DON'T BUY

Not too long ago this company was on their short list. They are in trouble. They blown up their balance sheet and the returns are terrible. Hasbro (HAS-Q) has put up a potential bid out there and it would make a lot of sense. Your best hope is that buyout. It’s too risky. Maybe they will just wait for them to go bankrupt and pick the assets. They are really not in great shape.

COMMENT

A good little Canadian story.This company is outstanding compared to Mattel (MAT-Q) or Hasbro (HAS-Q). The return on capital is 41%. Very strong balance sheet, valuation looks good. He really likes this company.

TOP PICK

Construction and infrastructure. Mostly energy, communication, energy and utilities. They are going to get some more business in communication because of the build out of 5G. Looks undervalued, improving their return, good opportunity in communication this year. (Analysts’ price target is $57.)

TOP PICK

The pet industry is really growing. Producing a 30% return on capital. They are organic and really good producers. (Analysts’ price target is $32.)

TOP PICK

Home Building. They have quite a bit of operations in the US. which he thinks are going to benefit from the tax bill that was passed. Really good quite consistent company as well. (Analysts’ price target is $24.50.)
