30 Stocks Top Picks (NOV 16-22)

Opinion about HBC-T: Nicknames it Hit By A Car like its chart. HBC is all about its real estate holdings; that's the reason you own this. Doesn't know if the current rally signals a buy. Can't predict this chart. Even consider selling it.

Opinion about MHK-N: They had a great quarter, but so did Whirlpool and the market didn't pay attention. He prefers Whirlpool.

Opinion about DOL-T: Last year, even when US dollar stores were struggling, DOL was chugging ahead. Management has been a great acquirer, integrator, and operator. Not cheap. Wouldn't bet against it. Hold and be happy, until something changes.

Opinion about BRB-T: (A Top Pick Jun 18/18, Up 1%) Still likes it. It's well-run. They're growing their brands and they have a big opportunity to get into cannabis beverages which will be legal in Canada in October 2019. BRB is well-positioned for this and this market could be very large.

Opinion about GC-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Takeover offer. Pandemic hit hard. Solid assets, but re-opening slowed. Healthy balance sheet.

Opinion about FANG-Q: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research FANG is $42B market cap now, down 13% YTD and down 29% in a year, trading at 10.4X earnings with a 2.80% dividend (raised 11% in February). The balance sheet has some debt, but not a concerning amount. The sector is no…

Opinion about PE-N: (A Top Pick Sep 01/20, Up 56.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PE has resulted in the company being acquired by Pioneer Natural Resources. We are considering the position now closed at the last market closing price of $16.93. Combined with the previous recommendation to cover 50%, the…

Opinion about BTE-T: (A Top Pick May 23/24, Down 48%) It's down because of the fall in oil prices, pure and simple. He sold this around $4. The stock will excel if oil returns to $70+, but not at $60. He will revisit this at better oil prices later.

Opinion about VET-T: It went international, at least partially, but there is lots of opportunity in Canada. Also international valuations are lower. Return on Capital is lower than what he looks at. He would consider Logan instead.

Opinion about SGY-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research SGY is quite small at $510M, but the stock is very cheap. With a 10% dividend, a buyer (or privatization) could eliminate the dividend and use internal cash flow to pay for the whole company in about three years. But, that doesn't…

Opinion about CPG-T: Great company. Looking at the chart, big wall of resistance it just couldn't get through. Then it broke out. If you own it, hold. If it pulls back to the neckline, he'd be all over it.

Opinion about TRP-T: He owned it for a while. Had a big run-up last year but thinks it is pretty much done now with a lot of insider selling. Tends to have big swings.

Opinion about ENB-T: If the leading sectors in the market are those that would benefit from a more inflationary environment (financials, materials, industrials, some energy), and they are, you want to look at the groups that are not. Things that act like bonds (utilities, staples, REITs, pipelines) are underperforming.It could be that people piled into…

Opinion about ISC-T: (A Top Pick Feb 19/25, Up 20%) (Note the short timeframe.)  Steady business. Lots of FCF, nice dividend. Good run, but still cheap.

Opinion about CME-Q: CME Group is committed to delivering new ways to manage risk and improve efficiency. Whether that means developing product solutions to empower trading strategies, expanding access to unique data insights, seamlessly connecting siloed liquidity pools, or introducing more ways to optimize the time and capital required for world-class risk management, new opportunities…

Opinion about BAM.A-T: You could buy this but it would be better to buy the parent company, Brookfield Corporation (BN) instead, for a long term hold and outlook. BN owns 75% of BAM and has a better valuation. It has had a 15% compounded return over 10 years and expects 17% in compounded earnings. Insiders…

Opinion about WIR.UN-T: (A Top Pick Jan 12/21, Up 48%) Great-managed REIT. Taken out.

Opinion about V-N: Really high quality, but quite expensive. Great performer for a decade. More and more people are using credit cards. Concerns about different crypto currencies, but so many people still use their Visa cards.

Opinion about AAPL-Q: Apple Inc. is one of the world's largest and most influential technology companies, known for its innovative products such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, and its growing ecosystem of services including Apple Music, Apple TV+, and iCloud. With a market capitalization exceeding $2 trillion, Apple has a significant presence in every…

Opinion about MSFT-Q: In a RRIF, time to trim? Giant cashflow generator. Great dividend grower, though dividend's not big. Making new highs. Winner in cloud, lots of opportunity with Copilot. Great business platforms generate fees. He does have a significant underweight in tech, only about 7%. Expensive, but proved it can execute. Large-cap growth is…

Opinion about ECL-N: Good time to buy. 

Opinion about NTR-T: Should be affected by tariffs, but it's actually not because of its Canadian and US standalone businesses. Inexpensive. Capital intensive, so the rate of return is not as high as he'd like. Agriculture seems to be working its way out of a funk.

Opinion about SYK-N: 5-year performance is 15%, creates returns on ROIC, well run, quality.

Opinion about BMY-N: Has never been this cheap. Has high hopes for their new central nervous system drug; it if doesn't work, he will sell BMY.

Opinion about BIP-N: Not really affected by tariffs. In the private equity area. Probably the fastest-growing part of the business. Will continue to be quite a hot area. He prefers BN.

Opinion about SPGI-N: (A Top Pick Jun 13/24, Up 20%) All its businesses are very profitable, with operating margins in 50% range. Recurring revenue stream from subscriptions. Great businesses, very scalable. 

Opinion about H-T: (A Top Pick Jul 12/24, Up 25%) Same as Metro a year ago, when it was poised to break out, and he wanted exposure to defensives and dividends. Price momentum was improving a year ago. A long-term hold. Is down 10% this year as portfolio manager sell defence to buy offence. This…

Opinion about T-T: Owns it just for the yield. As long as the stock doesn't go down, he doesn't expect that much from it. Should be able to clean up the business and the balance sheet, and that's happening. Seems that it can increase pricing on cell plans incrementally. Telco that's the most transparent on…

Opinion about BCE-T: It is turning around with the chart turning positive. There's a big catch-up trade to be had. The next resistance level is $42. It's the laggard among the big three telcos.
