Is Sleep Country Canada a Growth Stock?


Question marks in a pile

Investors looking for a top-notch growth stock to add right now may certainly have their work cut out for them. Indeed, growth stocks have continued higher, despite valuations continuing to expand at record pace. However, some growth stocks have performed better than others.

One growth stock that may not be getting the love it deserves is Sleep Country Canada (TSX:ZZZ). This company has certainly been flying this year. However, this Canadian omni-channel mattress and specialty retailer still remains well off its pre-pandemic highs.

Here’s why I think this is a growth stock that could have more room to run from here.

Major deal with Hush Blankets to boost this growth stock

Sleep Country Canada may not be well known in the investing world. However, the company has been making headlines of late.

Recently, the mattress retailer announced an agreement to acquire Hush Blankets. Hush Blankets is a popular direct-to-customer provider of pillows, sheets, weighted blankets, bed-in-a-box mattresses and more. Hush Blankets was launched in 2017 by Aaron Spivak and Lior Ohayon. 

According to the deal, Sleep Country agreed to buy a 52% stake in Hush Blankets worth $25 million. 

It has also decided to purchase the remaining 48% stake in a yearly 16% increments which would start from March 31, 2023. The price would be based on the financial performance of this business. However, Sleep Country has stated that Hush would continue to function as an independent entity led by Spivak and Ohayon. They would be guided by a team comprising of senior management from both Hush and Sleep Country.

Sleep Country announced the completion of its acquisition of a 52% stake on October 22, 2021. The deal would mark Sleep Country’s expansion into the sleep ecosystem. Additionally, investors and analysts believe this move signals the beginning of the next phase of growth for Hush. 

Strong Q1 and Q2 performance

Sleep Country succeeded in staying afloat throughout the pandemic and has posted significantly solid results in this year so far. Indeed, the V-shaped recovery in this growth stock is notable, as investors flock to economically sensitive reopening plays.

Sleep Country’s recent earnings were impressive. Indeed, many investors are right to point to these results as drivers of Sleep Country’s recent performance.

The company’s revenue growth has continued to come in around 20% on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, the company’s adjusted earnings have grown by approximately 60% in recent quarters. These kinds of growth rates are hard to come by in any market. Margins remain strong, as does the company’s core business.

All in all, Sleep Country is a growth stock I view as an overlooked gem in a rather overwhelming market. Long-term investors looking for special situation plays may do well to consider this stock on any pullbacks from here.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...
