BUY
A tech pick? CSU are great acquirers and integrators. Why buy a US tech stock when you can buy a Canadian one at half the price (in terms of valuation)? Software will take over the world.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

TOP PICK
Exceptional. Holds its own and shines when stacked up against the greatest companies in the world. High stock price just means that they haven't split their shares. His #1 position in client portfolios. Yield is 0.31%. (Analysts’ price target is $1685.63)
TOP PICK
Has one of Canada's greatest CEOs. Best growth days are probably behind it, but still a great business. It buys companies and uses the free cashflow to keep buying more. He thinks eventually its businesses will spin off. Great balance sheet. Yield is 0.32%. (Analysts’ price target is $1679.38)

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company has seen a drop recently, and the spin out of Topicus will happen shortly. It has a strong balance sheet and it should see more upside in the medium term. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Picks from 5i Research. The potential Topicus spin out still has some details to be released. 5i expects the stock price to drop to reflect the value of the spin out although current investors should receive Topicus shares when this happens. Spin outs can create value despite it being harder to grow a company as it gets bigger. CSU has a solid history. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Canadian tech stocks (DOKS - Descartes, Open Text, Kinaxis, Shopify) as a buy-and-hold strategy? His favourite among this narrow class of stocks is CSU. They make good acquisitions shrewdly, which made them grow into the dominant Canadian name. It's a better bet until Shopify starts being consistently profitable.

TOP PICK
It is his largest position and he has owned it since 2014. The management team is one of the best on the planet. They continue to acquire and integrate software companies. Roll up strategies can be disastrous, but some do it very well, not getting distracted. (Analysts’ price target is $1598.11)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 24/19, Up 21%) The whole group has gone up and so has this one. It made a bigger acquisition in Europe and wants to now spin off this company to make more acquisitions. It is not expensive.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He has added to his portfolios over the last 6 months. It is an interesting software company. They sell niche products. It grows by acquisition. They are a cash cow and could pay a dividend but they are rolling up the industry successfully. Don’t chase it here. Buy a quarter of your position and then the rest on a check back in the markets.
