I heard that most of the IPO shares will be sold in the US even though the big demand for the shares will be from retail investors in Canada.
I am thinking that the best way to get in might be to purchase Wendy’s and wait for them to spin Timmy shares out to their shareholders in the future.

I think so too. Tim’s is selling at a slightly rich PE of 23, so I am probably going to avoid this IPO. Here are some earlier posts on th subject:

Is this a good investment is my question? Ten years ago where I live in Ottawa had NO Tim Horton’s and the nearest was 5 miles away. Ten years later we have 5 of them, how does the “Company” make money? Is it on the sale of coffee to it’s franchisees or is it on more franchises? If it is the latter, I think waiting for it to come down in price might be a safer bet? (opinion)

I would like to buy Tim’s shares but have no idea how to do so. can you help?

It is probably impossible for average retail investors to get the Tim Hortons shares pre-IPO. You can buy it on the open market when it starts trading on or after March 23rd.

I understand the IPO and the benefits to Wendy’s that come from the IPO…obviously it raises cash and also inflates Wendy’s share price.
CONFUSION: What motivation is there for Wendy’s to spin off ALL of Tim Horton’s as a special dividend??? Is there a huge tax benefit?

Overvalued, the IPO should not be more than $11.00

I just posted my thoughts on my blog about “Why I Won’t Buy Tim Hortons“. I’m an amateur at this and looking forward to your thoughts and counter-analysis!
I was hoping to achieve a study about this “hype” and “mania” through the discussion. And seems like I may have some supporters based on the comments I’ve read here! Interesting!

[...] Why Is Valuation Important? As a value investor, one of the things I’m concerned is finding the intrinsic value of the company vs. the market perceived value. The market perceived value is best described using the baseball card analogy. It’s a matter of supply and demand. Why do you think the IPO price was jacked up? The demand from investors were strong and you really cannot fault the company for taking advantage of the situation to raise more funds. My preliminary screen for a company for to check out a company’s return-on-equity. Tim Hortons’ 2005 income was approximately $181 million (courtesy of Canadian Capitalist). This represents an ROE of 3.5% - not a truly enticing figure. [...]
