Stifel analyst Daryl Young initiated coverage of Boyd Group Services with a Buy rating and C$295 price target. The firm is initiating coverage of a collection of special situations companies, noting that the group of companies operate in separate and distinct industries, but are loosely related given a shared focus on “growth-by-acquisition” strategies. Public investors have taken an increasingly cautious view towards capital-heavy consolidators and are no longer rewarding “growth-for-growths’ sake” given the recent record rise in interest rates and significantly tighter credit environment, the analyst tells investors. However, the valuations for many of the leveraged consolidators the analyst covers have contracted far faster than their fundamentals and are “now mostly discounting a higher-for-longer interest rate scenario,” the analyst added.
