Descartes (DSG-T) is a highly regarded logistics company that has experienced recent stock price pressure primarily due to fears of AI disruption within the software sector. Despite these challenges, many experts believe the company possesses a durable competitive advantage and has robust underlying operating performance. Analysts highlight the firm's unique logistics network that is difficult to replicate and its ability to incorporate AI to enhance operations, potentially benefiting from increased demand amid trade complexities. While some experts suggest that current market conditions may afford a buying opportunity, others express caution, emphasizing the stock's recent underperformance and the broader impacts of trade tariffs. Overall, Descartes is viewed as a strong long-term investment, but its short-term prospects are influenced by external economic factors and market sentiment.

DSG-T vs. OTEX-T which to sell to raise cash? DSG-T, if you own it, you would have done very well, but the fair market value is 78% lower than where it is at now. There is a lot of momentum behind it but not a lot of value. OTEX-T is trading right at its fair market value and has not been above that in ten years. He would sell either one if you want a source of cash.

DON'T BUY

Great company. Overvalued. Pandemic and e-commerce have been a boon. Growth both organic and by its acquisition spree. Trades at 71x earnings. His preference is for Open Text, which has a larger market and has grown more quickly. OTEX trades at 14x earnings.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The stock under $70 would be attractive as an entry point. It is expected to grow earnings by 50% next year. The stock continues to grow despite covid. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK
They are a leader in global logistics. They help customers assess, real time, what the rates are for shipping. They layer in efficiency that is hard to find. (Analysts’ price target is $57.47)
BUY
He's long owned them. Their business of taking care of all the shipping paperwork (logistics) for a business is spot on. Their long-term return has been fantastic and they have a long way to go still. They benefit from the chaos in trading now (i.e. Trump's tariffs).
BUY
When you have a good company you should not sell it. The growth looks good, the balance sheet is good and the track record is excellent. They are probably setting themselves up to be sold. (Analysts’ price target is $60.00)
BUY
He wishes every stock looked like this, going straight up since 2014. An amazing chart. Maybe you can trade this. You can still get into this, since the momentum remains strong.
BUY
Logistics business. It is software as a service with 90% of revenue is recurring and growing rapidly. Online retail is a new sector for them. It will grow for many years.
DON'T BUY
