| PARTIAL SELL | 10.850 | James Hodgins | AutoCanada (ACQ-T) or Automodular (AM-T)? These are 2 completely different types of companies. This one owns dealerships. Has been a fantastic performer. Also offers a nice dividend with a 5.1% yield. Sales are having a nice rebound but given his outlook on the economy, he would probably trim both of them. | 2012-04-09 | |
| WATCH | 1.830 | Michael Simpson, CFA | Have 22 or 23 auto dealerships with only 11 or 12 being Chrysler's. Primarily Canadian Western focused. Good margins on the auto repair side and financing. Concerns on Chrysler's cutting of dealerships. Dirt cheap if you would like more clarity. 50% yield. | 2009-01-16 | |
| HOLD | 4.250 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | (Market Call Minute.) Based on the chart, he would probably hang on to it. Currently shows a little bit of support. If you see any issues with the distribution levels changing, get out. | 2008-08-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 8.700 | Ben Cheng | (A Top Pick Mar 2/07. Down 8.9% including distributions.) Been a tough market for auto retailers. This is about the only way you can own an auto retailer. Reported sales up 12% to 15% in each of the last 3 quarters. 70% of their dealerships are in Western Canada, particularly in Alberta and B.C. Distribution is safe. | 2008-01-21 | |
| SELL | 10.220 | Chris Rankin, MBA, CFA | Demand in Alberta is going to soften and they are going to have a hard time with the exchange rates. | 2007-10-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 10.800 | Ben Cheng | (A Top Pick March 2/07. No change.) Only publicly traded auto dealership in Canada. Grown to 19 dealerships. Auto sales in Canada look much healthier than in the US. 9.3% yield. Very cheap at less than 6X cash flow for 2008. | 2007-09-05 | |
| BUY | 11.850 | Chris Rankin, MBA, CFA | AutoCanada is priced in line with other automotive retailers. They've got Dennis DeRosia on their board which is a huge win for them. (He's mister auto). For the next year it looks pretty good. | 2007-06-08 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 10.950 | Ben Cheng | (A Top Pick Dec 1/06. Up 23.2%.) The only publicly run car dealership in Canada. Still growing. 9.3% yield should grow. Still a Buy. | 2007-05-29 | |
| TOP PICK | 10.600 | Ben Cheng | (A Top Pick Dec 1/06. Up 19.4%.) New-car sales are less than 50% of their overall profit line. Generates a lot of cash out of warranties, repairs and maintenance. Growing at about 15% per year. Very cheap valuation. | 2007-03-02 | |
| TOP PICK | 8.850 | Ben Cheng | Management owns 20%. Consolidating in western and eastern Canada. 17 dealerships and will have 23 in 2007, 28 in 2008. Cash flow and distributions will grow significantly in the next 3 years. Good value. | 2006-12-01 |
