Stella-Jones Inc.

Not a monopoly, but biggest market player in railway ties and utility poles. Behemoth. Earnings beat today, solid results, net income up nicely, increased dividend by 22%. Shares dropped during today's conference call, due to commentary on "customer budget constraints". Still, US and Canada infrastructure spending to come.

Important business now, and will be going forward. Attractive multiple, very high returns, balance sheet quite strong. Likes it.

Very simple business, has done well, the only game in town. Stock's done so well, it's too expensive. He'd need to wait for a pullback.

WAIT
Stella-Jones Inc.

It was a top pick pick a while ago and he sold a bit too early. It is well positioned for an increase in infrastructure demand since its products are needed for enhancing the grid. It is a long term buy but you could wait for a pullback.

Is tied to infrastructure which is a great tailwind. They make utility poles which need replacing in fires, so they benefit from climate change. The PE remains reasoanable.

It is a great chart and recent moves have been parabolic. It is well over its 200 day moving average so is overbought. You could buy again on a pullback or buy more. There are free sites which can give you the 200 moving day averages.

It is in a slow moving business, utility poles and railway ties, but has had a big run-up lately. A good time to take profits.

Stella-Jones Inc.

They can gain a lot because the rails and ports need upgrades and reconstruction. He regrets selling this at $50 and now trades above $60. Now, shares a little expensive. A great company.

SJ reported revenues of $710 mln and EPS of $1.03. This beat estimates of $706.7 mln and $0.78 respectively. The company is expecting utility poles to grow by 20% annually into 2024. Utility pole revenue was up 29% this year quarter largely driven by pricing. Overall this looks like a solid quarter at first glance.

A leading producer of railway ties and utility poles. New utility poles will be needed (double digit growth), including the fire-resistant ones that they developed a few years ago. It has a great balance sheet, lots of cash and is raising the dividend. A defensive growth stock trading at 12 X earnings.

PAST TOP PICK
Stella-Jones Inc.
(A Top Pick Nov 01/21, Down 8%) An infrastructure play. He thought SJ was well-positioned for this, but such stocks are very sensitive to cyclical downshifts. He is holding on, because he still believes there will be government infrastructure spending.
