Constellation Software Inc. (CSU) has faced significant challenges recently, particularly concerning the departure of its long-serving CEO, Mark Leonard, and increasing fears about AI's potential disruption of traditional software businesses. Many analysts believe the company's strong acquisition model and established market presence position it well for future growth, although concerns about its ability to sustain its roll-up strategy persist, especially in light of competitive pressures and market sentiment around software. The consensus from various experts suggests that while the current valuation is attractive, especially compared to historical levels, caution is advised given the potential for continued volatility and the need for the company to demonstrate sustained organic growth. Overall, despite the mixed sentiments regarding its immediate future, a substantial number of analysts remain bullish on CSU's long-term growth prospects, reflecting confidence in its business model and management team.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 17/11, Up 54.69%) Return on capital makes it a profit machine. A lot of acquisitions this year and expects spectacular growth next year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
A large software company that basically grows by acquisition. Reported earnings around May 1 was a negative 8% earnings surprise. This was unusual for this company. This stock ranks in the top 15% of his database. This is one that you could buy and put away for a year. Would look to buy at around $85. $100 would be a reasonable target in 12 months.
COMMENT
Good growth. Yielding 4.4%.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Recent pullback was the function of a large secondary placement of shares from insiders. Nothing has changed and the company is hitting on all cylinders. Would look at any further weakness as a buying opportunity.
TOP PICK
Going into a bit of correction so it is timely. Analysts won't put any growth in because they haven't acquired anything but it's only March. Phenomenal cash flow.
TOP PICK
Own about 45 different software businesses globally. Recently doubled their dividend. Has phenomenal free cash flow.
TOP PICK
His top holding. Likes them because of value creation, return on capital. Had a great move this year. 52 week high today. Will perform very, very well next year. Has held it since he started the fund, but was buying a week and a half ago.
TOP PICK
Stock is up about 50% this year and feels the earnings will also be up 50% this year. Inexpensive on a PE multiple. Fantastic management.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 30/10. Up 73.91%.) Varied software programs. They acquire relatively small “best of breed” software companies and keep the cash flows lean and mean and use cash flows to buy more companies. One of the top companies to own in Canada.
BUY
Expectation that it will be sold and if that happens, it will be at $85 or better. If it doesn't get sold and the stock is still public 12 months from now, it will be worth way more than $85. Superb management.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 14/10. Up 80.65%.) Expect they will be sold in the next 90 days at over $90.
STRONG BUY
His top holding. His guess is that they put themselves up for sale. These guys aren’t dummies and won’t sell it cheap. His guess is they won’t take an offer under $100. Doesn’t think the process will take more than 90 days.
TOP PICK
Software that are probably in 35-40 different silos. Very good at identifying best-of-breed software and making acquisitions. Everything from transportation to government services to housing, etc. Capital management of this company is superb. Growing at about 35% per annum. Very undervalued.
TOP PICK
Software company that mainly grows by acquisition. Excellent top line growth. ROE is somewhere in the 35%-40% range. Great “buy and hold”.
TOP PICK
Big company without a huge profile. 30-40 companies under it to do all kinds of things in Canada and the US. Able to buy companies at a very good valuation. Single digit P/E. Thinks stock is worth double.
