BUY

Management issues a concern, but company very strong. Credit lending very good. Earnings expected to grow. Price to growth very good. Would recommend buying. 

BUY

Recent quarterly report very strong. Best natural gas company in Canada. Very strong management. Excellent dividend. Priced very well. Balance sheet excellent. 

HOLD

Company attempting to right the ship. Transition into utilities without renewables. Q3 a little lower than expected. Share price not cheap, but could be better options out there. Would recommend holding and/or selling for tax loss. 

BUY

Strong company with good outlook. Stock has a lot of upside. Trading at premium so would recommend holding for the long term. Founder led with a large amount of skin in the game. 

HOLD

A good product that can be held. Would recommend as a portion of portfolio. Not a capital appreciation strategy - covered call reduces ability for share to appreciate. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Recent quarter fairly good. A lot of metrics increased. Share price fairly high - would recommend waiting for a slight decrease. Better/cheaper names to invest in. Overall, a good company. Wait before buying. 

BUY

Would recommend buying here. Bad news is out of the way. Probably will increase going forward. Excellent brand name in Canada. New management team should be able to increase trust in the company. Falling interest rates and relaxed capital requirement rules will provide tailwinds for company. 

DON'T BUY

Strong company that has been under owned lately. Recent quarterly earnings not as good as expected. Working capital and supply chain issues also concerning. Riskier name given lately results. Would not buy at this time. 

BUY

Recent spin out from TC Energy. High quality name with excellent cash flow. Won't have a lot of growth, but dividend very safe and reliable. Good for bond proxy investors. 

BUY

Excellent growth rate. Prospects look strong for the company. Would be top US bank to pick at this time. Very strong balance sheet with good lending capabilities. Share price expected to continue to rise. Recent quarter results excellent - continue to beat expectations. Dividend very good and reliable. 

HOLD

Not expecting major growth going forward. However, share price cheap right now. Very strong asset base across Canada. Good for income oriented investors. Would not be surprised if asset sales happen at company. Would recommend holding. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has been a top pick in the past. Very strong growth potential in business. Lots of opportunity for store growth in Canada. Not as cheap as it was before, but strong company. Would wait for share price to fall before buying. 

HOLD

Excellent company that continues to dominate. Would recommend holding - no reason to sell. Share price not cheap, but company has earned high valuation. Would wait before investing - but if investing - would recommend holding for the long term. 

HOLD

Believes company has room for price appreciation. Weak natural gas prices have put pressure on share price. Hedged into 2026/27. Believes dividend is safe. Balance sheet is strong. Would recommend holding. If natural gas prices rise - share price will head upwards. Good management team.

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

EPS of 5c beat estimates of 4.3c; revenue of $66M beat estimates of $61M. New originations were $625.7M vs $571M last year. Guidance was afffirmed for 2024 but boosted for 2025 (19c to 25c vs 18c estimated). The company has streamlined its cost structure and is benefitting somewhat from lower rates. It was a good quarter. Still, we would rate it a HOLD for now after the move.
