They are on the higher risk end of the spectrum but with these results it is looking interesting.

(A Top Pick Sep 05/18, Up 53%) He had to stomach a lot of volatility to hang onto it. He took some losses initially. 18 months ago they went into a leasing venture with an American company that didn't work out. EFN was a favourite short on the market, bottoming around $3. But it's the #1 fleet manager in North America and Australia, a great business which generates a ton of free cash flow. New managers have turned EFN around, fixing the balance sheet.

It is a fairly new company on the market. A dividend of 9% is a warning signal and the dividend could be cut or illuminated. If this happens, the stock price will take a hit.

(A Top Pick Jul 06/18, Up 76%) #1 in corporate vehicle leasing. He bought it when they just came off a failed sale, and had to restructure with a write-down. The CEO was replaced. Now, earnings have recovered. Scores in the top 5% for price momentum. It's now expensive with high valuations. They beat a recent quarter, but carry a lot of debt. Valuation is way up. Pays only 1.7% yield, so you rely on growth.

This was rumoured to be up for sale but the value-maximization process failed and many US catalyst-investors dumped their shares, creating a compelling valuation. It trades at 0.7x book, which is well below its historical average and below the industry. They do fleet management, their leasing business is fairly stable and mainly in the U.S. They have good customer diversity and increasing origination. The yield is 5% and well covered. He thinks the worst is behind this stock and it is time to pick it up. (Analysts’ price target is $7.06)

He used to own it. They had an opportunity to grow their leasing platform in the U.S., but in mid-2016 their strategy stalled. They tried to sell data analytics to their clients without success. That's when he exited. Also, management has turned over recently and the company is now heavily leveraged. Stock is cheap, so now may be an opportunity. The risk has likely passed.

Lost half its value this year. Doesn't look good, fundamentally. Buy on a short-term basis. Stock has been consolidating. Set a $3.80 stop. Could reach $5 short-term. Volume is okay.
