BUY
This is one of his largest positions. He trimmed a little on the way up but it is a long term core holding. The pandemic has really, really helped them. People are ordering more food from home. They are offering their own private label products with same day delivery. They plan to go to $4 Billion in sales over the next five years. They are a competitor to Hello Fresh. Down the road they would be a logical take-over for a grocery store chain. They have executed flawlessly.

TOP PICK
An oversold pandemic stock, with a huge runway for growth. One of the fastest growing companies in Canada. Trading at only 1x sales. Market leader in Canada. Building out a grocery business, which competitors are not doing. Pandemic has got people used to ordering online. Great entry point. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $12.44)

BUY
Selling off post-pandemic, grossly exaggerated. Trading at a massive discount to HelloFresh. Pivoting to online groceries and building the brand, so it's going after a much bigger market than just meal kits, which still has a lot of growth. Subscriber count down, but basket size up. Long runway for growth, but they can't ignore growing the meal kit side of the business.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 28/21, Down 67.4%) Are building online grocery sales now. When he recommended it, he expected another leg up--and shares rose last summer on good numbers. But he sold this around $10 because he was concerned the company was no longer focusing on meal kits and was spending a lot to enter the online grocery delivery business . Selling was the right move, because they have since announced larger operating losses and weaker sales growth.

(A Top Pick Sep 25/17, Up 6%) It is the largest such company in Canada. It has tripled its subscriber base recently. They are in Eastern AND Western Canada. They are a disruptor. There is no inventory or wastage as people order exactly what they need. It goes straight from the distribution center to your door. He thinks this will make a very attractive target for a Canadian grocer.
