Lyft (LYFT-Q) — Stockchase
Lyft (LYFT-Q) — Stockchase

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Ride-sharing remains unprofitable. Lyft's PE is -11.3x and its profit margin stands at -43.05% despite gross margins of almost 33%. Also, Lyft—like so many tech stocks—doesn't pay a dividend. However, Lyft has navigated the bumpy road of recovery well. It has beaten its last four quarters by wide margins, and Wall…

Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase
Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase

Canadians love Tim Hortons and their roll up the rim has become somewhat of a tradition for many. Restaurant Brands also counts Burger King and Popeyes among their brands.

Restaurant Brands International (QSR-T) — Stockchase
Restaurant Brands International (QSR-T) — Stockchase

Tim's is still restructuring. Stock looks a bit rough. 200-day MA moving down, share price down too. Oversold, with RSI below 30. Expects a short-term bounce. It will take time to get outsized returns. Wage and labour pressures. He's not interested in this name, and the industry is cautious. Nice dividend of about 4%, secure.

Amazon.com (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase
Amazon.com (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase

King of e-commerce and retail. Hints of consumer slowdown get reflected in the stock. But 70% of revenues and profits actually come from AWS, part of a secular trend to server cost-cutting and efficiency. 12-month price target of $3800. A great bargain.

A well-known dollar store that gives customers a wide variety of choice without breaking the bank. Even in times of recession, these types of stores tend to do relatively well.

Dollar General Corp. (DG-N) — Stockchase
Dollar General Corp. (DG-N) — Stockchase

The stars are lining up. Dollar General hasn't performed as well as DT, but worth looking at. DT's March 2 report was okay, but the street liked it. Price targets for DT are $165-180, so there's upside, especially with activists are involved. But D-Gen is really the hidden gem, which had a huge move a…

An aircraft maker that we recently featured on our list of Airline Stocks List. They bought the CSeries program from Bombardier last year that should create more lightweight planes.

Airbus (EADSY-OTC) — Stockchase
Airbus (EADSY-OTC) — Stockchase

Everyone is aware of Boeing's problems with the 737 Max (there's a film about this is on Netflix). The Airbus 320neo is outselling the 737. They also have a big defence business in Europe, and defence budgets are rising. This trades at 20x earning, so not cheap, but earnings will grow by 12-13% annually for…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Boeing (BA-N)
The aerospace company has been down since the 737 Max crash but they are in a duopoly and demand for transport is strong. It will not go up in the short-term but worth holding.

Boeing (BA-N) — Stockchase

He can't express the words to say just how bad Boeing is. There's only this and Airbus in this business. Down 7.53% today. Nothing is going right with this company. There are calls to fire the CEO. There remain safety issues. This stock won't go higher as long as the CEO remains. Brutal.

FedEx (FDX-N) — Stockchase
FedEx (FDX-N) — Stockchase

Has fallen 30-35% in line with the tech market and a slowing economy. Cheap price to earnings at 10x earnings, so it's something to look at. A question mark is CEO retiring, but naming his son to one of the largest divisions.
