Globe says Dollarama, others poised for growth

The Globe and Mail attempts to identify large-cap Canadian companies that have growing earnings and are reinvesting these earnings for future growth in its Thursday, Feb. 12, edition. The Globe's Ian Tam writes in the Number Cruncher column that the reinvestment rate is defined as the earnings per share of a company, less dividends, divided by the adjusted book value of a company's equity. Mr. Tam says the reinvestment rate is a common measure of growth. Investors can look at both trailing reinvestment rates as well as expected reinvestment rates (based on consensus estimates for EPS, and the expected dividends). For this item, Mr. Tam looked for large-cap Canadian companies with both an improving trailing reinvestment rate and expected reinvestment rate. Mr. Tam's picks had to have positive five-year normalized earnings growth (which measures the annual compound growth of EPS averaged over the past five years), as well as positive three-month earnings estimate revisions. Stocks were screened to remove names with market capitalization of less than $900-million. Large caps poised for growth are Dollarama, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Air Canada, West Fraser Timber and Quebecor.
