Michael Sprung - BNN - TOP PICK Wajax (WJX TSX)
Wajax has a 161-year history of providing equipment, parts and services to the construction, mining, industrial and commercial sectors. Revenues stem from equipment sales, product support, rentals and engineered repair services (ERS). Over the last seven years, earnings have grown at a 21 per cent annual rate. Wajax has an exclusive relationship with Hitachi in Canada. The recent results in the third quarter of 2024 were disappointing as industrial parts and product support missed expectations as did equipment sales and ERS. On the positive side, the backlog for equipment increased due to higher construction, forestry and mining orders. The stock has pulled back and presents an opportunity with a yield of 6.5 per cent and a compelling valuation for the long term.
