Toromont Industries Ltd

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Growth Industrial. The stock price is reasonable. It has held up well in this latest bear market. See my spreadsheet on Toromont Industries Ltd.

I own this stock of Toromont Industries Ltd (TSX-TIH, OTC-TMTNF). This is a dividend growth industrial stock. TD bank see Toromont as a relatively low-risk, high-quality industrial stock. This is one of the stocks I bought after selling Loblaws in 2008. This was a stock on Mike Higgs' Canadian Dividend Growth Stock list. I bought more in 2008 after selling Onex and AGF Management.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that this stock was down just 15% year to date. I have well with this stock. To the end of February, my total return is 12.42% with 10.60% from capital gains and 1.82% from dividends. I first bought this stock in 2007, and on my original purchase, I am making a yield of 6.17%. This is after just over 12 years.

The dividend yields are low with dividend growth moderate. The current yield is still low (under2%) at 1.79%. The 5, 10 and historical median yields are low (under 2%) to moderate (2% to 4% ranges). These yields are 1.68%, 2.08% and 1.84%. Dividend growth is moderate (8% to 14% ranges). See chart below.

The Dividend Payout Ratios are fine. The DPR for EPS for 2019 is 30% with 5 year coverage at 32%. The DPR for CFPS for 2019 is 19% with 5 year coverage at 20%. The DPR for Free Cash Flow for 2019 is 95% with 5 year coverage at 34%. The Dividend Coverage Ratio for 2019 is 1.05 with the 5 year ratio at 2.92. The FCF is unusually low in 2019. Also, WSJ and Morningstar do not agree on what the FCF is.

Debt Ratios are fine. The Long Term Debt/Market Cap for 2019 is 0.11 which is low and good. Even the current one is still good at 0.13. The Liquidity Ratio for 2019 is 1.83 with 5 year median at 2.16. The Debt Ratio for 2019 is 1.83 with 5 year median at 2.08. Both these later ratios are good as they are over 1.50. The Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios are fine at 2.20 and 1.20 respectively.

The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 29 to the end of 2019. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See chart below.

Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is probably reasonable. The testing is show that the stock price is reasonable and above or below the median. Also, most of these test shows the stock price very close to the median. This bear market has not made this stock cheap by any means.

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? I do like this company and I will continue to own shares. This bear market has not made this stock cheap. It was relatively cheap between 2008 and 2014 using the dividend yield measure but it has not been cheap recently. The stock price seems close to the median. This is a low dividend but good growth dividend growth stock.

When I look at analysts’ recommendations, I find Buy (1), Outperform (4) and Hold (2). The consensus is a Buy. The 12 month stock price is $73.57. This implies a total return of $23.80% with 22.01% from capital gains and 1.79% from dividends.

See what analysts are saying on Stock Chase. They like this company and one suggests to hold for the long term. Adam Othman on Motley Fool likes this stock for its stability and capital gains.
