Review of Gildan Activewear Inc.

NOV 07, 2024 - GIL has been a consistent, longstanding Canadian clothing provider. The company’s vertically integrated supply chain has been a key value creator which has allowed GIL to carve out an international position in the ever-competitive clothing industry. We think GIL looks attractive despite the valuation expanding to higher historical levels. We are maintaining our B rating out of prudence to the leadership changes but will consider a re-rating if performance continues to be strong.

Q: What are your thoughts about the potential purchase of Hanesbrands from a balance sheet perspective and also from a transformational perspective? Decent decline today...based on your response would you consider the decline an opportune time to invest?

Q: Gildan's debt is a little high but other metrics look good. Wondering if you think they can profit from "buy Canadian" momentum.

Have owned AXON, sold at nice profit. Thinking of re-entering. Would you enter now or wait?

Thanks for your wise counsel,

Mike

Q: I'm considering shareholder yield as a factor for investing. Can I have your opinion of such a strategy and is there a favourable/preferred % when looking at companies? Finally, would you have 5 US and 5 TSX companies that you would choose when considering this approach? Dock me as many questions as you like and thanks!
