PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 21/26, Up 46.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MAL has achieved its target at $29.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $20) to $22.  

BUY

The five-year chart looks good. Since early 2025, the chart shows higher highs and higher lows. Likes it.

TOP PICK

High insider ownership, so company is relatively undiscovered. One investor owns more than 50% of the company -- so it doesn't screen well for institutional investors. Business is booming. 

Defense (~30% of its business, and he anticipates 45-50% in future) and aerospace. Good backlog. Seeing record requests for proposals, especially on defense. Huge operating leverage to get higher margins, which will increase FCF. One of the cheapest in the sector within NA. Yield is 0.83%.

(Analysts’ price target is $28.17)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings demonstrated growing cash reserves, while debt was retired and shares bought back.  Purchasers of their airplane components have large backlog orders from 2025 leftover and spending on defense aviation is expected to grow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $18) to $20, looking to achieve $29 -- upside potential of 20%.  Yield 0.8%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  As a Canadian based aerospace developer the recent Federal government military spending plans will be positive.  It trades at 25x earnings and under 2x book.  Latest reported cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back.  We continue to recommend a stop at $18.00, looking to achieve $25.50 -- upside potential over 15%.  Yield 0.9%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MAL, the Canadian based aerospace company with global market reach as a TOP PICK.  Just over one-third of revenue is derived from defense spending.  They are providing key engine components for South Korea and are involved with the Gripen fighter that Canadian is considering for purchase.   It trades at 27x earnings and 1.3x book.  Previously reported earnings showed good cash reserve growth, while they retired debt and bought back shares.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $13.00) to $15.50, looking to achieve $22.00 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 1.1%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed a 17% increase in EPS and a 25% increase in gross profits.  The aerospace parts maker relies on the US for less than 25% of its revenues with the balance primarily in Canada and the rest in Europe (military/defense accounts for about a third of revenues).  It trades at 24x earnings and 1.1x book.  Cash reserves are growing, as debt is retired and shares bought back.  We continue to recommend a stop at $13, looking to achieve $21 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

This Canadian aerospace manufacturing company has formed broad agreements recently with India and Korea.  Recently reported earnings showed a 70% increase in quarterly income, allowing cash reserves to grow while debt was retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 24x earnings and 1.2x book.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $13, looking to achieve $21 -- upside over 22%.  Yield 1.1%

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

The stock is cheap, and acting better. The sector (in the US, mostly) has been seeing some good numbers recently. It hit a 52-week high this week. We think it can be held, and >$10 is possible, even $12 under good conditions. $16 we think would be a stretch.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Researc

EPS of 11c beat estimates of 10c; Revenue of $235.2M missed estimates by 2.6%. EBITDA of $21.69M missed estimates by 10%. Revenue rose 5.3%. EPS rose from 7c in the prior period. EBITDA rose 17%. Canada revenue declined, but US revenue rose more than 20% on volume increases for fighter and wide-bodied aircraft. Strong growth is expected in 2024 overall. We would consider the quarter, OK, but not great. The stock remains cheap, but unexcitng.

PARTIAL BUY
Good exposure to aerospace and the owns it. He would not be selling here. Not a ton of growth and there are some headwinds in the market right now. Murray Edwards owns about 75% of this. The multiples are so low, he would not shy away from buying it at these prices.
HOLD
Trades at a cheap 10x earnings. Problem is this stock is very illiquid. The biggest shareholder owns 70% (Murray Edwards of CNQ-T). He's accumulated shares over the years. If the Boeing Max 737 comes back, it will boost this stock. The dividend is minimal. A safe stock in the aerospace sector. He sells around $18, trading it around, but it's still a big position for him.
DON'T BUY
A yield of about 2%, 15% payout and it ranks well in his model. Analysts suggest a 24% upside. But the earnings outlook is modest. Their PEG ratio suggests they are expensive.
COMMENT
Not his favourite in this space, though he follows it. because it's a Canadian company selling into U.S. aerospace, it could suffer American protectionism. He prefers HRX, though they're both good companies.
