Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Average target is now $5.04. Post-earnings, Scotiabank lowered its rating from $5 to $4. At less than 9X earnings it certainly can still be called cheap. Q3 results showed EPS of 12c, beating estimates of 9.5c. Revenue of $630.7M slightly missed estimates of $639.7M. EBITDA missed estimates by 14%. Guidance was mostly inline with estimates. Q3 sales fell 8.9% and we certainly would prefer to see this trend reverse. The CC did not add a whole lot. The CEO/Board transition is ahead of plan. CTS continues to return capital to shareholders (buybacks and dividends). CTS is not seeing attractive acquisitions and prefers to buyback its stock over making a mis-priced deal. With rising cash flow conversion the balance sheet is in much better shape, with net debt less than six months of cash flow now. This 'should' help the valuation multiple over time.
