BUY

Still likes it. Illiquid. High multiple. Great buying opportunity. Great Canadian name, with a huge US base. Asset light, very little capex. Grows organically quite nicely, plus successful tuck-in acquisitions. Good market share and they can continue to buy in a fragmented market. Contracts are inflation protected.

BUY

Beat on top and bottom lines, yet price still down. Majority of income from US. Strong economics, well run, high quality. Valuation got ahead of the fundamentals, nothing wrong with the company. Solid business, good management team. Historically, a good compounder.

BUY on WEAKNESS

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks FSV has easily beaten its last four quarters. The dividend pays only 0.57%, so you’re not buying this for income, but for growth. Its EPS has grown 51.66% in the past year. Its ROI stands at nearly 10%, which is higher than peers such as Tricon’s 6.69%. However, FirstService’s PE is 46.5x, far higher than, say, Morguard’s which is 6x. Because of the high PE, investors tend to sell FSV hard on any bad news. The strategy here would be to buy on such pullbacks, and volatility has gripped the markets since the year began. Read 4 Promising TSX Stocks for our full analysis.

Great Canadian company. Property management plus franchises like California Closets. Grows organically, plus tuck-in acquisitions. Price-protected contracts. Opportunities in a fragmented industry, asset light, low capex. Not as liquid, as management owns shares. At low end of trading range, so a good time to buy. Yield is 0.60%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 21/20, Up 0%)(Total return not available.) Great Canadian company. Asset lite, minimal fixed costs, low capex. Grow organically and by acquisition, which they do very well. Executes incredibly well. He'd buy it here or on any pullback.

COMMENT

He's long owned this. Some of their businesses are maintaining apartment buildings, but also gated communities in the US. They have little capital expenditure and they hold asset-lite businesses. They've grown organically and buy mom and pop businesses as well as tuck-in acquisitions. Plus they operate a franchise business that continues to grow. Office buildings won't go away--they will still need to be serviced post-Covid, so that's not an issue, though occupants may want to pay less for these spaces and that could become an issue.

other services

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 22/20, Up 44%) Continues to impress. Management team is one of top 10 in Canada. Renovations are a great tailwind for them. Property management is stable source of revenue. Great balance sheet. Keep holding.

BUY on WEAKNESS

Has long held this. Great company, but it's always traded at a high multiple. Given the high PE, shareholders sell hard on any bad news, so he adds when it suffers a 5-10% pullback, like a bad quarter. Is a capital-lite business that grows organically plus through tuck-in buys. Great management which owns a lot of stock.

other services

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 19/19, Up 44%) Property management plus franchises like California Closets. Capital light. Grow organically and by acquisition. Fragmented industry, so a lot of opportunity for bolt-on acquisitions. Very strong management. Great Canadian business. Buy when volatility creates dips.
