TOP PICK
Finning Int
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

With a five year average annual earnings growth of 23%, we reiterate FTT as a TOP PICK.  Upcoming earnings will likely confirm continuation of this trend.  It trades at 10x earnings, 2.3x book and supports a 22% ROE.  We like that cash reserves are growing while debt and shares are 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 $48.22)

Finning Int

Industrials aren't too topical right now. Stock's been in a range for a couple of years, which is usually a positive sign. He'd be comfortable buying in the range, or if it spent more time above $36. Like tipping a Coke machine, sometimes it needs a couple of heaves to get it up through the price level.

50% of revenues are in western Canada, plus Chile and the UK. Higher commodity prices offer this some momentum and pushed FTT to new highs this year. But this is a cyclical name, so careful. Yesterday, CAT shares fell on shrinking demand, so that's a canary in the coalmine for FTT. Profits are decent and so is the PE. Take profits,

Still likes it. They executed very well. Still cheap and have pricing power. Trades at 11x vs. Caterpillar's 14%. Problem is growth is limited. Buy around $36.

HOLD

Mining sector should have a better decade in the 2020s than the 2010s. A great Canadian company, again with benefit of the dividend tax credit.

PAST TOP PICK
Finning Int
(A Top Pick Jan 13/22, Up 0.4%) It's had a string of beats. Still cheap at 11.2x PE. He bought it to play mining. Good growth is doubtful in coming years because of an economic slowdown. A good company. Hold on with you own it. Buy it on weakness or sell calls. You'll be fine for the next 2-3 years.

PAST TOP PICK
Finning Int
(A Top Pick Jan 13/22, Down 23%) Macro deteriorated unexpectedly. Still a great play on the copper and green revolutions without being on the production side. Demand will be high once we get through this cycle. Really cheap. Don't buy more today, but hold and add on weakness. Nice dividend.

TOP PICK

Reopening and global growth play. Significant earnings runway. Peak margins are a ways out. Trades at 12x, 13% EPS growth rate, so PEG really works. Cheaper than CAT. Good at this part of the cycle. Yield is 2.74%. (Analysts’ price target is $42.89)
