(A Top Pick Sep 12/24, Down 6.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with EQX has triggered its stop at $7.25.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  

(A Top Pick Aug 07/24, Up 25%) (Note the short timeframe.)Still ranked very high on RSI. Gold stocks have had a bit of a correction since the election as uncertainty diminished and the USD and crypto took off.

Long-running saga. Barring a significant change in federal and state government, doesn't see it happening, as environmental sensitivity is too high. You could sit on the vine and wait, or move on to a currently viable project.

Collection of Tier 2 assets. Never been fond of Ontario assets. He likes higher quality. Could do very well with a rising price for gold, which tends to favour the marginal over the lower-cost producer.

Hard to recommend this stock. Metals are like the oils now. Hold if you own it, but he wouldn’t put new money in.

Has done quite well, as has that whole space. Under nice, steady accumulation. Solid uptrend.

Only downside is the fee. Just like an ETF, there are more holdings in the wrapper. For a small account, it makes sense. For a larger account, just buy the banks individually. You have to read the prospectus to see what the fee level is to see if it's worth it for the diversification.

(A Top Pick Oct 20/23, Up 103%) It was undervalued, forgotten. Management has done a great job. Shares remain cheap as it pays a 4% dividend. Still likes it and would buy it now.

He won't touch it. You have to ask yourself why is it paying a yield that's more than the component parts? This one uses some kind of structured finance. Lots of leverage involved. Doesn't trust it. The yield looks wonderful, but he doesn't care.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research National Bank has made ECN a Top 2025 pick. The company has a high degree of leverage to interest rates and the economy. If rates decline and the economy holds up, it certainly could do well. Consensus calls for 75% growth in 2025. We think…

Undervalued, great fundamentals. Going through strategic alternatives. A buy and hold strategy will reward you; either from selling off properties one by one, or by closing the gap between public and private market value. In the future, the company won't exist and you'll get back your capital, likely at a premium to where trading today.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research FC is a relatively small mortgage lender. The stock is cheap at 10X earnings, and it mostly trades for its 9.4% yield.

Broke the downward trend, upward trend hasn't broken. Positive when you're in an upward trend.

A disappointment. Pandemic has been the nail in the coffin for movie theatres and DBO's motion systems. Simulation and industrial segments have been profitable. Treading water right now. Long road ahead. Wait and see before stepping in.

Loves the grocery industry, an oligopoly. Well managed. Cheaper than MRU or L. Doesn't have as many discount banners, not many pharmacies. Still good value at these prices, good turnaround, it's looking for expansion opportunities. Farm Boy acquisition going well. He owns Loblaw.

Value. Leaders in frozen seafood in Canadian retail and US institutional. PE of 7x. Buying back stock, paying down debt. Increased dividend by 30% last year. Yield is 4.51%. (Analysts’ price target is $15.42)

Huge margins and free cashflow. Growing business annually compounded at over 15%. International expansion. US acquisition is growing double digits. Online China business growing 80%. Never been cheaper at 17x forward PE. Takeover potential in a few years. Yield is 2%. (Analysts’ price target is $40.82)

(A Top Pick Nov 23/23, Up 61%) Wait for a pullback, given current highs. As Canada's economy softens, more shoppers spend at their discount banners. Shoppers are doing very well in beauty goods as they get out of the low-margin electronics; many provinces are allowing pharmacists to expand their role, which is another tailwind for…

Not interested. Cheap for a reason. De-risked balance sheet, compelling dividend, seemingly low valuation. Not in fast-growing industries. Publishing's in secular decline. Packaging has had tepid growth.

Up 17.5% YTD. Very much technology-driven in have-to-have services in accounting, law, and other areas. Gaining penetration in its industries. Problem now is the high multiple, has become more like a growth stock. Better places to look.It never hurts to take a profit, because you never really make money until you actually realize it. Overall,…

Likes it for primarily being Loblaws and Choice Properties which has a solid tenant base including Shoppers Drug Mart. Has reasonable growth prospects. The only caveat is politicians complaining about high food prices, but it doesn't bother him. The grocers face costs pressures from energy costs and higher wages. (Analysts’ price target is $189.86)

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Under activists' pressure, the CEO has decided to step down, which was likely because the company decided it was going to lose anyway in the upcoming special shareholders' meeting. DND says it has received expressions of interest from ''inbound parties', at 'attractive premiums' but has…

Digital logistics. Almost fully priced. Don't buy here, but look under $127-128, $131, and then $134. Wait. (Analysts’ price target is $141.50)

(A Top Pick Dec 13/23, Up 9%) Corporate budgets under pressure has dampened spending. Backlog has remained very strong. Hasn't grown as strongly as some peers. Sitting just above his buy price at north of 20x; for new $$, wait for a better valuation.

(A Top Pick Aug 22/22, Down 17%) Software company that is based in Ireland. Offers compliance and validation software in life sciences business.Currently has 8/10 of top pharma & 18/20 top bio-pharma companies as customers. Growing customer base at a rapid rate.Very positive on outlook of business.Will continue to own shares.

Still likes the story. Lightening up, as stock's doubled over the past year. Hasn't been buying since ~$20 level. Valuation's gone up a bit. Great momentum relative to the group. Leading on the number of contracts.

Q3 nice beat across the board. So many different ways to grow this company. So pricey. Need to use the chart to figure out when to buy. Dangerous to be out of it, but you don't want to buy close to its highs.On down days, write puts to get it at a lower price. In…

Has been a wild ride in past years, but they are now on the right path under current managers. Metrics like margin expansion look fine. Is now trading at a huge discount to intrinsic value and can re-rate further as performance continues.

Great management team. Recent spinoff is interesting, as it's about optimizing value for shareholders, not about empire-building. Capital discipline is there.

In a patent dispute with Citrix (CTXS-Q), which looks like it is going their way but the same thing happen to him or five years ago when one of the judges derailed the whole process. Now back on track, but Citrix has a lot of firepower and money so they can delay it. Long, drawn…

Phenomenally good performance. Now at inflection point. Seeing more and bigger contracts both on surveillance and on batteries. Hopefully this is just getting started and it doesn't get bought out before the long runway of earnings growth and share price appreciation materializes.

Operating margin gets hit by a lot of factors, not least of which is lumpy earnings from various segments. Demand for pilot training has been slower than hoped. Pickup on defense side, and those margins should improve.

Bought at $50, $70, and $134. Definitely volume on this name. Note that the recent move is parabolic. So you want to look at the stock over its 200-day MA; don't want to see much more than 15%. 15-20% over the 200-day is getting into overbought territory.Up is good and down is bad, but when…

Pretty small, not profitable. Only a 23M market cap. Radar based technology for the mining industry. Recently certified by the aviation industry. It must prove that it can be cash flow positive.

Amazing job. Underlying metrics on profitability are incredible, but can it continue? If yes, will be a multi-compounder for years to come. As they keep delivering, so does confidence that they can keep doing so. Vast addressable market. Savvy management. You have to watch carefully that numbers back up the story. Safe to accumulate.

Underwater. Definitely undervalued, trading at a lower multiple than peers. Lost all credibility. If it's in a non-registered account and you can bank the tax loss, sell. If in a registered account, perhaps wait until the new year because tax-loss selling may be putting extra pressure on the stock price right now; could see a…

Q3 was a bit below on generation and pricing headwinds. More importantly, offshore continues to track on time and on budget. Mirrored 2024 guidance. De-risked a lot of their buildout. Part of the solution for the power problem in Europe.Nice dividend, but it's still pretty pricey as a power company. Probably getting hit by tax-loss…

Currently underwater. Tough time for BCE, just look at the chart. Spooked the market with expansion plans that people weren't anticipating. People own it for the dividend, lately that's been in question, could be cut down the road. Trading ~11x earnings, yield over 10%. Hard to sell when you're down this much, so hold and wait…

(A Top Pick Dec 08/23, Down 26%)Down 10 straight sessions, longest losing streak in 21 years. CRTC hasn't helped. Lack of population growth was not foreseeable. Interest rates went up faster than anticipated. Believes telcos will start to follow the US model and start to sell their towers, lots of opportunity to monetize to the…

This is going to be the high-tech story in Canada. They developed a platform for real estate agents and have over 300,000 users now. The only problem with it was that it was not trading in the US, but it has now started trading there. Now a global operation. It’s illiquid.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Oil is down, which doesn't help. The budget shows a slight decline in production from year end exit rates, so investors may be worried that all the spending ($1.2B) is not going to boost actual average production rates. BTE also updated its five-year plan, which…

Company share price is reflective of lack in interest in small energy names (market cap too small). Company needs to sell itself in order to generate value. Better options for investors out there. 

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research IPO is a small cap oil and gas company. It is down about 10% over the last year, but has been trending up year-to-date.

They brought in a partner this summer to help develop the East Duvernay. They still have too much debt. She is watching it but not recommending it. Not everything is cheap in this sector, still have to selective.

Thinks it can work at $70 oil. Generates 10% FCF yield at $70 oil. Reached final debt targets, so all free cashflow should return to shareholders mostly in form of buybacks. Over the next 5 years, compounding effect should expand FCF yield from 10% to 20%. If oil goes to $80, you go from 14% FCF…

Not a good investment with current management team. Other energy companies available with better opportunities.

Company too small to hit institutional radar screens. Quality company, but better options in markets. 

Very cheap relative to peers. Oil patch, as a group, has a problem in that Trump is going to encourage drilling, which means a lot more competition. OK balance sheet, as is production and cashflow-per-share growth. We're in the midst of tax-loss selling, with so much pressure to pay less capital gains tax. People are just…

Pipeline in place right now, waiting for facilities. Big thing right now is a pending sales agreement. Management confirms this week that helium price has a chance to move up, and focus is on getting the sales agreement done. Once the agreement is in place, you can step in with a bigger position, because company…

Gas play in Hungary. There is gas there but can you get it out and can you do it economically? It is very deep. Exxon is a good partner but a slow one.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research It did miss cash flow per unit estimates in the Q3. Not by a lot, but a miss is a miss (15.9c vs 16.1c expected).

Given the housing shortage, is the focus on building new homes a tailwind for REITs? Long-term, yes, for residential REITs, like apartment ones. They also benefit from more immigration. This leads to higher rents. InterRent, Minto and CAP are his preferreds in this space. CAP is the biggest, and they hold a super-quality portfolio that…

Large issue with the company is legalizing the products(marijuana). Another worry is the over supply of products in the market. Federal laws against marijuana in USA make it hard to deal with expenses that are not deductible (100% tax rate). Could be a good investment if US legislation changes. In the meantime, would not recommend…

They own a series of food distribution businesses. It appears they are not making any money from them. It appears to be a scale problem.

(A Top Pick Nov 27/23, Down 17%) Everything that could go wrong, has. Potential tariffs of 25%. Concerns about capex needed for EVs. Now trading at 3x operating cashflow, 7-8 forward PE. Doing the right things, great backlog, European exposure. Still likes the story, sticking with it. 

Great compounder over the last decade, when they benefited from growth in the Ontario economy. Seeing softness in the space. Park in your portfolio and hold it for the long term. Does trade at a higher multiple. 

A lot of $$ was made, but now investors have come to realize marijuana is just a commodity. The company bears all the costs, but it has the federal/provincial government as a partner that shares equally in all the upside, but none of the down. Even advertising is restricted.For a consumer stock, he holds Unilever.

The technicals do not look good at all – with a decline lasting over the past two months. He would not touch this one at all. A 50 day moving average would be a buy signal if it can trade back above it.

Figured out a way to use an agent to produce CBD in a lab, which will make it cheaper and more consistent. Still rolling it out into the commercial space. The future.

They take a large nuclear magnetic resonance machine and shrink it down to a desk top size. They now have a high def version. Theirs is better than their nearest competitor. It won't be profitable until 2021.

They have option agreements with major partner Rio Tinto, but these have been under dispute for the past year. It's worth tens of millions of dollars. The stock has fallen because of this battle; investors have lost patience. He owned this before the legal battle and didn't want to wait for it to be sorted…

This has an igneous phosphate deposit, as opposed to the sedimentary type of deposit that comes from Morocco. They have a positive feasibility study and a very high CapX, and are working through the permitting cycle. What they need is one of the big agricultural companies to do a buyout and develop it. It’s not…

Great managers. Have a gold discovery in BC. It's high-risk, high-reward. They got nice financing before the current market rout. It's a good speculation, but not for long-term investors.

When he saw them invest in Virginia, he sold. So he missed their very interesting discovery in Northern Canada, which has the potential to (not "will") be very large. Hoping current malaise in junior exploration continues, so that as they deliver more news on the remote deposit, he might get a better entry point.

Does not own shares.Has invested in management team before, but not this time.Bullish on Uranium.Better names in sector at this point. 

Extracts protein from vegetables like canola, peas, and soy. Has 285 patents. There is negligible revenue despite the company being around for more than 20 years. Difficult to apply fundamental analysis. Too speculative for him. Need to see revenue and profit.

He's not an M&A guy. Not much too say with a chart like that. Penny stocks are not his forte, so he prefers not to comment.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Has had a good start to the year. UP 19%. Expensive at 17x sales. THey made an acquisition that brought in $24M in revenues.
