BOMBARDIER INC. - Toronto symbols BBD.A $4.06 and BBD.B $4.06

BOMBARDIER INC. (Toronto symbols BBD.A $4.06 and BBD.B $4.06; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; Shares outstanding: 1.7 billion; Market cap: $6.9 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 0.4; Dividend yield: 2.5%; TSINetwork Rating: Average; www.bombardier.com) has received a firm order for 32 of its new CSeries passenger jets from Russian aircraft leasing firm Ilyushin Finance Co.

If Ilyushin exercises its option to buy an additional 10 planes, the entire order would be worth $3.4 billion U.S. That’s equal to 20% of Bombardier’s 2012 revenue of $16.8 billion U.S. The company did not say when it would begin deliveries, as it is still developing the CSeries plane. It plans to begin test flights in June 2013.

The subordinate-voting class B shares are the better choice because of their slightly better liquidity and higher dividend yield.

Bombardier B is a buy.
