Premium contentONEX has over $49 billion in assets under management including WestJet - with over $8 billion of its own assets invested. It trades under book value. Recently reported earnings showed a 27% increase in quarterly EPS. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $77, looking to achieve $119 -- upside potential of 28%. Yield 0.3%
(Analysts’ price target is $119.00)Premium contentWe reiterate ONEX, a Canadian private equity firm with WestJet in its portfolio, as a TOP PICK. It trades at 7x trailing earnings and under book value. The company is prudently using some cash reserves to draw down debt and buy back shares. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $77) to $89, looking to achieve $121 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 0.3%

Its structured credit business closed on 23 transactions, raising over $5 billion in new fee generating business. It trades at 9x earnings and under book value. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $89) to $108, looking to achieve $145 -- upside potential of 27%. Yield 0.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $1450.00)Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with ONEX has triggered its stop at $108. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 6%.
Stock's gone nowhere for a fair bit of time. Latest move from 2023 is quite positive, and broke out above $100. With volatility in the markets, these guys pick up great assets and make something of them. Why not capitalize on their expertise? Global, gives you private equity exposure to companies you wouldn't have on your own. Yield is 0.32%.
(Analysts’ price target is $144.00)
It is going sideways and is on his watchlist. There is lots of upside ahead when it breaks out of its consolidation phase. The breakout hasn't happened yet so he is not buying, but you could trade it - buy it at the bottom of its trading range and sell it at the top. He gives the chart a 5 out of 10 which is not bad.
