Air Canada (AC-T)
Air Canada (AC-T) — Stockchase
Air Canada (AC-T) — Stockchase

As the economy reopenings, the airline will rebound. The Air Transat buy gives them more market share. You can male 50-60%. If Ottawa gives AC assistance, AC should refund passenger fares (he knows people who are unhappy with AC and are waiting). He doesn't see ill will from the non-refunds; people always hate Air Canada.…

Eastman Chemical (EMN-N)
Eastman Chemical  (EMN-N) — Stockchase

Aecon Group Inc (ARE-T)
Aecon Group Inc (ARE-T) — Stockchase

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…

Magna Int’l. (A) (MG-T)
Magna Int'l. (A) (MG-T) — Stockchase
Magna Int'l. (A) (MG-T) — Stockchase

The question is whether oil is cheap or not. How widespread will the adoption of EVs be? Caveat is that governments will have to spend on infrastructure. All car companies are talking about growing EV opportunities, and their valuations are very cheap. Longer duration trade in car companies themselves, though a bit riskier, than with…

👨‍⚕️ Healthcare

Hologic (HOLX-Q)

Hologic (HOLX-Q) — Stockchase
Hologic (HOLX-Q) — Stockchase

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly HOLX manufactures medical equipment and diagnostic devices including COVID-19 test kits. Sales were recently reported up almost 90% and management guidance calls for revenue to double over the year to over $1.5 billion. Trading at 11x earnings, it is good value here.

Zoetis Inc (ZTS-N)
Zoetis Inc (ZTS-N) — Stockchase
Zoetis Inc (ZTS-N) — Stockchase

Animal care plus livestock. Livestock is not growing as quickly as last year, but will as protein consumption grows in developing countries. Pet business really strong this year.

🛍 Consumer

Costco Wholesale (COST-Q)

Costco Wholesale (COST-Q) — Stockchase
Costco Wholesale (COST-Q) — Stockchase

Yesterday, COST reported a mixed quarter despite 15% sales growth. The valuation is ridiculously cheap now, but current market turbulence doesn't matter as investors bail on stocks like this. Costco is good for the long term, though. Keep buying as this falls.

Lordstown Motors Corp. (RIDE-Q)
Lordstown Motors Corp. (RIDE-Q) — Stockchase
Lordstown Motors Corp. (RIDE-Q) — Stockchase

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly RIDE has the early lead in bringing the world's first all electric commercial pickup truck to market -- targeting September 2021 for the rollout. With only four moving parts and 95% more efficient than traditional engines, it can be a real disruptor in the space. The stock was recently hurt…

Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ-N) — Stockchase

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Last October we identified DPZ as a BUY ON WEAKNESS candidate if it traded back down towards $345.

Nike Inc (NKE-N) — Stockchase
Nike Inc (NKE-N) — Stockchase

Is getting hammered in the current rotation out of 2020's winners (e-commerce retailers like this) and into reopening plays (travel, hotels).

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

They continue to drive e-commerce delivery. Their cloud business is growing even faster. Both are highly profitable and growing. Cash flow will rise in the next two years. The target price is $1,000 higher than the current shares. (Analysts’ price target is $4051.63)

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Comcast Corp (CMCSA-Q)
Comcast Corp (CMCSA-Q) — Stockchase
Comcast Corp (CMCSA-Q) — Stockchase

There's been dislocation in US telecoms with mergers and 5G coming in, but Comcast continues to win market share from traditional telecoms. This trend should continue and feed cash flow. Their TV content through NBC and Sky should enjoy ad recovery this year while their theme parks and film operations should benefit from the reopening.…

🏛 Financials

Power Corp (POW-T)

Power Corp (POW-T) — Stockchase
Power Corp (POW-T) — Stockchase

Suncor Energy Inc (SU-T) — Stockchase

Has lagged CNQ and other companies due to them cutting dividends. Likes it for the long reserve life of lower-cost oil sands that is run well. The downstream integration is very good. The financial strength of the company makes it better than mid-sized or smaller producers.

Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU-T)
Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU-T) — Stockchase
Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU-T) — Stockchase

The price of oil has moved up a lot since November. It could possibly go as high as $100. Mainly a western Canadian oil company. Well completion cost is 40-50% less than their competitors. Dividend of 2% that is expected to grow. Management is bullish with $850M of free cashflow. Sales are up 19%. 3.6x…

💹 ETF

BMO Equal Weight Bank ETF (ZEB-T)

BMO Equal Weight Bank ETF (ZEB-T) — Stockchase
BMO Equal Weight Bank ETF (ZEB-T) — Stockchase

Canadian banks have performed really well recently. A lot has to do with rising interest rates. Canadian banks are unique. They are an oligopoly. If the market slips a bit here, Canadian banks can perform well.
