Best Canadian Stocks: Change in Canadian drinking habits good for this stock

Stock Investing

Every Tuesday we bring you “Best Canadian Stocks.” You get our specific recommendations on the stocks we profile, with a full explanation of how we arrived at our opinion. You’ll read about stocks making moves you should know about, from coverage  in one of our three newsletters featuring Canadian stocks—The Successful Investor, Stock Pickers Digest and Canadian Wealth Advisor.

ANDREW PELLER LTD. (Toronto symbol ADW.A; www.andrewpeller.com) is Canada’s second-largest producer of wines, after Vincor International. Its wineries in Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia account for 13.4% of the Canadian wine market.

In the second quarter of its 2015 fiscal year, which ended September 30, 2014, Peller’s sales rose 7.2%, to $82.8 million from $77.2 million a year earlier. That’s mainly because the company started selling its Wayne Gretzky wines in Western Canada. The company also launched several new products, including its skinnygrape spritzers and Panama Jack cocktails.

Earnings jumped 45.5%, to $5.1 million, or $0.37 a share, from $3.5 million, or $0.25.

Stocks to buy: Lower operating costs soften the impact of the lower Canadian dollar

Without unusual items, such as losses on hedging contracts Peller uses to lock in foreign exchange rates and costs related to the restructuring of its home-winemaking division, earnings gained 5.2%.

The lower operating costs resulting from the restructuring should help Peller offset the negative impact of the lower Canadian dollar, which increases the cost of wines it imports from the U.S. and Europe.

Meanwhile, the company should continue to benefit from rising demand for higher-priced premium wines.

As a result, Peller’s earnings will probably rise 18.8% in fiscal 2015, to $1.20 a share, and the stock trades at just 12.5 times that forecast. The $0.42 dividend yields 2.8%.

Andrew Peller is a buy recommendation of The Successful Investor.
