Review of The North West Company

MAY 06, 2025 - NWC is a low-risk, high-quality consumer staples name that has demonstrated a track record of consistent operational efficiency and disciplined capital allocation over the years. The company’s business model targets niche markets of remote, rural areas with small populations, which keep the competition less intense for NWC relative to other retailers, allowing them to earn decent returns on capital. NWC’s same-store sales growth has been stable over the years, which even accelerated slightly in the most recent fiscal year. The company has a prudent “incrementalism” approach in its store expansion strategy, as the company gradually expand the store count while optimizing profitability and same-store-sales growth.

Q: I am looking at fixed income potential across sectors as a low risk offset to my equities and would appreciate your recommendations. It doesn’t look like the space has good future prospects overall with rates having just dropped.
Of notable options, high interest saving accounts, bond funds, utilities, dividend index’s and perhaps reits, the reits and dividend indexes have superior yields.
Could you please comment on the space overall, which sectors are advisable and possible suggestions for purchase please?

Q: I have a $50K bond maturing next week in a non-registered account and plan to re-deploy the cash amongst the six equity holdings already in that account for long term hold. Are there any amongst the group that I should hold-off on, or are there any that I should over-weight?
