BUY
Luckily, be bought this on a dip. A great Canadian tech company. They buy software companies in a vertical strategy, geared to specific industries like healthcare. He targets $2,665, so a nice runway lies ahead. During dips, the stock hasn't fallen that much.
COMMENT

They grow by acquisition. Had held up well in the face of rising interest rates. Weakness in tech companies opens opportunities for CSU to acquire other tech companies. A strong company with good managers, however, there's not much organic growth.

BUY
Big acquisition in healthcare last night is what people have been waiting for. It will be materially accretive to the share price. Runway of growth is huge.
STRONG BUY
The Michael Jordan of Canadian tech. Hold and never sell it. Consistently high returns on capital. The PE is never low, always a little high, but he can live with that. He made a mistake trimming this at $600, and now look where it is. CSU is best in class, must-own.
BUY
