Phil Smith Celestica Inc CLS-T WAIT Mar 14, 2001

This area of the market has seen massive demand, largely driven by AI and the buildout of data centres. Outlook is quite strong. Valuation quite reasonable. Very well run. Future isn't as certain within the semi sector. His preference is TSM or NVDA.

Looks good. He'd pick CLS, as it's in a nice upward trend. More potential upside.

The chart says the old high has been taken out. Good. The rebound in the last two months was a big move, parabolic. But count on a short-term pullback, as long as it doesn't break below the old high of $180. This is very good.

Already trading 30% above what analysts think it's worth a year from now. In momentum mode. If you're going to trade and buy at the breakout here, you have to be very sensitive to a correction at some point as seen in the chart in February. That's the environment we're in when you're chasing new all-time highs on a name.

He's a value guy. He likes to buy on a pullback, not when a stock's breaking out to all-time highs. That's just his style, doesn't mean it's right and other ways are wrong.

It doesn't pay a dividend, Assembles materials for data centres and correlates to Nvidia. It has been switching to a more stable recurring revenue sysytem. He wonders about other developments coming and looks for dividend paying stocks with less volatility. He talked about Verses Tech on the Neo exchange (VERS) with a different method of machine learning and AI which uses less computer power and less electricity.

Great Canadian success story. Positioned themselves well to benefit from the AI trend and data centre buildout. Benefiting from semiconductor companies spending huge amounts. Not cheap, but not egregiously overpriced. Huge run, but earnings momentum is there. Take a bit off the table.

In general, margins for contract manufacturers are very thin. But this name's on a roll. Great space, as the world will continue to build data centres. Very strong earnings momentum. Consistent upgrades to earnings estimates, which is what you want in a growth stock. Better than 98% of companies in the S&P over last 52 weeks.

A bit stretched above MAs, may be susceptible to a miss. Reports in 11 days, and no sign that it has big risks.

We would be comfortable today as long as an investor has a 3 year+ timeframe to hold. Funamental momentum is very positive and the recent quarter showed an acceleration of growth.

It has done everything right the last few years. An excellent turnaround story. However, the stock is priced for perfection. Too expensive to enter. 

Lots of investors are taking profits, generally, now that earnings season is over. Needed a strong stomach for this one; in April, was under $80. He can't even recommend writing some calls, as he's been doing that and it's not working ;) He ended up having to buy the calls back, as he didn't want to get called away. 

Don't trim. Hold on, and use a stop of around $250.
