🛍 Consumer
Opinion about BKNG-Q: (Chart looks like a double-black-diamond ski slope because of the stock split of 25:1.) New addition to Dividend Growers portfolio in March. Global, best in class.

Opinion about SYK-N: (A Top Pick Sep 11/23, Up 21%) 73% of their business comes from the U.S. with the rest from Europe and emerging markets. They make great surgical products (i.e. hip replacements). Also, surgeons are loyal to SYK products and rarely change brand. Aging demographics and foreign markets offer growth.

Stockchase 
Opinion about OVV-T: 10-15 years of drilling inventory in the Permian -- fine, but not great. It's more about the Montney exposure. Got a great price on NVA last year. Increased size should attract more institutional interest. Could see further M&A in the Montney this year. At $80 oil, trading at 4x cashflow for 2026 and…

Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL.TO)
Opinion about PPL-T: Really likes it. If you have a bit higher risk tolerance, you get a lot more upside. Yield is similar to that of ENB, but with a lot more growth. LNG project will come online in BC in 3-4 years. Potential META power centre. Play on the still very strong outlook of…

stockchase.com 
Opinion about CAT-N: If you think there's going to be a mining cycle, it's a given that this name will sell a lot of equipment. People are underestimating its big turbine business -- natural gas turbine generators that are smaller than utility-grade generators. This part of the business feeds right into the data centre buildout. Can…
stockchase.com 🏛 Financials
Opinion about KKR-N: One of the largest private equity firms in the world, a troubled sector these days. But redemption requests at KKR are very low.
