BUY

He likes it and has recommended it before. They've stumbled the last few years with investments that stopped paying distributions, but they've worked out five of them recently. AD is back onto a trend. Can they continued to deploy capital at 13-15% rate of return and expand dividends? Yes, he believe they can do both cases, and do it well. He expects this to trade at higher stock prices in years to come. A well-run company. The CRA issue, he thinks, will work out in their favour. They need to find bigger companies to invest in, and those choices may be fewer. Meanwhile, they've increased their pipeline in people who sources prospective deals for them. (They are well-connected in the accounting community.)

SELL

It's held in here, but a dividend this high likely get reduced. Over time, this has acted poorly. Heavy volume at $20.

HOLD

Their payout ratio is 65%, which he thinks is sustainable. Sales were down 3% and forward earnings are expected up 4% in 2019. They are producing free cash flow. Yield 8.63% (Analysts’ price target is $21.07)

HOLD

It had been expanding its portfolio, but then it had some problems with some of their partner companies. They struggled to get out of those assets and the stock price suffered. Management has done a decent job and is now switching back to deploy capital. He has just recently added it back. The dividend is safer today. (Analysts’ price target is $21.00)

COMMENT

DIV-T vs AD-T He owns Diversified. He likes their management team and it pays a good dividend. He waits to hear how management will deploy their capital going forward, but likes how management has been prudent with it. The yield is enticing. Alaris has stumbled as of late. He prefers DIV-T.

DON'T BUY

They buy operating businesses. They have a large portfolio. He would prefer to have a closer look at their companies and because there are so many he shies away from it.

DON'T BUY

The dividend payout ratio is about 65% -- fairly secure. Earnings are expected to grow by 4% -- a 10.5 PE. It should do okay, but is not on his buy list. He has some concern when the yield gets this high. Yield 9%. (Analysts’ price target is $23.50)

BUY

He likes this one. Has had problems over the last few years with partner investments, but people are looking too much at the past and not at the future. Key is how efficiently can they deploy capital. Generous dividend was just increased, and management wouldn't have done this if there was the possibility of a cut. Positive resets on preferreds will produce more cash. (Analysts’ price target is $21.07)

COMMENT

They had a pullback earlier in the year and have come back. This is where you should buy into the company. They do well this time of the year. From a fundamental perspective if we are having a slowing economy then it may pull back.

SHORT

Given the 10 years of low interest rates, why would companies go to Alaris for financing. He has a small short position. He does not dislike the company or management, but he questions the business model.

HOLD

He used to own it. They had invented a non-resource royalty business. They lost some market respect when they made a couple of bad investments. At this yield it may be worth looking into. The model is to pay out the full cash flow, so the payout ratio is 100% by design. Yield 9.1%.

WEAK BUY

8% yield and valuation-wise they are cheap. They are in a kind of a turnaround situation now. They are now investing more in their own properties as opposed to making investments in outside companies. There is some credibility issue with Management at the moment. Higher risk name for an income name. He thinks that the troubles are behind them. (Analysts’ price target is $21.07)

WEAK BUY

They ran into portfolio problems a couple of years ago and people were worried about write downs and yield cuts. Good dividend. They did a good job since. This is not a one quarter fix. He would be a cautious buyer. Problems are slowly getting resolved.

BUY

It was a Top pick July 27th. He liked it after it bounced off its bottom. It pulled back a little bit. It is a high dividend payer at 8.5%. It still looks pretty good. $18.50 is the support line. The downtrend is reversing. He would be a buyer again here.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick Sept. 13, 2017, Up 4%) He's expecting a lot more from this company. It's been in the woodshed for a while, falling to around $15 from the high-$20's. Investors are regaining their confidence in ALA who had trouble with some companies they invested in. They have since resolved that and cut loose those troubled companies. So, how will they now deploy their capital? Lately, AD they have been some good deployments. AD is on its way to recovery and he sees significant capital appreciation coming.
