(A Top Pick Feb 21/23, Down 7.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with ACO.X has triggered its stop at $40.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 6%, when combined with the previous buy recommendation.  

DON'T BUY

He targets this where the stock price is now. But he sees a negative signal in the wider market, so this could fall $5 to $30. How far can interest rates rise (he expects them to) in the next 6-12 months?

TOP PICK

Under pressure, as it's comprised mainly of utilities. Owns 53% of Canadian Utilities, representing 80% of earnings. Interest sensitive. Also involved in real estate and infrastructure rentals. Housing, logistics, emergency shelter. Insider buying. Yield is 5.42%.

(Analysts’ price target is $47.86)
DON'T BUY

A nice dividend player, though little known for its utility business in the Far North. Over the past year, they've returned only 0.5% compounded annualized. It pays a 5% dividend, but it doesn't grow much compared to peers.  Does not return enough capital for him. Are better utilities.

BUY

Good-looking chart. Breakouts are his favourite thing in the world (next to chocolate). Downtrend ended, pulled back, but then broke out. That's now classified as a probable neckline, because stock's pulled back to it. Lots of room, as long as the neckline holds (that neckline becomes your new stop point). If it breaks the neckline, get out.

Small trendline moving up, with higher highs and higher lows. Next target is ~$43, the old support. If that breaks, then maybe $45, and then maybe $47. Lots and lots of room on this stock.

BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

It is a relatively low growth company, but shares are up 24% YTD. Sector sentiment has shifted, with lower rates providing a fundamental and sentiment boost and AI-demand adding some excitement to a boring sector. We would not expect the same rate of gains, but would be comfortable holding this for income right now.

Excellent company with strong assets, and demand for product. Will continue to own shares. Expecting further strength in the share price. Very good management team. Recent modular constriction purchase will be good for profits. 

BUY
Missed entry, hoping for a pullback.

Market won't give us justice. If you like it, buy it. If you're really stuck on a better entry point, you could try to wait for $41-42.30. Another way is to leg in. If you want a 4% position, buy 2% today and see what happens.

Great, well-run Canadian company. Expects to see them expand in other geographic areas. Multiples are still fairly good, he'd still recommend it as a buy.
