As of Sep 10, 2026. Market Open.
He has followed it for many years. He feels it is right to focus on Canadian assets which give higher returns on invested capital. It is consolidating clinics across Canada. There is still more to do in divesting non-core operations in the US. It is too competitive in the US but in Canada it has a competitive advantage of understanding the market structure and how these clinics operate.
It's a drag on the stock that they haven't sold their large American assets. They're spinning off their software business. They own part of a company that AI health software. They have all the parts to make an interesting story, but the market wants to see clean growth and synergies. If ti works, it could be really good. On his watch list.
Concern from the Competition Bureau about some of its acquisitions. Revenue growth last quarter was up 56%, organic growth up 19%. Sees bit of weakness in the growth story over next 12 months.
Really cheap at 9x PE for an exciting growth play. One you want to own in a non-registered account. Not an "if" story, but a "when" story. Thinks your patience will be rewarded.
Good company, likes the CEO quite a bit. Great buying opportunity right now, lots of upside. Especially likes that they're divesting from the US, which they absolutely need to do. Less than 2% market share, with lots of runway to consolidate in Canada. As they do that, investors will get more comfortable with the overall business.
Also, intends to IPO Wellstar this year -- the crown jewel, should command a healthy multiple, unlocking value.
He sold it. It frustrated the crap out of him. Like Knight Therapeutics, it's a Canadian health stock that seemed to have a good story and decent earnings. But it didn't catch fire. The chart shows it bottoms around $3.75. At best, it will hold that level and march up. Canadian healthcare stocks need a lot of patience.
Being investigated for some mergers as potentially anti-competitive. Q3 was in line. Strength in US patients and SaaS segments. Affirmed outlook. Margins beat. Revenue growth up 56% YOY, organic growth up 19%. Analysts have upgraded.
Because of acquisitions, earnings outlook not steady enough. Very cheap at 9.5x PE for 2027. For riskier, more speculative capital, you can own it in a non-registered account.
They bought CRH Medical which has physical locations. This augmented WELL's original online health services. Some investors feel that some companies they've bought don't fit together. It's too early to see how this plays out. Good CEO and digital health is good. The PE has always been too high for him. If they can integrate and show a clear strategy, shares should rise down the road.
Looking to sell off US assets. Stock's interesting at this level, and his team is starting to take a look. Market needs to see some of its pending transactions go through. If the assets are so great, why aren't they executing on the sales? Investors are in wait-and-see mode.
