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.
Likes this. Has come off quite a bit, which is largely a reflection of the slowdown we have seen in mining and, to some extent, in the need for equipment in oil/gas industry as well. Extremely well run company. Still tends to pay out a fairly healthy dividend (6.6%). Thinks there will be a turnaround in the mining sector in the next business cycle and this would not be a bad entry point. For the shorter-term, this may be stalled out.
