Stephen Takacsy, B. Eng, MBABadger DaylightingBDGI.TOTOP PICKJun 29, 2016

By far the biggest North American players in hydro-vaccuing with over 1000 trucks that excavate without breaking pipes and wires. Stock was hit because of their exposure to the oil/gas industry, especially in Western Canada. However, two thirds of sales are now coming out of the US. They are growing their utility infrastructure business. Thinks there will be a big turnaround in 2017. They make great profit margins and great free cash flow. Very well-managed. Not expensive, trading at under 8X next year’s EBITDA. Dividend yield of 1.76%.

More a derivative of infrastructure, as it services construction assets. Likes management. Still upside over the next 1-2 years. If you want steadier cashflows and less lumpiness, look elsewhere.

He owned it for 5 minutes last spring. They had a great business plan, making money and were well-financed. But this year blew that out of the water. Things changed so fast because of Covid. This shot up so quickly that he sold it. Russel Metals has better value now.

They have been getting away from oil and gas work and more toward infrastructure. They have hydro-vac trucks to excavate so crews can get in and work on gas lines and so on. He got stopped out in March. He would have no trouble buying them back. They are quite well run.

(A Top Pick Aug 01/19, Down 40%) BAD is associated with shale oil, which of course hasn't done well. But BAD has a mobile fleet that can perform other work. There are better stocks elsewhere, including gold.

They are not dependent on the oil patch. It has been penalized because they reduced guidance for the year based on some weather related problems. They doubled their US business in the last 2 to 3 years. 70% of their business is now in the US. It is a very well managed company. (Analysts’ price target is $43.25)
