Here is what Choice Equities specifically said about SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (NYSE:SITE):

“In some ways, quite a lot has changed since our first purchases of SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (NYSE:SITE) some six years ago. Yet in others, particularly regarding the company’s competitive positioning, very little has. It was this durability in the company’s competitive position that was core to our original investment thesis at the time. Today, after years of growth through acquisitions, the company continues to enjoy a near monopoly-like position in the specialized distribution vertical of lawn care and maintenance supplies, with our latest checks suggesting the company is now 5x the size of its closest peer. Equally promisingly, the industry continues to remain quite fragmented with small independent players.

The stock is off nearly 60% from recent highs. The share price decline suggests a meaningfully impaired growth trajectory. Yet, even assuming a 25% haircut to this year’s likely EBITDA, shares still trade at the company’s cheapest valuation on offer since coming public in 2015. The long horizon market growth and consolidation opportunity remain, only now the company stands to benefit from having the best balance sheet it has had at any point since being public. We are delighted to be able to repurchase this business at attractive prices.”
