The cannabis space for him has been a no-go zone for some time. He cannot get around the valuation of what these companies should be worth. It has rolled off. There was $2 Billion of equity that came to market. There are a lot of trapped buyers that are late to the party. The challenge is what you pay for the business. It is a short for him. There could be takeouts in the space.
It has become more topical recently. They are in commercial print and are a consolidator. They are good at generating cash flow from what has been a declining business. 8 times PE. They are using the cash flow wisely to acquire. About 48% of their business is packaging. Their equity issue was not completely sold, but has since it was issued. (Analysts’ target: $30.20).
Happy to see the markets recover the past few days, but we're still in a down trade at high risk levels. This is one of the most unpredictable first quarters in a long time. It's anybody's guess. He's been elevating cash levels and staying patient. Trump is a negotiator and a bully. Is he bark or bite? Mostly bark, then he pulls back his stance. But what if he doesn't pull back, like he sparks a real trade war? This worries him. It's a difficult time now. He still likes the big tech stocks. Will the TSX get back on its feet? (He's been negative Canadian and oil/gas for a long time.)
FANG stocks are expensive, like MSFT-Q. It scores well for him on price momentum and has high return on equity. They have a yield now and beat on the last quarter.
