Softchoice

Great small-cap. Management is diligent, disciplined, ethical. Returns capital to shareholders. Earlier this year, paid shareholders a big special dividend. Underlying results have been very good. Core business. Not going anywhere.

PARTIAL BUY

They re-sell a lot of Microsoft product. Though the stock has disappointed in recent years, operations are solid and shares should improve.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this company that is bringing AI integration to customers of Microsoft across multiple platforms including AWS and Google Cloud.  We like that cash reserves are growing, whiles shares are aggressively bought back and debt is retired.  It trades at 17x earnings and supports a ROE over 90%.  Its modest dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $14.00) to $15.50, looking to achieve $22 — upside potential of 22%.  Yield 2.8%

(Analysts’ price target is $21.75)

The company is striving to bring AI integration to customers thru the Copilot platform of Microsoft across multiple platforms including AWS and Google Cloud.  Recently reported cash from operations was $100 million,  allowing cash reserves to grow while debt is retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 17x earnings and supports a ROE over 90%.  Its modest dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $14, looking to achieve $22 — upside potential of 22%.  Yield 1.9%

(Analysts’ price target is $22.08)

WEAK BUY
Softchoice

The re-sell Microsoft products into companies. Really likes this. Is a tech services and not a software company. Well-run, pays a 2.5% dividend and 28x PE. This year may be choppy because he's unsure what corporate spending on tech will be like.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

SFTC has been relatively flat over the last year and part fo the reason could be attributed to lower hardware demand that is forecasted to rebound in 2024. Despite declining revenues in 2023, SMTC's gross profit margins have improved which is a good sign. Growth forecast for the next two years for revenue is quite marginal for revenue over the next two years while EPS growth is similar. We don't see SFTC having a huge growth profile going forward but the stock could still perform well in 2024. We think there are other more intriguing options.

PAST TOP PICK
Softchoice
(A Top Pick Mar 01/22, Down 3%) Keep in mind that these past top picks were made only four months ago and have not had a longer time frame to show returns. It is a solid tech name in cloud based solutions and has held up well in the tech sell-off. Q1 was mixed but most of its profitability should be in the second half of the year. It is a 10% organic grower.

TOP PICK
Softchoice

An IT solutions provider. It used to be on Canadian markets, went private, then public again. They almost never lose customers. Bay Street doesn't really know this company (no price target). He expects profitability to jump and have high free cash flow convergence. Will grow organically, a steady eddy. Shares are cheap.
