FINNING INTERNATIONAL INC. $26 (Toronto symbol FTT; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; Shares outstanding: 171.9 million; Market cap: $4.5 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 0.8; Dividend yield: 2.2%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.finning.com) has won a contract to supply U.K.-based Hargreaves Services plc with heavy equipment made by Caterpillar, including four hydraulic excavators and 19 trucks. Finning will start delivering this equipment later this year.

The deal is worth $96 million, which is just 2% of its annual revenue of $5.9 billion. However, this was Finning’s first sale from its new distribution and support businesses in western Canada, South America and the U.K. Finning bought these operations from Bucyrus International for $465 million U.S. in May 2012.

Finning is a buy.
