They cut their dividend, but he sees this as pretty safe with a 60% payout ratio. He models 45% EPS growth. Their balance sheet has gotten much better. The cycle is just starting to come on with equipment makers, and is trading at about a 6-point discount to Finning. Trades at about 13.8X with Finning at around 19X.
Company is a little more cautious on 2nd half guidance and some softening power systems sales. However, order quoting activity is still pretty robust. Pretty expensive valuation trading at 7.5X to EBITDA versus Finning (FTT-T) at 6.2. Payout ratios are fine for 2012-2013. You are really buying this for yield and if there is “risk on” in the market this name could go higher.
