Rogers Communications (B), Canadian Pacific Rail and More Earnings Reports this Week (Apr 19-23)

Likes royalty because there is less business risk. However, it is not risk free. Probably a good buy on dips. The reflation trade is interesting. For the next 6-12 months, it is okay for a trade.

(A Top Pick Apr 24/18, Up 21%) Organic growth is 9-11% annually for the least few years, excluding acquisitions. Impressive. They just had a great quarter. They're doing the right things and setting themselves up to be the premiere benefits company.

Has it in his special opportunities portfolio. Their mine in progress in Peru is very interesting. He has raised his target to $6. A speculative buy. One of the largest undeveloped projects in the world. Continues to add when the allocation drops. Waiting for it to surf. (Analysts’ price target is $6.00)

A tricky one. Have a very small mine in Ireland that they are trying to put into production as well as a small jewellery division. There is no clear indication of what they are trying to be. Gold deposit is very small.

Well-run. When the gold price moves, this will too. Own it if you believe this will happen and are patient. Long-term.

He doesn’t follow this company, but generic comments on graphite is that if you are keen on Elon Musk and Tesla, you should be keen on graphite. There is literally more graphite in lithium ion batteries than there is lithium. However, graphite is not all the same. You want really, really course graphite for batteries.…

(A Top Pick Apr 04/19, Down 90%) He has been surprised. He likes the sector. He thinks there will be consolidation of the licenses in Ontario and this company can capitalize on it. It is a sector he is watching to get back into.

Transports within industrials have been great performers. Great way to play the economic cycle. Bottlenecks in logistics getting product to market. Global stimulus should see an economic boom. Rails have a great business model, and CP in particular looks attractive. KSU deal would be additive to earnings. If they don't win, stock price will go…

Has always admired management execution. Successfully transformed from oil to general trucking. He'd be interested if it traded 10-15% lower. You could buy, tuck it away, and hold for a long time.

Has a $1B market cap. A play on Canadian infrastructure spending. The yield is decent around 4%. Trades at 5x enterprise value to EBITDA. Trades at a 34% discount to US comparables. 97% growth expected this year, with a PE of less than 16x. Could see a 2-3x upside if it breaks $23. (Analysts’ price…

(A Top Pick Feb 12/20, Down 9%) He used to own 5% of the company and made a 40% profit in a few months--but he sold it way too early. Give this lesson, now he'd rather sit on oil names and ride it out, or else he'll miss the upside. Companies like this won't spend…

He thinks there is a good chance the acquisition of Shaw will go through. They could increase their dividend over time. It is a long duration asset. He likes the sector in general. (Analysts’ price target is $70.73)

MRU-T vs. EMP.A-T. Metro has been his favourite grocery stock for 15 years. Grocery are the stay-at-home stocks but as we exit the pandemic this is not where you want to be. Don’t buy until the rotation is completed.
