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.
Trading at 6.4X versus 11.4, its five-year average, so it is cheap. Have just restructured, so that is complete and it can derive cost savings.

This is worth a shot for somebody who doesn’t mind taking a little bit of a risk.
