This week’s new 52-week highs and lows… (Jan 9-15)

(A Top Pick Feb 01/22, Up 12%) Well-run and positioned to offer e-charging stations given all their stations and locations. Well-financed. Still has a little more upside.

Turned around Safeway acquisition. Inflation has helped food pricing. Canadian population growth. All the grocery chains own the best locations. Underperformed this year. Valuation much more attractive. Has always logged Loblaw, perhaps because EMP.A has a more confusing structure.

Take profits? Very few competitors, and those types of names tend to perform well long-term. Largest grocery retailer, so procures good prices and controls distribution. Shoppers Drug Mart provide lots of earnings. Loyalty programs doing well. As a consumer staple, won't participate with more cyclical names. Defensive part of your portfolio. If you're up nicely,…

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The quarter is a big relief for worried investors. EPS of 83c beat estimates of 68c. Sales of $618M beat estimates by 2%. EBITDA of $83.3M beat estimates of $73.1M. Sales rose 6.8% with comp. sales up 4.7%. Profit rose 17%. EBITDA rose 15% year…

He sold this a while ago and has now added it back. As a defensive stock it is one of the better plays over the next one or two years.. It has done a good job of re-vamping its stores and most of its capital spending is done.     Buy 1  Hold 10  Sell 0…

Large business across North American.Good play on infrastructure investment throughout North America.Does not own shares at this time.Prefers other names in sector.Prefers other names with electrification exposure.

(A Top Pick July 3/15. Down 43.04%.) Sold his holdings at around $5.50, and lost money. Their business continues to grow, and this is one that he continues to watch. There is lots of promise here.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. DPM is now trading at 7.0x times' Forward P/E. In the 4Q, DPM’s revenue declined -8% to $152.9M, compared to last year of $166.4M and EPS wass $0.24, beating estimates of $0.20. The balance sheet is strong, with net cash of $419M. Trailing twelve-month cash flow…

Intrigued with company and people. Does not own stock in company. Good, but not a great company to own.

Has no current plans to own this. Has a high regard for management, but his suspicion is that their cost of capital is too low. He sees them having a very difficult time thriving in the next 18 months. There are much better names out there.

Excellent management team with proven results.Current production slightly discounted by market.Current share price highly discounted relative to NPV of assets on a per share basis. Expecting share price appreciation, or takeover.

One of the most senior producers of silver. Silver is better than gold, as the bulk of silver production comes from copper mines. Silver just crossed $24, and there's lots of upside. SSRM has a $28 price target. He wants something that will benefit once inflation is realized.

They make frack sand; not a commonly covered stock. Trades at 15x earnings. The 2021 outlook is much better, supported by strong demand. A good opportunity.

GRT.UN vs. CAR.UN Both are quality. Likes both sectors. Likes both, but if he had to choose, he'd pick GRT.UN.In Quebec and BC, but CAR.UN is mainly a play on Toronto, a fantastic multi-family market, but there is rent control. Great supply/demand fundamentals, but hard to get the cashflow. Outperformed peers, so pullback is understandable.Industrial…

(A Top Pick Sep 28/22, Up 45%) Got taken out. Traded at a 25% discount in a sector that was in high demand.

(A Top Pick Mar 21/23, Up 0.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with HR.UN has triggered its stop at $11.50.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 9%, when combined with the previous buy recommendation.

A portfolio of US properties. It also has some interesting properties around the DVP area in Toronto. The CEO is one of the few people that not only knows how to buy, but also how to sell. Thinks that at some point, he will sell the entire company if he can, or bit by bit.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Units are quite cheap at 11X cash flow, and generally we like it for income. Very little growth is expected, and of course inflation/rates impact it, and the retail sector is somewhat under siege right now. Payout ratio is high at 93%, but did drop…

Stock vs. Stock. FIE-T vs. CMR-T. CMR-T is a money market fund. FIE-T is a multi holding income strategy holding all kinds of assets, so there will be more volatility. When markets are up go into CMR-T and FIE-T when they are down.

Basically it's an ETF version of a mutual fund. All fixed-income and pays a yield over 3%. You can park money here until you figure what to invest in next.

(A Top Pick Jan 09/23, Up 3%) Strategy was to hold cash as interest rates were rising. Zero risk asset.

1-5 year Laddered ETF. This will have a pretty short duration so will probably give you in the 2.5% range. It will suffer too much from rising interest rates. Not a bad place to park for a while.

Corporate bonds that are maturing in a year or less. Total returns including yield equates to a healthy return. Good defensive name for investors.

(A Top Pick Dec 04/18, Up 2%) Safety play. A place to park cash. Never touches a GIC, because they're not liquid.

Nothing wrong with this ETF at all. 5 to 6 year durations because they are mid-cap corps.

In a rising rate environment, you might want to stick to a shorter term. ZCS is a short-term, corporate, investment-grade ETF. Had drawdowns, but not as bad as a typical aggregate bond or high-yield ETF.

He targets $47 or 13% lower. It yields 3.7% that they can cover. But the market isn't excited, plus this is sensitive to interest rates. It's only slightly better than BCE. Maybe it's interesting at $41.

Good value, whole sector's been in a funk. Got a good price for Freedom Mobile. Good operators. Better growth potential, as they can now operate outside of Quebec. Wants to see capex plans for Western expansion before adding to his position.

It comes down to the Rogers deal, which the street thinks will happen, but this is the fourth deadline extension. The deal has been priced into shares, so there isn't much upside. Better to buy Rogers or Telus than Shaw.

Has pulled back a lot. It holds US medical property. It has suffered inflationary pressures, but will diminish in 2023 and the stock will recover. Don't sell it in the current Dutch auction.

Rather bad couple of days. Was down substantially, outside of a range. Consolidated. It broke down and is more likely to go down. $1.50 on the downside.

Good producer. He owns the preferred shares. His favourites in the space include AQN, FTS, and BIP.UN. Nothing wrong with INE. Focus is more wind-focused, so growth profile is not as diversified. Balance sheet is not as strong.

They generate electivity and sell it. As we move in this direction this company will have a foothold and niche. It is a capital intensive business and interest rates rising will be a problem.

Higher interest rates have been a headwind. Likes the yield on ENB (over 7%) and PPL (6.5%).

The business allows a USB device to reach into a database. Many of the clients were US military and security agencies. A recent acquisition gives them good forward prospects.

Prefers Melcor Developments (MRD-T). When there have been housing difficulty like there has been, it’s extremely difficult for stocks like these.

If economic activity is ramping up, this is a place you want to be, but that's not what the market is telling you. Wait till the dust settles; you'll give up some return, but you'll gain stability if there's a downturn. Generates strong earnings in a strong economic cycle.

He covers the stock and owns it. The business is doing well. They are a leader in their space. There was a big investor out of China that fell on hard times and has had to sell shares. It may be poised for a turnaround.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. They have been growing their top-line quickly over the last quarters. Net profit margins are improving. Although debt is quite elevated, they have cash balances and equity positions that are decent. Valuation is cheap and future growth estimates are good.A smaller size so could see…

Listed in Canada but operations are in the far east. Is cautious because of high debt and accounting is weird. If you are betting gold will go a lot higher it is a pretty decent bet but if not it can decline a lot.

In Western Africa, this miner is looking for funding. It is not the exciting part of the cycle as they are in the de-risking mode. Investors are looking for projects that double resources. Institutional investors are not yet stepping in the space.

They have a project in Alaska. The grade looks nice, but isn't completely sold.

Has an old mine outside of Los Angeles that was run in the 1930s. Closed down during the Second World War and they are doing open pit mining in the area. Has some issues, but at these gold prices, it will probably start to work again. Under followed. Highly speculative.

Been a nice success story. His opinion is that the commodity cycle has really played out here.

Its BC nickel play. Doesn't like GGI. Last year this was a darling stock, but their drill holes haven't impressed him.

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.

Cameras on satellites. Feels they’ve made a lot of progress in the right direction. Management is working hard and there is now more clarity. We may see some positive free cash flow one day. At this point, it is starting to become interesting, although clearly there are still a lot of unclear questions.

They haven't won many contracts lately. They had signed a deal with Rogers to make them look like Apple TV and more user-friendly, but lost that contract, then signed a few new contracts, but those revenues haven't come to fruition. He still holds it thought it's been going down. There's lot of cash on the…

He stayed away because they went to the states to make acquisitions. He did not know why the Americans would not already take these assets. He stays away from it.

He would like to see a couple of good quarters out from them. It is thinly traded. You have to be prepared to watch it quarter by quarter.
