MCCOY CORP. $4.29 (Toronto symbol MCB; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (780-453-8451; www.mccoyglobal.com; Shares outstanding: 26.6 million; Market cap: $114.1 million; Dividend yield: 4.7%) operates through two divisions: Mobile Solutions and Energy Products and Services.

Energy Products and Services sells hydraulic equipment for drilling rigs. This equipment includes power tongs, which are large, wrench-like tools that tighten and loosen the pipe in the drill hole.

Mobile Solutions builds heavy-duty trailers for U.S. and Canadian clients in the oil and gas, wind energy, infrastructure and construction industries.

In the three months ended December 31, 2012, McCoy’s revenue was unchanged at $44.3 million. Increased sales at the Energy Products and Services division offset declines in Mobile Services.

Earnings fell 11.0%, to $3.3 million, or $0.12 a share, from $3.7 million, or $0.14 a share. Strong profits at Energy Products and Services offset lower earnings at Mobile Solutions.

McCoy is cutting costs at the Mobile Solutions division in response to its sales decline. The company laid off 25% of this business’s workforce in October 2012, and a further 15% earlier this year.

Meanwhile, McCoy’s balance sheet is sound, with cash of $22.1 million, or $0.83 a share, and long-term debt of $8.8 million, or a low 7.7% of its market cap.

In December 2011, the company tripled its quarterly dividend, to $0.03 a share from $0.01. It raised it a further 66.7% in May 2012, to $0.05. The stock now yields 4.7%. McCoy trades at 7.8 times its forecast 2013 earnings of $0.55 a share.

McCoy is a buy for aggressive investors.
