Q: Hi there, what are your thoughts on MCB here and future outlook for growth? Would you be a buyer at today's prices? Thanks
5i Research Answer:
MCB provides services and equipment to the energy sector, such as drilling equipment and replacement parts. It also makes heavy-duty trailers. It is small at a $116M market cap, and cheap at 11.5X forward earnings. It has a decent dividend yield of 2.1%, a small buyback policy, earnings growth is expected to be decent, and analyst estimates are rising. Profit margins are strong and rising, and debt levels are low. We think it looks interesting here, and we would be comfortable buying today, although it is a small name, and we would be mindful around position sizing.
