TOP PICK

Very disciplined approach to acquisitions, which they integrate and manage very well. Strong management team. Rights offering raised $280M so they can pay down debt and still have money in their jeans. Tech valuations have come down, so it will be on the hunt for opportunistic acquisitions, which is positive. Yield is 0.19%.

(Analysts’ price target is $3114.38)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 12/22, Up 57%)

Exceptional compounder. Difficult business model to replicate. Product risk is exceptionally low because it's so diversified. Have to be disciplined on price, don't buy here. Keep your eye on and add on a pullback.

BUY

A great chart. It will consolidate at some periods, but is now in a leg up, making higher highs.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Buy rights to the unsecured debentures?

Great business model, management team, and culture. They go quietly about their business. Focused on vertical markets, which is extremely fragmented and the pieces can be bought by a serial acquirer for modest multiples. A friendly buyer, very profitable.

Owns the stock, but doesn't own the debenture rights anymore. Debentures have the advantage of good credit quality plus inflation protection. He didn't want the exposure, so sold the rights.

COMMENT

It has done very well but is maybe overdone, so you could trim your position. It is well positioned in the tech sector but he prefers others with more attractive prices.

COMMENT

It's had a good run. Any uptrend will see a consolidation period which is happening now. Nothing wrong with that. Could pull back slightly. The story is intact long term.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great company with strong history of M&A.
Also organic growth recently.
Does not owns shares currently.
Higher interest rates makes funding costs tough.
Wait for pullback before investing.
Quality company for long term investors.
Excellent management team. 

BUY

Hard-pressed to find any downside. One of the best stocks on the Canadian market. Average rate of return is 34%. May pause, but doesn't look like slowing down. Make sure it stays above a trend line, or apply moving averages and keep holding as long as it stays above the 200-day MA. It's more a buy and hold, not a trade.

TOP PICK

Growth appears to be continuing. 
Expecting larger acquisitions going forward.
Inflation not impacting business.
Organic growth and pricing power very strong.
Current share price a good time to buy. 
Excellent management team - very skilled at capital allocation. 

BUY

Pretty solid growth name. On a PEG basis, still a favourable name. 

HOLD

They are the global king of software vertical integration. He expects their growth to continue, even though they are already a massive company. The company is plateauing now. $2,780 is his price target.

TOP PICK

Wonderful compounder of capital. Amassing capital through rights offering and spinoffs. Wonderful management team, great balance sheet. Foolish to bet against its history. Yield is 0.19%.

(Analysts’ price target is $2985.38)
BUY

Leader in Canadian infotech. Next expansion phase is underway, confirmed by its breaking out to new all-time highs. Fantastic chart, great name.

HOLD

Very well run, respected management. Favourable market for it to make less expensive acquisitions. If you own it, can hold for the long run.

BUY

Likes it. Most software companies are horizontally built, but CSU has vertical silos. Shares have come off a bit. He targets $2,925, so it has a good runway. They 7 silos, including healthcare and manufacturing. They built their acquisitions under those silos vs. other software companies that bring out a software and say it's for the masses.
