Experts who have talked about Altus Group

SELL6.160Jason DonvilleGot super bombed out with tax loss selling at the end of the year. This one got ridiculously oversold. This company is in disarray. There are senior people coming and going. You don't really know what you've got a year or 2 down the road.2012-03-05
PAST TOP PICK3.570Jason Donville(A Top Pick Oct 4/10. Down 72%.) Got out of this one reasonably well at $11.85. A bad pick.2011-10-17
DON'T BUY6.600Jason DonvilleThinks there is a lot of disarray in the company right now. Cut their dividends earlier in the year.2011-07-11
DON'T BUY7.900Michael Simpson, CFAReal estate advisory and have a small survey business in western Canada. Q1 was disappointing. Would be concerned unless they could deliver stronger fundamental results.2011-06-17
SELL ON STRENGTH9.920Jason Donville(A Top Pick Mar 23/10.) Got this one wrong. Not convinced with management. A lot of people leaving the company. Has no faith that they will be able to execute their strategy going forward. Recently cut dividends.2011-05-25
PAST TOP PICK8.520Jason Donville(Top Pick Mar 23/10, Down 29.34%) Doesn’t own companies with two pad quarters in a row. Problem was execution by management. They cut their dividend severely a few weeks ago.2011-04-26
HOLD13.000Jason DonvilleMissed on its 3rd quarter so the stock sold off. Had bottomed 2 or 3 quarters ago and felt earnings should be in ascendancy right now. Not going lower but also not rising materially either. Still a “show me “ story. Sold some of his holdings.2010-12-06
BUY12.700Michael Simpson, CFAReal estate advisory with tax appraisals, surveys (in western Canada) .Had a weak Q3. Have some hidden assets that they may spin off. Well managed. Good Buy for a 3 to 5 year time horizon.2010-12-02
TOP PICK14.880Jason DonvilleProvide broad basket of real estate services globally. About 8% yield. Expecting strong guidance going into 2011.2010-10-04
TOP PICK13.320Jason DonvilleProfessional services in real estate area, which is at a cyclical low. 9% dividend.2010-03-23
WATCH7.400Ben ChengVery good management team. Big swing factor for them is the decreased activity in real estate, particularly commercial. Starting to see signs that commercial real estate developers are trying to spend more money. Expect they will do quite well in the longer run on the rebound. Doesn't think yield of 16% will be cut but there is the potential. Quarterly results are due August 11 so see what they say about coming quarters.2009-07-13
BUY7.750Sandy McIntyreValue and administers properties. Distribution is safe into 2011.2009-01-22
Comment10.720Michael Simpson, CFAReal estate consulting including tax work and appraisals. Key driver going forward will be as countries, including Canada, adopt the international financial accounting standards. Real estate will have to have annual appraisals and this is one of the big appraisers. Has grown rapidly through acquisitions. Prices getting to a level where it is more attractive.2008-11-20
BUY18.250Dennis Mitchell, CFA(Market Call Minute.) This is a Buy, but sentiment might work against you in that this is a service-oriented business with very little assets. Cash flow generation is strong and their ability to acquire is great. 6.6% yield is safe.2008-01-14
TOP PICK15.060Chris Rankin, MBA, CFAThe company does real estate services eg. property taxes, evaluations etc. The demand profile looks fantastic. The company just bought a large, busines property in the UK. The company will benefit when the banks are doing evaluation of assets. 2007-10-19

Comment10.360Jean-Francois TardifHad sold before Oct 31 because a large part of their business was in services in Alberta and he was worried. Extremely well managed.
