Short vs. long really matters to a company like this. Economic and e-commerce slowdowns really affect it. Not filling planes, so revenue is hurt. Excellent time to add a high quality company. Monopoly in Canada. Adding new routes. Planes are expensive. Short-term bumpy, long term you'll be just fine.
They effectively have a natural monopoly in overnight cargo in Canada. Any time you get something shipped, but doesn’t come from the same city you are in, he can almost guarantee it is shipped by this company. He likes the high barriers to entry. They have a 95% market share in Canada with customers such as Canada Post, Purolator, Amazon, and virtually anyone that ships, including Air Canada. A great little company that is not very well known by the street. Trades at about 6X EV to EBITDA, compared to the trucking companies at 7.5X. Dividend yield of 1.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $56.)
