TOP PICK
AutoCanada Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

ACQ, who holds 65 auto locations and has over 15,000 vehicles in inventory, is reiterated as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed a 30% increase in EPS.  Cash reserves are being prudently used to aggressively retire debt.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 21% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $21, looking to achieve $31 -- upside potential of 24%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
AutoCanada Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

With a network of 65 auto dealerships in North America, we reiterate ACQ as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 7x earnings, supports a 17% ROE and is right at book value.  Cash reserves are growing, while the company aggressively retires debt and buys back shares.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $15) to $17, looking to achieve $26 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
AutoCanada Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate ACQ as a TOP PICK.  Strong consumer demand and constraints on light vehicle supply have combined to create record industry profitability in the auto dealership sector.  Higher interest rates have taken away some of the momentum, but the company recently reported higher cash reserves, while they aggressively retired debt and bought back shares.  It trades under book value and 7x earnings.  We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $15, looking to achieve $26 -- upside potential of 31%.  Yield 0%

(A Top Pick Sep 22/21, Down 44%) Underlying trends are still solid. Trades at 6x. The war in Ukraine, further supply problems, Fed really hiking. Super cheap. Company's buying back shares. You can add on dips, be patient for a 3-5 year horizon. No dividend.

TOP PICK
AutoCanada Inc.
New vehicle growth is still 15% below 2019 levels, so there's still growth. He bought it at $43, and then it had a huge move yesterday. Still lots of upside. Solid balance sheet to fund acquisitions. 500 million new transactions in the pipeline. Digital strategy. Undemanding multiple of 8x. Still underowned. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $64.13)

BUY
AutoCanada Inc.
It's a volatile name, so don't be expected by recent volatility. Supplying dealerships is a problem in the near future, given the global--but temporary--chip shortage. ACQ has good price momentum and a high ROI. PE is 11x. They had a strong recent beat. However, their balance sheet is a little stretched.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Up 100% this year. A leveraged recovery play. EPS should more than double this year. Debt and execution is the main risk for the company. Balance sheet is heavily levered but its inventory has value. 20x earnings but it has beat estimates by 51%. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
AutoCanada Inc.
ROE is 15%. Earnings should rise and there should be 26% growth in 2022. Assuming the reopening happens, this is a buy. Meanwhile, the price of used cars is holding up extremely well.

COMMENT
AutoCanada Inc.
Evaluates on reasonable valuation, good price trend and prefer lower volatility. For ACQ, it has good price momentum and good value characteristics. 7.5x cashflow. Debt is a bit heavy. With less debt, he would look closer at it.
