COMMENT

CGI has been on a monster tear. There are rare non-commodity, utility or financial companies. There is a premium on these. They missed on a quarter and organic growth is slowing. It is an acquisition story, however. He would prefer Constellation Software that they own.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They are probably one of the best in making acquisitions in Canada and in the US. This stock has been consolidating and he thinks there could be a re-acceleration up. You would have a chance to buy it now before it moves up.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 20/19, Up 25%) It is slow and steady. They make good acquisitions and they have never issued new stock. He likes it a lot.

TOP PICK

This one had an excellent run. It is one of the two strongest stocks on the TSX over the last 10 years. Their CEO is considered one of the best capital allocators in the world, not just in Canada. This is in his view a forever-hold stock. (Analysts’ price target is $1423.00)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 28/18, Up 52%) Really likes infotech. CSU is now consolidating, a little choppy, but it remains a core holding. He expects near-time weakness along with the overall market in January.

COMMENT

It’s a surprising story that has gone up. An expensive stock in terms of overall price. However, it is a project-by-project company so as long as the economics of the internet continues to grow, they will be fine. A good acquirer with positive results that will continue to show capital appreciation.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Tremendous managers who acquire well and have a strong business strategy. More acquisitions to come. They deploy capital well at high rates of return. Buy on any weakness. This won't slow down; growth to come. A core long-term holding.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They pulled back today, which happens time to time. Their business is so diverse, so he's not worried. He would buy this on a downturn. They invest their free cash flow well. They've had a great run-up.

HOLD

A perfect medium term hold and he owns a 2% holding in his portfolio. They acquire software startups and hold them for the long term. They have acquired of 260 startups. Their 10 year return on capital is 32% annually. His price target is $1425.

COMMENT

Constantly acquiring. Great Canadian name. Margins are very strong, but some are concerned with the organic growth. They have cash, and he'd say M&A will pick up next year. Complementary US name is Roper Technologies.

TOP PICK

A company that grows by acquisition. A $30B market cap company that grew free cash flow by 42% yoy. 16% increase in sales. Their return on capital is good and we could see 11% upside. (Analysts’ price target is $1423.00)

BUY

He really likes it. One of the best management teams. It is pretty steady up and to the right so it looks pretty nice. They acquire 'old' tech companies and share best practices. Then they take the cash flows that those companies spin out and then go and invest that cash. You can sit back and trust management.

DON'T BUY

Growth by acquisition. Appreciation slows down as acquisitions slow down. Need organic growth to keep the story going. Valuation high. The law of large numbers eventually catches up with you. Other opportunities at better valuations.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A software company that's really come to the forefront in recent years. A great chart with constant growth. It's done a good job of finding good growth opportunity. This will be more volatile if the market is volatile. Not a big dividend payer so more of a capital appreciation play.

STRONG BUY

An amazing chart. It's still in its uptrend which is consistent while the market has been volatile. CSU is entering seasonality, too. This can go higher. It's "blue sky" and he can't tell when it will stop rising.
