Weekly 52-Week Low (or 52-Week High): LBS-T, WDO-T, ESE-X, ARU-X and More 52-Week Highs and Lows (Jun 04-10)

Opinion about BTB.UN-T: Most exposure is in Quebec. Lots of office space exposure. But could see a business turnaround. Would recommend buying and holding. 

Opinion about BK-T: Only downside is the fee. Just like an ETF, there are more holdings in the wrapper. For a small account, it makes sense. For a larger account, just buy the banks individually. You have to read the prospectus to see what the fee level is to see if it's worth it for…

Opinion about CRT.UN-T: Similar to grocery-anchored. Suite of tenants connected to Canadian Tire. Very well structured with nice little increases in rent over time along with inflation. Really likes it. Very stable. With tariffs, he suspects that more of us will shop Canadian brands to support our Canadian economy.

Opinion about DFN-T: Uses leverage. Pays lots of yield. Highly volatile. Can be risky depending on markets.

Opinion about DGS-T: Very concentrated stock portfolio, leverage of 2:1. Pays out a lot in income. A bit of smoke and mirrors here, but not in a nefarious way. Twice as volatile in general as underlying markets. When things are good, they're really really good. And when things are bad, they're really really bad.If you're…

Opinion about DIV-T: Royalty models do better in bear markets. Costs are nil, so it's a stable business. Well run. Mr. Lube over time has taken market share. Stock's pretty illiquid, make sure it's covering the dividend. Hold or buy. Yield around 8%.

Opinion about EIT.UN-T: It is a basket of common stocks including big U.S. companies. He is not sure about it but it is doing well for the caller. Income is the focus.

Opinion about FC-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research FC is a relatively small mortgage lender. The stock is cheap at 10X earnings, and it mostly trades for its 9.4% yield. The dividend has not been raised for at least 10 years, but it does pay fairly regular small special dividends…

Opinion about LBS-T: LBS vs. FTN An interesting structure, but they have their own at his shop. One is a play on ENB. Very optimistic about the potential for ENB to continue raising its dividend. He also has a real estate split with a mix of long-term value REITs and industrial exposure to access the…

Opinion about PIC.A-T: This fund has 5 banks, and they split the capital shares, and the preferreds represent the dividends. A very good income producing pick, because it is about a 6% yield. If you think banks are going to continue to go up, which he does, you will continue to get a high dividend.

Opinion about SII-T: Most investors need some help investing in natural resources. Sprott is a brand name for natural resources, in physical trusts and in equities management. You get the same diversification as a mutual fund, except they pay you a dividend instead of you paying them a fee. That's pretty good math 😉  Yield…

Opinion about SLF-T: Insurance is the space to be, but is this the one to buy? Had some challenges with US side, though beat recently and trends are starting to be more encouraging. Really nice dividend. 9.5% growth rate, trading at 10.5x PE for 2026.If you own it, hold. But for new $$, he'd prefer…

Opinion about TD-T: Although it is a great operation, wait for a pullback. There is a potential slowdown and job losses. Also we're getting to the season where banks typically don't do well and many mortgages will be maturing.

Opinion about ANRG-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The restructuring brought in $40.8M, but now one investment entity owns 60% of the company. It gives the company money to survive, but it may be a while before it prospers. Of course, issuing 102 million new shares (at least, with 20…

Opinion about ATRL-T: Very strong portfolio of engineering and design and consulting. Plays into infrastructure, energy, and environment. Focus on nuclear will be important, with 15% of revenue coming from there. If Hwy 407 were sold at a good price, would be a catalyst to create value (but he wouldn't buy something just because there…

Opinion about EIF-T: Extremely well managed. Trying to buy a company in Australia that does search & rescue there. Likes it, in his income fund. Profitable businesses that are protected, with opportunities to grow.

Opinion about FTG-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research FTG is a small ($230M market cap) global supplier of aerospace and defense electronic products and subsystems. It operates through 'FTG Circuits' (high-tech circuit boards for aviation, defense, and high-tech customers), and 'FTG Aerospace' (designs and manufactures illuminated cockpit products and electronic…

Opinion about FTT-T: (A Top Pick Apr 12/24, Up 22%) Correlated with copper, and it set up nicely with where we were in the business cycle. Big breakout over the last 2 months. Good-looking chart with higher highs and lows. Sees further upside into August.

Opinion about MAL-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The stock is cheap, and acting better. The sector (in the US, mostly) has been seeing some good numbers recently. It hit a 52-week high this week. We think it can be held, and >$10 is possible, even $12 under good conditions.…

Opinion about MCB-T: A week or two ago, stock popped on excitement over a new product that will lead to some recurring revenue, cut costs, and improve safety. 2025 will be a good year, but product is still being tested and rolled out. Pivotal year will be 2026. Trades at only 6x PE, profitable, great…

Opinion about VNP-T: Based in Montreal. Supply specialty semiconductors and performance materials. Customers such as a manufacturer of solar panels. FSLR in the US, one of VNP's biggest customer, guided down. Stock dipped. Need to get a handle on tariff impact. Not growthy enough for him.

Opinion about AG-N: A fan, but doesn't own. Recent acquisition will help use free cashflow against tax-loss carryforwards. Won't buy until he sees resolution of issue at Jerritt Canyon. Big fan of CEO and track record.

Opinion about ASM-T: Challenges with cartels in Mexico.Long history of development in Province.Socialist orientation of Mexican President a worry.Does not own shares at this time.Concerned about inventory & reserves.Drilling results have been fairly strong.Would prefer companies with larger reserves.

Opinion about CCO-T: The whole nuclear energy theme has really jumped back into the spotlight. No matter what happens with tariffs and other things, we know that there will be expanded (perhaps exponential) demand for energy. Some of that will come from natural gas, and some from nuclear.A new position for him. Good, and getting…

Opinion about ELR-T: Shut down production recently. This type of situation is what usually happens at the bottom of a cycle, although this one may not be around to enjoy the upside of the cycle.

Opinion about FF-T: (Market Call Minute.) Great execution with a $500 million market cap. Thinks it is ahead of itself. It is expensive.

Opinion about GENM-T: A palladium-copper developer in northwestern Ontario. Rates of return are just below 30%. This will be hard to finance, though they scored funding from Export Development Canada. Can they get equity financing. That's the key question.

Opinion about III-T: Will respond to copper prices if those prices move up. Tier 2 assets. Impressed with financial backing of the company. Not considering buying.

Opinion about KNT-T: (A Top Pick May 01/25, Up 32.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with KNT has reached its target at $16.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $9.50) to $13.50.  

Opinion about MAG-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research We think MAG fits the bill. Its Mexican (safe) mine only recently went into production, and 2024 will be the first year of material revenue/cash flow for the company. The stock is acting well this year as it gets re-rated as a…

Opinion about LUG-T: Highly ranked stock acting extremely well. RSI doing well. Stock's currently in an uptrend, and gold is trending upward. Gold is consolidating around $3000. 

Opinion about NGD-T: Collection of Tier 2 assets. Never been fond of Ontario assets. He likes higher quality. Could do very well with a rising price for gold, which tends to favour the marginal over the lower-cost producer.

Opinion about OGC-T: Doesn't own, but it's the kind of gold company that likely does well in next 2 years. He suspects that over the next 1-2 years, mid-cap names such as this will either do well or will be taken over. Scale matters in equity markets today; mere inclusion in indexes is good for…

Opinion about PAAS-T: Sold off aggressively after acquisition. Reasonably good job paying down debt. Guatemalan assets will probably restart in 2024. He notes that he's a close personal friend of the CEO.

Opinion about PPTA-Q: He's not comfortable with the permitting process, but Trump administration might be able to help with permits. Gold-centric, but also antimony (which the US believes is a defense metal). 

Opinion about RUP-X: Started drilling in Red Lake, Ontario. It's sometimes best for a junior not to drill as the stock can do better on the potential rather than the actual drill results. Wait for the drill results before buying.

Opinion about SSRM-T: 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.

Opinion about SVB-T: Silver Bull’s primary asset is the Sierra Mojada deposit located in Coahuila, Mexico. Sierra Mojada is an open pittable oxide deposit with a NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated “global” Mineral Resource of 70.4 million tonnes grading 3.4% zinc and 38.6 g/t silver for 5.35 billion pounds of contained zinc and 87.4…

Opinion about TKO-T: Does not own shares. Prefers companies companies with lower costs and higher return on capital. 

Opinion about TLG-T: Going to build a mine in Quebec, unless someone buys them. Veterans of the industry, with engineering and geological expertise, have joined the company. Has letters of intent for over $1.3B from export development companies, including Canada. Going through financing, which should be in place Q1 next year. Fully permitted. Probably a royalty…

Opinion about USA-T: Junior speculative. Not profitable. At the price for gold and silver today, if a company's not profitable you have to ask why. He doesn't play penny stocks, and certainly not in the junior mining area. A very challenging asset class; he learned his lesson 35 years ago.

Opinion about VZLA-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research VZLA is a relatively small company, operating as a developer of precious and base metal assets largely focused in the Panuco district in Mexico. The Panuco silver-gold project is considered one of the highest-grade silver primary discoveries in the world, with a…

Opinion about WDO-T: (A Top Pick Apr 29/25, Up 14.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WDO is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $13.50) to $16.00 at this time.

Opinion about GQC-X: He likes the deposit and the CEO. They tried to finance them but Eagle beat them. You need to be concerned about the very recent revenue grab by the government of the Dominican Republic. It will be interesting to see how this works out. A great deposit and a great management team.

Opinion about GMV-X: Thinks there is another mine in this company. This is a story that is going to unfold and he likes it.

Opinion about MJS-X: His Top Picks today are speculative and high risk and fairly illiquid, so don't use "Market Orders". Early stage in China. Very inexpensive.

Opinion about SGN-X: It's a 10 cent stock, when even the big companies aren't doing well. If you like it, sure go ahead. But there's nothing he can add.

Opinion about AAV-T: One of the worst energy names. The CEO and board did one of the word acquisitions in history. When the market wanted natural gas, they added liquids exposure. Are the worst-performing nat gas stock in North America. No upside. An activist has put members on the board.

Opinion about BIR-T: Looks as though it's trying to break out. Be aware that there was a false breakout earlier this year. So you really want to see the peak back in March or so taken out. Bases are good, and they say that "the greater the base the better the case". Pretty good base…

Opinion about NVA-T: Chart shows a pretty positive pattern of an "ascending triangle", which is a really powerful one in technical analysis. You're seeing a series of higher lows because investors continue to snap up the stock on the move higher. What you're really looking for is a breakout of the multi-year range. Rated "outperform"…

Opinion about PEY-T: Has good exposure to nat gas; he's a nat gas bull. They bought a fine company last year just as they smartly hedged natural gas. So, there's upside ahead. Pays a sustainable 6.9% dividend yield, which he expects to rise in June 2026 possibly to 8%.

Opinion about POU-T: Sold assets, which crystallized massive value. This is their forte. Some of that windfall will make its way back to shareholders. You have to believe in their vision. He sold too early.

Opinion about TNZ-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research TNZ reported Q3 EPS at $0.71 which beat analysts’ estimates of $0.007. Revenue came in below forecasts of $16.6M at $15.05M, nearly doubling year-over-year. Fund flow from operations (FFO) was $4.8M or $0.16 per diluted share versus the same period a year…

Opinion about GSI-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research GSI has shown historical growth, but has no analysts so no estimates are available. It has some cash and is cash flow positive, and has been profitable. Insiders own 14%. The stock has not done much, but it is a very small…

Opinion about CTC.A-T: Can't tell what the impact of a trade war will be; they receive a lot of Asian goods. Also, this is consumer-dependent which is a risk. They are selling Helly Hanson at a profit and will reinvest funds in tech. They're buying back shares. Not a bad business and are profitable, but…

Opinion about DBO-T: A disappointment. Pandemic has been the nail in the coffin for movie theatres and DBO's motion systems. Simulation and industrial segments have been profitable. Treading water right now. Long road ahead. Wait and see before stepping in.

Opinion about STN-T: Banner earnings report. Revenues are growing faster than analysts expected. Into environmental architectural projects, especially in Canada and US. Up 25% YTD. Long-term compound annual return would be ~15%. Right spot, right time.

Opinion about INE-T: This is how he'd play the renewable energy trade. Thinks rates will go higher next year, which makes him cautious. If that's the case for rates, a lot of the bond proxies like utilities and REITs are going to come under pressure. A bit more upside potential, but for a trade.

Opinion about ESE-X: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Has had a good start to the year. UP 19%. Expensive at 17x sales. THey made an acquisition that brought in $24M in revenues. Insiders own 31%. Moving into Europe. Remains speculative but getting interesting. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Opinion about FORA-T: (A Top Pick Jun 05/24, Up 10%) It is an interesting business at the right time. It should be up more and is one of the cheapest stocks in their coverage so be patient. It is part of the AI theme and manages 300 good quality forums. He feels it should be…

Opinion about WE-X: Follows it. Fantastic underlying financial metrics. Revenue growth is 71%. EBITDA growth of 25%. Strong balance sheet. (Analysts’ price target is $4.20)

Opinion about FAR-T: Mining services, and rapidly growing water treatment. Very well run, nice clean balance sheet. Missed a couple of quarters because junior miners reduced activity. Numbers looked flat or down. With tariff threat, he wanted his best ideas only and he sold.Now, mining activity is picking up. May have seen the trough on…

Opinion about ARU-X: (A Top Pick Aug 20/08. Up 22.3%.) Acquired by Kinross (K-T).

Opinion about ONC-T: The technicals do not look good at all – with a decline lasting over the past two months. He would not touch this one at all. A 50 day moving average would be a buy signal if it can trade back above it.

Opinion about LCX-X: A small cap with no buyers. He owns 10% of the company. The stock has been creamed, even though they did everything they promised. They could sell the company and he strongly wants that. The team has done nothing wrong, but small-cap energy in Canada is dead.
