TOP PICK

Large consulting company with tech exposure.
High margin business with low capital requirements.
Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.
Will be a good stock to hold for long term investors.

PARTIAL SELL

Outsourcing powerhouse. Amazing company. Pretty well priced, as his target is $315. Embraced the metaverse. Really likes it, he still has a 1% position. He'll trim as it approaches its price target.

TOP PICK

World class consulting company.
Major consultant to large corporations.
Very large company without capital requirements.
Consistently hiring top talent.

BUY

A long-term hold for her. The company raised guidance on an improving mix of efficiency and pricing. Won't see much multiple expansion but they will expand the bottom line.

DON'T BUY

They report next Friday. They do very well, but shares tend to decline after their quarters. He thinks companies will reduce digitization to save money and hurt ACN.

HOLD

First thing to get cut in recession is consulting. Demand will continue on cloud computing. Cautious on business given economy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 27/21, Down 26%) Dividend growth and buyback story. Coming recession will give companies opportunities to cut workers through automation. Core holding for him. If it went down by 1/3, he'd buy more. Yield is 1.7%.

BUY

A bit recession-resistant. Fantastic array of clients. 97 of its top 100 clients have been with them for 10 years. A sticky business. A good time to buy if you think, as he does, that the market's going to become more constructive into Q4. (Analysts’ price target is $416.00)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

IT work for Fortune 2000 companies. Good total return. Buybacks and dividend increase. Hold your nose and buy it when it goes on sale. If it goes lower, buy more. Core holding. Likes the franchise 3-5 years longer term.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Only 7.8%? Again, Accenture is steady. It isn’t Meta or Nvidia. ACN trades at 30.1x earnings, which is a far cry from Salesforce‘s 171.9x. Accenture pays a 1.23% dividend yield which (again) is safe based on a 33% payout ratio. How many IT companies even pay a divvy? You can collect that 1.23% and expect nearly 8% share appreciation to come close to a 10% return in a year. Read 3 Long-Term Stocks to Buy and Hold for our full analysis.

BUY

They can grow their dividends and she is looking for sustainable cash flows (that it can grow), and solid dividends.

BUY

Best of breed, diversified businesses. Effectively a tax on Fortune 2000 companies. A go-to for cutting costs. Down 20% and, yes, could go down another 10%, but he'd buy at these levels.

BUY

Believes is a very well run business. Expanding business through the pandemic. Very well managed company that has manged capital well. Currently trading a 25x earnings multiple which is lower than previous two years. Share price presenting good buying opportunity for long term share holders.

TOP PICK

Likes this because of the off-chance of a recession. Did reasonably well during the last couple of recessions. Client base is really sticky. His 12-month price target is $415. Yield is 1.38%. (Analysts’ price target is $388.42)

WATCH

It is in the IT consulting space. There are very few global companies like this to provide this kind of advice. It's a 'steady-eddy' business but what happens with commodity prices and cost of labour. There is some moderation of corporate profits so wait for margins to stabilize. It will be interesting when a soft landing is in site.
