Firstservice Corp (FSV-T)

It is involved in property management and franchise divisions. It is one of the largest players in the property management side and is also large in the U.S. It can grow by acquisitions and is good at integrating them.

Low capex, lots of free cashflow. Small market share, but lots of opportunity for acquisitions, which they're very good at. Contracts have inflation escalation built-in. Customers are locked into 3-5 year contracts.

Economies of scale. Market leader. Serial acquirer and compounder. Near recession-proof. Inflation-protected contracts. With more damage from climate change events, building a juggernaut restoration service, which has the potential to be a national player. Still small market share. Not cheap, never will be. Still in early innings. Yield is 0.63%.

One of the leaders in the business, but still represents only a small market share. Lots of room to grow. Inflation-protected contracts. Light capex. Incredibly well run.

Recently broke out, so it looks good. Thinks it can get back to the old level around $230. Plenty of upside from where it is now around $200. Chart's done a cup formation and a handle, and now it's breaking out. He plans to hold a little while longer.

Valuation isn't super-cheap, but has checked back to an attractive level. Property management plus various brand-name services. One interesting division is Century Fire, which checks fire extinguishers. Grows by acquisition, funded by free cashflow. Yield is 0.64%.

It is in the property management field and is well managed. Has been pinched with higher labour costs. Since it is expensive he bought Colliers International instead.

Low capex business. Lots of free cashflow. Always trades at higher multiples, but great to buy at these levels. Executes incredibly well. Disciplined acquisitions.
