High-Growth Investments

CubeSmart

CubeSmart (CUBE) manages about 1,200 self-storage locations in the U.S., which makes it one of the top three self-storage providers in the country. At the end of 2021, CubeSmart had 44.2 million square feet of rentable space at its 651 third-party managed stores and 35.5 million square feet at its 607 stores. And its units were 93.3% occupied.

Thanks to the strong occupancy rate and performance across its portfolio, CubeSmart reported full-year 2021 earnings of $223.5 million, or $1.09 per share, which was up from $165.6 million, or $0.85 per share, in 2020. Full-year FFO grew 22.7% year-over-year to $2.11 per share, compared to $1.72 per share in 2020.

Company management stated, “We closed out a remarkable 2021 with continued execution across all of our strategic growth objectives … We are confident that 2022 will be another excellent year for our industry and our company.”

For fiscal year 2022, CubeSmart expects earnings per share between $0.98 and $1.05 and FFO per share between $2.35 and $2.42. And for the first quarter, earnings per share are forecast to be between $0.20 and $0.22, while FFO per share is expected to be between $0.56 and $0.58. CUBE is a Conservative buy below $53.

Extra Space Storage

Extra Space Storage (EXR), one of our other self-storage plays, manages more than 2,000 Extra Space Storage-branded locations in the U.S. That makes it the second-largest operator of self-storage units in the country – and its business has been booming. On Wednesday afternoon, Extra Space Storage crushed analysts’ expectations for the fourth quarter, thanks to an “exceptional” performance of high occupancy and strong pricing power.

Fourth-quarter earnings soared 72% year-over-year to $268.43 million, or $2.00 per share, up from $156.06 million, or $1.19 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts estimates called for fourth-quarter earnings of $1.40 per share, so Extra Space Storage posted a stunning 42.9% earnings surprise.

For its fiscal year, Extra Space Storage achieved earnings of $827.65 million, or $6.19 per share, which represented 71.8% annual earnings growth. Analysts were only expecting full-year earnings of $5.27 per share.

I should add that as a real estate investment trust (REIT), Extra Space Storage also continues to reward its shareholders. It recently announced that it upped its quarterly dividend by 50% year-over-year. The new first-quarter dividend of $1.50 per share will be paid on March 31 to all shareholders of record on March 15. The stock has a 2.7% dividend yield. EXR is a Conservative buy below $208.

Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company (F), one of the big three auto manufacturers in the U.S., is starting to make a name for itself in electric vehicle (EV) circles. In 2021, Ford became the number-two seller of EVs in the U.S., and the company is committed to boosting EV production to 600,000 vehicles by 2023. EVs are expected to account for at least 40% of all vehicle production by 2030.

Ford noted that it already has more than 275,000 reservations for its line of EVs, which includes the Mustang Mach-E SUVs, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck and E-Transit commercial vehicles.

In addition to its EVs, Ford’s new Bronco and Maverick pickup truck, which were named the North American SUV and truck of the year in 2021, respectively, experienced strong demand in the fourth quarter. As a result, Ford slipped into the number-one spot as the top-selling auto manufacturer in the U.S. last year.

Overall, Ford achieved 8.9% annual revenue growth and 341.7% annual earnings growth in its fiscal year 2021. With 2022 marking the first full year of production for the Bronco and Maverick, as well as continuing demand for the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, Ford expects 2022 to be another successful year for the company. F is a Conservative buy below $20.

TFI International, Inc.

TFI International, Inc. (TFII) is primarily a transportation and logistics services company that’s based in Canada but has a network that covers more than 80 North American cities. The company has more than 560 facilities, more than 80 operating companies and more than 14,800 drivers – all dedicated to providing the logistics and transport services necessary to keep freight moving across North America.

We added TFII to the High-Growth Investments Buy List back in November, as the company’s business has been booming amidst the port bottlenecks and supply chain disruptions. In fact, TFII achieved 58.5% annual earnings growth and 91% annual revenue growth in fiscal year 2021.

In the wake of these stunning results, the analyst community has increased earnings estimates for the first two quarters of 2022, as well as for full-year 2022. For fiscal year 2022, the company is now expected to report 19.9% annual earnings growth and 15% annual revenue growth. TFII is a Conservative buy below $115.
