Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI-T) is a well-run company that has secured low cost government funding to expand its EV charging infrastructure in western Canada. The company has a healthy ROE, growing cash reserves, and good cash flow from operations. However, some experts are concerned about the company's high debt levels and would prefer defensive pipeline companies in the energy sector. Overall, the company is viewed as a show-me story with potential for growth if Canada's population continues to grow and the company focuses on paying down debt. The recent financial results were positive, with a beat in EPS estimates, sales growth, and expansion of net profit margins.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate PKI as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 18x earnings, 2.5x book and supports a 15% ROE -- healthy for a retailer.  It has secured low cost government funding to expand its EV charging infrastructure in BC.  We like that cash reserves are growing, which is allowing them to continue to retire previous debt.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $38) to $41, looking to achieve $53 -- upside potential of 19%.  Yield 3.0%   

(Analysts’ price target is $52.31)

PKI has acquired attractive financing from the Canadian Infrastructure Bank to expand its EV charging network in western Canada.  It trades at 17x earnings, 2.4x book and supports a 15% ROE and we like that cash reserves are growing with good cash flow from operations.  Its dividend is supported by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow.  We recommend a stop-loss at $38, looking to achieve $52 -- upside potential of 16%.  Yield 3.0%

Distributor of variety of fuel products. Growth by acquisition company. Does not see upside on shares at current price. Well managed company overall. Recent activist investors not good for long term shareholders.

COMMENT
Parkland Fuel Corp

The question was whether it can replicate Couche-Tard's business. The answer was maybe but it would take a long time. He owns Couche-Tard which is very well run and has made good acquisitions.

Acquisition spree, and debt got out of control. Renewed focus on paying down debt. Serial dividend grower. Attractive valuation, but it's a show-me story. If you believe Canada's population is growing and needs to get around, should do well. Great international division. He has a small position, great business, he's not selling.

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

EPS of $0.64 beat estimates of $0.2553 and revenues of $8.16B missed expectations of $8.22B. Sales grew by 7% for the year, driven by large advancements in its International segment. Net profit margins expanded slightly from the previous quarter, and it generated $201M in free cash flows, which were mostly used for repaying debt and paying dividends. Management is confident that it can achieve $2B in Adjusted EBITDA by 2025 without additional acquisitions and while reducing leverage. These were good results and the market is reacting well so far.

They have a junk debt rating. But is well-run, trades around 11-12x PE, and pays over a 4% dividend. Are positioned well in their markets and have been  making smart purchases over the years. Now, he'd like them to pause that, grow organically, pay down debt and raise margins.

DON'T BUY
Parkland Fuel Corp
vs. ATD

They're different, because ATD is retail and convenience stores, whereas PKI that's only half their business, as well as selling energy products to companies and their BC refinery (25% of their business). Also, different analysts cover each company. The refineries tend to get a lower PE and are less ESG-friendly, and are in a heavier-asset industry. Is less stable than ATD. ATD also has Circle K's not necessarily attached to their gas stations, whereas they are attached under PKI. PKI's balance sheet is more leveraged, too. She owns neither company.

Stock tends to peak and trough at the same place over a long time. Hasn't hit the dead bottom yet. If you own, don't sell. Happy to buy if it got just a bit cheaper, when it would be a real steal.

Increased dividend 5% recently.
$40 million in buybacks planned.
Leverage high and is putting pressure on the stock.
No catalyst for a higher share price with flat growth.
Better places to allocate capital to.

A decent long-term stock. Has rebounded in recent weeks. PKI and the sector boast solid fundamentals, and is definitely one to own going into 2023. They are doubling their EV-charging network in western Canada, which he likes, since green energy is a long-term trend.
