Review of The North West Company Inc.
APR 25, 2024 - NWC is a stable consumer staples name that serves in niche markets of remote areas with small populations, which keeps the competition less intense for NWC, allowing them to earn decent returns on capital over time. NWC’s same-store-sales growth has been stable and resilient over the years. We think the investing thesis of NWC as a disciplined capital allocator and consistent dividend grower remains intact. We are maintaining our rating at “B.”

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor.
I've held NWC since 2019 and have done quite well, averaging roughly 15%/yr. I have trimmed and added over the years. Late last year I trimmed at just under $50. It has since ran to $55 and corrected roughly 20% to $45...now at $47. I see it's P/E range over 5 years has been 7-35-ish, now at 17. I was thinking of topping up again. To me a good price would be $45 and a great price would be $40, even though I'd happily buy where it is now.
From a Trump tariff point of view, my research shows mostly northern Canada, plus USA, then Caribbean as it's markets....any concern here?
Your thoughts on the current valuation, my entry top-up ideas and the Trump tariff would be appreciated....thanks....Steve

Q: Amazon's decision to close operations in Quebec and lay off workers disappoints me. I wish to sell it and find some alternatives. I already own Costco. Coincidentally Astrazeneca announced Canadian expansion plans. What do you think of their stock?

Q: I'm looking for suggestions for stocks or ETFs that would benefit from increased investment in the north (either infrastructure-, defense- or resource-related). Do you have any suggestions of opportunities that warrant further investigation for a 'northern/artic play'? I can't help but feel that all the talk south of the border about Greenland, Canadian resources, etc. that someone will be spending substantially more in the north over the next 4 years...
