Wajax (WJX) ran 7% on the back of its Q4 results, which beat small on revenue and bigger on EPS - thanks to improving margins (lower SG&A).

Leverage reduction was the real story, dropping to the low end of management’s 1.5-2.0x target range thanks to a ~$60M inventory release…

… which frees management up to position for equipment selling season and potential M&A, with the new CEO bringing transaction experience. If WJX can execute, there’s room for multiple expansion…

… with shares trading in-line with the long-term average, but substantially below peers like Finning (FTT) and Toromont (TIH).
