The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Feb. 24, edition that Citi analyst Ariel Rosa has reaffirmed his "buy" recommendation for TFI International. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Rosa boosted his share target from $131 to a Street-high of $143 (all figures U.S.) Analysts on average target the shares at $124.97. Mr. Rosa says in a note: "We hosted [chief financial officer] David Saperstein for a fireside chat at our annual industrials conference last Thursday, where he noted conservatism in the guide as Q1 profits are over-indexed to March and it lost $5-million to $6-million in revenue on Jan./Feb. weather with higher overtime labour costs. He sees earnings upside ahead given portfolio additions since the prior peak and a lower share count on stepped-up buybacks. The Q4 beat was on technology advancements, including the implementation of Optym software that helped reduce costs by improving billing accuracy, driving fewer missed pickups, and enhancing efficiencies in on-time pickup and delivery." The Globe reported on Aug. 6 and Jan. 9 that Mr. Rosa rated TFI "buy." In the first item Mr. Rosa said TFI was "too cheap to ignore." The shares were then worth $89.46 and $154.48.
