This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Descartes (DSG-T) has faced significant challenges recently, primarily due to fears surrounding AI disruptions within the software industry. However, several experts maintain a positive outlook, emphasizing the company's strong foundational performance and its unique logistically integrated network built over two decades, which creates a deep moat against competition. Despite the decline in stock performance, experts believe the current valuation presents a buying opportunity for long-term growth. The market challenges, such as the tariff wars and competition from AI, have contributed to a perceived undervaluation; nonetheless, many analysts assert that Descartes remains an essential player in logistics and supply chain management with potential benefits from AI innovations. The stock continues to show resilience and growth prospects, even amidst the market turmoil.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
You just have to buy them and hold if it fits your mandate. Don't fuss about the valuation, as it will always be expensive. Lots of tailwinds. Tech rollup, organic growth, inorganic growth, one of the best CEOs. If it ever sells off 5%, tuck it away.
BUY

They will benefit from the trade wars because they do shipping logistics. Will also benefit from Brexit woes. A major holding for him. There are many companies for them to buy and they are good at it.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 09/18, Up 14%) It hit his valuation target so he sold it. Still likes it, but now global growth is slowing so some of their services will make less money. Trading at 22x EBITDA, so not cheap, but he would buy if it dipped 10%.
BUY
He has not seen any news of diversification into electronic health, which the caller asked about. They do software logistics. They are doing a really good job. It is pretty solid. They do acquisitions at good prices. They provide a steady flow of growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 24/18, Up 30%) They hit the right trends at the right time with trade, tariffs and logistics. They've made more acquisitions to augment growth, raised equity and are smart managers. This sector has secular tailwinds.
BUY
Another secular growth stock. It has been one of the great Canadian growth stocks. Revenue growth has accelerated. It has been disrupting the way people do business. There is always the risk of disappointment. He thinks this company will continue to do well, however. (Analysts’ price target is $48.00)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Common share offering? He likes this well run company. They are always very good with their guidance. They are getting into bigger acquisitions. You should see some efficiencies coming in the next few years. A great technical chart. The time to own this is on pullbacks. The share issue will definitely cause a bit of a pullback, but the company has been astute as to how to employ new capital.
BUY
It has been a stellar performer. He exited it and then it went higher. People give them the benefit of the doubt in terms of acquisitions they may make.
HOLD
He wished he owned this. He could never understand the valuation. They continue to make good acquisitions and he likes the logistics software space. An outstanding performer. He should have bought on the weakness in 2018.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 09/18, Up 35%) They've hit on e-commerce, transportation, tariffs, all these catalysts. It's run further than he thought, so there's momentum now. He's waiting for a better entry point for this. It's solid and well-run. Probably a long runway ahead.
BUY
It's done great for him for the past 5 years. This is a consolidator--when they buy something, it makes the company stronger, adding a deeper dynamic and profit. DSG is buying more shipping to add to their cross-border processing business. Also, they're expanding geographically, now in Australia. They do 2-3 acqusitions a year. It's become quietly a strong company worth holding for the long haul.
STRONG BUY
A big, long-term holding of his. Really likes this company and management with 15% EPS growth continually. They have a wide moat around their business and have global clients in a huge network.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 24/18, Up 20%) A core holding though he's trimmed his position. They do trucking and logistics with systems in place to ensure that clients don't get fined on, say, missing tariffs. They grow by acquisition. They have a high multiple but have generated great cash flow and have been buying great businesses. Mainly tailwinds in trucking and e-commerce.
HOLD
They are a potential take over target as they are one of the largest in the logistics sector. They could privatize the company as well. He thinks they will stay focused and would suggest management keep doing what they are doing.
HOLD
He does not do small caps. It trades on very expensive metrics and he would look to US companies for new capital. If you already own it, continue to hold it.
