Kinaxis Inc. (KXS-T) is recognized as a leader in supply chain management software, particularly with advancements in AI technology that could bring both disruption and opportunity. Despite the company's strong execution, its stock has been volatile and the broader logistics sector faces challenges from the potential risks of AI disruption. Experts note the firm has experienced a significant de-rating from its previous premium valuation, leading to caution among investors. There's an overall sentiment to watch the effects of AI in subsequent quarters, as some analysts believe a turnaround might be on the horizon, though they recommend incrementally investing rather than making substantial purchases. The ongoing shifts in the sector suggest that it may still be too early to definitively determine whether the current pricing reflects a bottom or if further declines are possible.
(Past Top Pick, Nov. 14, 2017, Up 34%) One of the strongest tech companies in Canada. They do logistics and machine learning. They "land and expand" by landing a client, then grow the contract value as the client becomes used to their services. They have global customers including Toyota. Valuation is high because it's a high-growth company. Still likes it.
This software company is one of the best four Canadian public offerings along with the likes of Shopify. He bought the IPO at $13. There was a dispute with Samsung that resulted in them exiting an agreement with them. He took money off the table then under that uncertainty. It trades at 70 times earnings. He likes the management team.
You need to give it a multi-year view. It is not cheap. It solves a complex problem for their customers. It takes a multi-year trial of their software. They have done a really good job of growing at a pace that has allowed them to be profitable. They have met or exceeded his two to three year expectations every year that he has owned it.
