He really likes commodities. There's a major commodity secular movement happening. Gold, silver, and uranium have all popped, and there's a rotation within the commodity space. All that AI stuff involves either rare earth or base metals.
This name is a base metal. Aluminum trade was soft for a while, but has picked up. These metals will be used everywhere, so he likes the demand. Yield is 1.08%.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This integrated producer of aluminum and the world's largest miner of bauxite is a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings support a 30% ROE and cash reserves are growing, while the company buys back shares and retires debt. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 21x and is valued at 1.5x book. We recommend placing a stop loss at $31, looking to achieve $60 -- upside of 25%. Yield 0.8% (Analysts’ price target is $78.64)

We are seeing weakness in all the metals, primarily because of the situation in China. For the longest time, commodity prices have been driven by what is going on in China. The Chinese government and their central bank is trying very hard to keep growth going forward. While this is going on, it is very difficult for metal prices in general to make any progress. One thing in this company’s favour is the expectation of a lot of aircraft orders. He is not sure it is enough to counteract the slow growth in metals globally.
