CAT
HOLD

Distributes Caterpillar products. Great run, stable stock. Could be a HALO company. Lots of uncertainty in Canada around infrastructure and energy.

He'd rather own CAT. This one's more an actual HALO.

WATCH

Has had a lovely move from $45. Now run past its FMV. Stock has to hold at $78; if not, expect a bigger correction. Sell at that point. Trend of earnings forecast is flat.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Equipment dealers are a great place to be -- pass through inflation very well, good plays on mining and global growth. The theme has legs for the next 3-5 years. Buy, but at a lower level.

BUY

The market cycle model is essentially the business cycle with its 5 different phases. Phases 4 and 5 are the contraction phases, when you typically see the stock market coming under pressure. Phases 1, 2, and 3 are the expansion phases and they typically last a year. 

His team believes that last year was phase 1, so now we're in phase 2. This matters because industrials typically do well in phase 2. They're bullish on industrials generally.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 12/24, Up 22%)

Correlated with copper, and it set up nicely with where we were in the business cycle. Big breakout over the last 2 months. Good-looking chart with higher highs and lows. Sees further upside into August.

DON'T BUY

Repeatedly compares this to TIH, and TIH always comes out on top in terms of ROIC and dividend growth.

HOLD
For long-term growth.

Q3 miss due to softness in Western Canada. Capital discipline. Copper activity has been pretty solid, but Trump means there's not going to be as much thirst to go green. Pricing power, but that's over for now. Doesn't see a lot of growth over next couple of years.

Good over the long term. If it's in your non-registered account, don't sell. Easier ways to make $$ over the next 12 months.

DON'T BUY

Because it's more focused on resources in Western Canada, has had a tougher time. Especially with the decline in mining, and oil & gas being very cyclical.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate FTT as a TOP PICK following recently reported record high free quarterly cash flow of $330 million.  Management commented that order backlogs are growing, while velocity of deliveries is growing.  It trades at 11x earnings, 2.1x book and supports a ROE of 20%.  We like that cash reserves are growing while debt is retired and shares bought back.  We continue to recommend a stop at $34, looking to achieve $49 -- upside potential of 19%.  Yield 2.6%

(Analysts’ price target is $49.33)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate FTT, the largest dealer of Caterpillar heavy equipment in the world, as a TOP PICK.  They announced $700 million of new orders in April, with orders from Chile, Canada, the UK and Ireland.   It trades at 12x earnings, under 2.5x book and supports a 20% ROE.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back.  The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow.   We continue to recommend a stop at $34, looking to achieve $48 -- upside potential of 20%.  Yield 2.4%   

(Analysts’ price target is $48.38)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 12/24, Down 5%)

Phase three of market cycle is good for this business. Staple of economy. Expecting more lift in the stock, but trend remains up and to the right. Will continue to own. 

DON'T BUY

She'd rather own CAT, which she's been looking at. Go to the company that makes the machinery, rather than to the distributor.
