Review of K-Bro Linen

DEC 10, 2024 - KBL provides laundry and linen services for healthcare institutions, hotels, and other commercial organizations in Canada and the United Kingdom. The stock has seen some volatility in 2024, but ultimately is up nicely and continues to pay a solid yield. Previous issues that had harboured the stock over the pandemic have now largely subsided, and EBITDA margins have stabilized. KBL has also been acquisitive this year, making two tuck-in acquisitions that should help drive growth in future years

Q: Questions on KBL:

Can you please comment on:

- Balance sheet quality

- Management

- Current valuation relative to its history

Considering its 12-year dividend-raising drought, is there a history of companies going long periods without raising before resuming once again. Wondering if there is any hope.

A somewhat related question.......
KBL is rated B+ in your reports. Does your rating system take into account any risk profile? For instance, I believe PRL is also rated B+. So from an overall risk standpoint, would you see these two companies at roughly a similar level of risk?
