Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

The experts' reviews highlight that the iShares S&P/TSX Information Technology Capped ETF is heavily concentrated in a few stocks, notably 25% in CSU, 25% in SHOP, and 19% in GIB.A. The consensus seems to be that it's better to focus on specific stocks rather than purchasing the entire index, especially considering the relatively high 5.35x price to sales ratio. Names like OTEX and CLS are suggested as potential alternatives. However, it is noted that the reviewer does not currently own either of these stocks.

Valuation
Overvalued
DON'T BUY

This ETF is really 25% CSU plus 25% SHOP, and 19% GIB.A. So if 70% of the ETF is in 3 stocks, perhaps you want to look at the stocks themselves to see which ones make sense. 5.35x price to sales is not cheap, so it's better to pinpoint names than buy the entire index.

OTEX and CLS are two names that screen decently for him, though he owns neither.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Do not think there is a big rush to add more here. Unlike US tech ETFs, XIT is still very heavily skewed towards just five companies. There is potential and the bottom should be close. It becomes a question of position size and timeframe. Every time we think we are close to a bottom the market seems to roll over again. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Basket of tech names. SHOP numbers are down dramatically again today. XIT is at another 52-week low. Pretty cautious on tech market. TSX tech names are cheaper than US S&P, but still not cheap at 4.3x price to sales. Early pandemic winners are now the late pandemic losers. Don't add. Rising interest rates don't bode well for this kind of investment. There may be a bounce, but do you want to hold for the next 2 years after that?
E.T.F.'s
HOLD
He's held it twice. When he saw that SHOP was worth more than RY, he sold. But now that SHOP's dropped so much, he bought again 3 weeks ago, only to see SHOP drop again. When he sees something's not working for him, he gets out. Don't make it 50% of your portfolio. He's watching it, but still holding.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
He's low on his tech weighting. You've had a multi-year timeframe to own tech. Now a lot of people are trapped at higher prices, who were late to the game. Be cautious about buying something with so many built-in sellers. Go where the bull market is, not where it was.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Right now the fear seems worse than reality. The NASDAQ is down about 7% in a week. There could be another 2-3% drop, but there shouldn’t be a huge crash. There is inflation fear but tech has done ok in a growth environment. Companies are reporting solid earnings and growth should be noticed again. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT

The viewer was seeking an equal-weight ETF that contained the top 15-20 Canadian tech companies. A market cap weighted ETF of Canadian tech. It is dominated by Shopify, Onyx, CGI. RYT is the American alternative that is equal weight for US large-cap tech that has around 70 names.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

S&P Info Tech Canadian index. He would be careful here. It is at all time new highs. This is going to live or due by SHOP-T. He would be cautious here. The stocks representing large portions of this ETF are very highly valued and perhaps a little over done. Look for corrections down the road.

E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY

The Canadian tech sector is not great in that it is not diversified. It is a bet on SHOP-T. You could buy it on the next big swing down.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
He loves infotech. XIT has a great chart, but consolidation is coming. (Later this year, the economy will chug along with some money flows into materials and maybe energy.) As long as XIT's uptrend remains intact it's fine, but if there's a breakdown, sell and buy elsewhere. Look for weakness in coming weeks to enter. Overall, he's bullish about infotech.
E.T.F.'s
BUY

A stock or ETF in the Canadian digital space? 16 stocks are in this with 85% made up for four stocks like Shopify and OTEX. It's less risky than buying, say Shopify on its own.

E.T.F.'s
COMMENT

Shopify, CGI and Open Text are the biggest holdings. This is a great play on Canadian tech. He's owned the component stocks, but he prefers holding tech stocks internationally, so he recommends SOXX-Q.

E.T.F.'s
COMMENT

It's up because of the 5G revolution. He uses IGM, a broader based US tech ETF, and he's thinking of taking profits in it. He's a cautious investor these days due to tariff war uncertainty. If you buy anything, it should have a dividend, so you still get paid if things take a turn.

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Morningstar rates it only one star. He likes tech. Don't trust the Morningstar ratings blindly. It's a higher-beta ETF.
