Trading at 11x earnings and 2.3x book, we again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK. The company recently announced a $395 million acquisition in Australia that will expand their presence there further. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $25) to $26 at this time, looking to achieve $40 -- upside potential over 35%. Yield 1.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $40.40)NOA is reiterated as a TOP PICK following its recent announcement to acquire an Australian heavy equipment services company. This will greatly expand their market reach. It currently trades at 13x earnings and supports a 26% ROE. Cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $23) to $25, looking to achieve $40 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 1.0%
(Analysts’ price target is $40.40)The stock was also up on very strong earnings, with EPS more than 14% ahead of estimates and sales more than 8% ahead. For a $900M company, the $395M acquisition is very significant. NOA entered Australia two years ago, and this deal instantly gives it scale and market share, and allows it to serve its global customers better. It also further diversifies its overall business. It adds about 1,400 employees and a $4B backlog. It is highly accretive to sales and earnings. Debt-financed, there is risk, but the earnings boost is substantial. We think it is a solid deal, and the stock remains cheap overall despite the gains last week.

We reiterate NOA, one of Canada's largest heavy construction and mining contractors as a TOP PICK. The company recently reported record revenue on wholly-owned business, as oil sands activity improved and operating margins widened. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back. It trades at 10x earnings and 2x book, while supporting a 24% ROE. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $23, looking to achieve $30 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.3%
(Analysts’ price target is $30.17)Diversified beyond heavy oil, now more of a full engineering company for the resource industry. Stock's acting better. He hasn't added recently. Not as screamingly cheap as it was. Increased costs are squeezing margins.
We again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK. Management reports the company is experiencing "less skilled trade vacancies and improved equipment utilization" as it emerges from the effects of the pandemic. It trades under 2x book value and supports a 20% ROE. The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We like that cash reserves have been growing, while debt is aggressively retired and shares are bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $14) to $16, looking to achieve $24 -- upside potential of 16%. Yield %
