TSE:PKI
A big footprint in western Canada and it is a fairly non-cyclical business. The price of oil does not affect them the way you think. When oil prices drop sharply, there is a huge spike in their margins. It is a consolidator. They will be able to do these tuck-in acquisitions. He prefers ATD.B-T but likes this one too.
(A Top Pick Mar 06/19, Up 27%) Management is doing everything they should. They just bought assets in the massive California market as well as in the Caribbean. They leveraged some refining capacity to send fuel to some locations. They buy wholesale that they refine, then sell it at retail--that's the spread they make. Happy to hold this. It's a mini-Couche Tard (ATD'B), but PKI more nimble in making acquisitions and own a refinery.
He owns ATD-B instead, but PKI is a great, profitable company. The dividend will grow and the company is a great buyer of assets and opportunities may lie ahead in the wake of today's Marathon deal.
