Weekly 52-Week Low (or 52-Week High): MU-Q, LNR-T, ILLM-T, IMP-T and More 52-Week Highs and Lows (Jun 03-09)

Opinion about AAPL-Q: It reported last week blow-out iPhone sales and great numbers from China. They guided strong gross margins this quarter. After being flat, shares have risen 8.45% since. It helps that they're not spending a ton on building data centres simply by partnering with Google Gemini.

Opinion about AMD-Q: Challenging couple of years, recently took off (mostly because of the OpenAI deal). Before that, the 200-day MA was falling. 46x forward PE for ~30% growth (which has really taken off). Many analysts have raised estimates.He owns NVDA instead. It's cheaper, and he likes it more.

Opinion about AVGO-Q: Let's look at the 1-year chart -- you can see the peak, a selloff, and now it's drifting. We've had a break, but what's more important is that it's gone below $350 and hasn't gone back above. Technically, that's a problem. We've seen this in other AI stocks. If the supportive lows…

Opinion about BB-T: The stock has stabilized and their software is now being used in cars. Wants to see more sustainable growth to make a decision.

Opinion about MU-Q: In the last quarter, the company reported 4.78 USD per share, beating the 3.96 USD estimate by 20.67%. Revenue for the same period reached 13.64 B USD, despite the estimate of 12.91 B USD. For the next quarter, analysts expect 8.67 USD in earnings per share and 19.01 B USD in revenue.…

Opinion about ALA.TO: (A Top Pick Feb 07/25, Up 19%) (Note the short timeframe.) Plays right into the gas theme. Exciting part is the Washington Gas…

Opinion about ARX-T: Deal means roughly $8 a share in cash, rest as pro-rated SHEL shares. If you own ARX in a registered account, your capital gain is not taxed. If you own it in a taxable account, you'll be dealing with any consequences in March 2027.You'll have to look at the cost base on…

Opinion about CFW-T: Oilfield services firm that has big fracturing technology presence. Horizontal drilling and shale boom not as strong. Very dependent on energy prices. Lots of assets that must be carried on the books. Not investing at this time. 

Opinion about CVVY.TO: Low-decline natural gas assets and 3 processing facilities. Splits product into normal nat gas, sour nat gas, and sulpher (10%…

Opinion about FEC-T: (A Top Pick Jun 15/23, Down 16.7%)Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with FEC has triggered its stop at $10.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 18%, when combined with previous recommendations. 

Opinion about KEL-T: Has deep assets, which they won't sell for 9-12 months, as they add others. He can't own every midcap, though this is good.

Opinion about MATR.TO: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The last quarter was a bit mixed, and thus the stock has…

Opinion about RBY-T: Doesn't believe in quality of assets. Company too new to determine whether a good investment. Good management, but not buying shares. Exploration oriented company.

Opinion about SGY.TO: Trading at discount to NAV. Out of favor small cap name. TMX completion will benefit company. Benefiting from fish bone…

Opinion about TVE.TO: He owned it in the past but not now. They buy a field and enhance the recovery. It is ramping up production and cash flow. Has…

Opinion about WCP.TO: For TFSA? Doesn't own, but likes it and respects management. Probably a great addition to a TFSA. Nice dividend. Diversified.…

Opinion about ATZ-T: He'd loaded up, but trimmed yesterday to bring the position back in line. Still loves the outlook for the stock, one of his major weightings. US expansion going extremely well, lots of runway. Price target in 2-3 years might be $75-85. If $75, don't buy now. If $85, could buy a bit…

Opinion about DBO.TO: He is a fan of this. They have a lot of contracts with companies like Cineplex (CGX-T). They are slowly adding their motion…

Opinion about QBR.B.TO: Telus and QBR.B are the 2 best stocks to own in the space. Telus will gush free cashflow, as it's beyond big capex cycle, low…

Opinion about BDGI-T: He owned it for 5 minutes last spring. They had a great business plan, making money and were well-financed. But this year blew that out of the water. Things changed so fast because of Covid. This shot up so quickly that he sold it. Russel Metals has better value now.

Opinion about BDT.TO: Recent addition into portfolio. Stock not as cyclical as perceived. Backlog of work projects very good. Work and revenue is…

Opinion about CNR-T: CNR vs. CP He'd put $$ in CP for now. Generally, they move in the same direction. CP is more in the driver's seat now, realizing synergies from the KSU acquisition. CNR isn't catalyst-rich for an investment thesis at this point.Prefers UNP.

Opinion about CP-T: Network is unrivalled, especially with the KSU acquisition. Still in early stages of those cost synergies. Only network that spans Canada, US, and Mexico. Strong business, strong executional track record. Well positioned going forward. Yield is 0.80%. (Analysts’ price target is $120.02)

Opinion about DRX-T: It is an industrial engineering company. The stock ramped way up and fell right back down to an attractive multiple. The stock is not where it should be considering the fundamentals, valuation and growth potential. It is riskier and cyclical.

Opinion about EIF-T: Continues to work. In the sweet spot. The analyst covering it likes it, as does Javed. Technicals look good, though it's a bit extended. Does a lot of unique things, especially Arctic surveillance for Canada. More upside. Most compelling is that it's in the industrial wheelhouse, one of the leadership areas in…

Opinion about FTT-T: Distributes Caterpillar products. Great run, stable stock. Could be a HALO company. Lots of uncertainty in Canada around infrastructure and energy.He'd rather own CAT. This one's more an actual HALO.

Opinion about LNR-T: (A Top Pick Apr 17/25, Up 85%) Still a great opportunity. Still maintains his core position. He rebalances positions as weighting drops or increases.

Opinion about MAL-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings demonstrated growing cash reserves, while debt was retired and shares bought back.  Purchasers of their airplane components have large backlog orders from 2025 leftover and spending on defense aviation is expected to grow.  We recommend trailing up…

Opinion about MG.TO: 88-year old investor -- sell, and buy a bank instead? Not an unreasonable time to sell, given the economic sensitivity of the…

Opinion about MRE.TO: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this diversified supplier of automotive motor blocks and…

Opinion about MTL.TO: Benefiting from consumer spending. In a good pricing environment, pushing margins up. Less-than-truckload, warehousing, and…

Opinion about RUS-T: (A Top Pick Dec 13/19, Up 6%) A steady business. It's a volume business. It's ridden through Covid with confidence and is set up very well to supply steel to the US in the coming 6 months. There'll be a surge in steel demand.

Opinion about TFII-T: (A Top Pick Sep 16/25, Up 42%) (Note the short timeframe.)  Organic improvements plus coming out of freight recession. He just sold his position to deploy proceeds elsewhere. (Industry's still improving, so perhaps he sold too early.)

Opinion about WEF-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research WEF has rallied with interest rates, which help the sector, but is still down 26% for the year and 37% over 52 weeks. Note the dividend was cancelled in November 2023 and none is paid currently. This week WEF announced it would…

Opinion about SECU.V: They do physical and cybersecurity. A very small-cap, early-stage company. If they execute in the next 2-3 years, they will be great.

Opinion about ACO.X-T: Logistics, with main asset being CU. Strong presence in Alberta, Neltume Ports in South America, commercial real estate. Its ubiquitous tin sheds may have a use in modular housing. Recent 40% stake in building a 230-km road north of Yellowknife and establishing a port. We're finally waking up to the fact that our…

Opinion about BEP.UN-T: A good name to tap into powering the grid, electrification, and so on. Contracted cashflows, able to recycle capital into new projects in a world that's looking for more wattage.

Opinion about CU-T: He owns and would add to his holdings. There has been a nice uptrend with a bit of a pause, and a good dividend. It could weather a storm and if we see 2022 again, stocks like these as part of a basket have performed fairly well.Buy 1  Hold 6  Sell 1…

Opinion about SPB.TO: Dividend sustainable? Valuation probably attractive enough to add now as a value play. Seasonally, expects demand to improve.…

Opinion about BMO.TO: Strategy: Sell a call in the money for a stock that's going ex-dividend. After that date, share price will go down. So the call…

Opinion about BNS-T: All banks are expected to report good numbers this week. BNS has jumped from $65 to $96. Is the turnarounds story in Canadian banks. Trades at 13x PE. The plans by the new CEO are starting to work. Likes it here. Pays a 4.5% dividend, higher than peers.

Opinion about CF-T: Management wants to buy it out but there are two conflicting groups of shareholders. The employee shareholders want the lowest price possible while the outsider shareholders want the highest price possible. This type of conflict is not good. Value it as a whole, not on the split-up of parts.

Opinion about DFN.TO: They take bank stocks, or insurance and in some case energy companies, and then they split it internally into preferred shares…

Opinion about DGS-T: A vehicle where they split out appreciating assets from the dividend. They pay the dividend stream of income to another holder, and you get a leveraged play on the dividend stocks without the dividend. Not a very good idea to own one of these in a down market. When you think markets…

Opinion about DHT.UN.TO: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The royalty focus and the sector is interesting.…

Opinion about FFN-T: Leverage allows them to provide such a large dividend. Typically 2:1 leverage, so you get double the bang for the buck. Lots of volatility, big ups and big downs. When markets are working, work great. Up to the board of the fund as to what distribution they pay out.Over 20 years, you'd…

Opinion about GRT.UN-T: High-quality. 25% is leased to auto-part maker MG. Great job navigating tariff noise, geopolitics, and inflation. Warehouse activity had really slowed, but leasing now bouncing back. Now trying to orient its portfolio to Tier 1 markets. Midpoint of its valuation range. You'll do well riding out warehouse recovery into 2027.

Opinion about GWO.TO: All the insurance names, both in Canada and the US, continue to work. If interest rates do, in fact, go higher, that will only…

Opinion about IGM-T: (A Top Pick Mar 06/25, Up 43.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with IGM has triggered its stop at $63.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 63%.  

Opinion about ISC.TO: Located in Saskatchewan with a monopoly for land and property registration for the next 17 years. Trading at about 9.5X EBITDA.…

Opinion about LBS.TO: Very focused. Have positions in 4 life insurers and they are running a covered call program against the existing long…

Opinion about PIC.A-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research PIC.A is a split share corp that invests in stocks of companies operating in the banking sector, primarily the six Canadian banks. The fund also uses financial derivatives, such as a covered call writing strategy, to enhance income generated by the portfolio…

Opinion about POW.TO: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research It is hard to ignore the strong momentum shares of POW…

Opinion about REI.UN-T: Distribution very safe due to proactive cutting during pandemic. Achievable net operating growth of 3%, last quarter was 3.7%. Despite rising rates, with population growth, limited new supply, and limited retail bankruptcies, setup generally good for shopping centres in Canada. In a good spot.

Opinion about RY.TO: Canadian banking sector. Outlook is favourable. He owns BMO, RY, and TD. All 3 had good earnings, with TD probably the best. But…

Opinion about SGR.UN-T: Likes it. Their assets are all US--Indiana, Illinois--and centered on groceries. The 9% yield is safe. Leverage isn't high. Trades at a 15% discount to NAV. Good growth ahead, at least six months. Problem is few follow this, because it's small. High rent-collection rate.

Opinion about SLF-T: Their last quarter was penalized due to some stop-loss insurance on their books and a small impairment from an investment in Vietnam and softer flows at MSF, their US investment arm. Is now in a range worth buying. This and MFC remain core holdings of his. It yields a safe 4.13% (Analysts’…

Opinion about SRU.UN-T: Likes real estate in general, sector will benefit from lower interest rates. In particular, likes those that are building their businesses; not the ones that are just collecting rents, paying dividends, and going sideways. A good business run by good people. 

Opinion about TD.TO: Kudos to management. Financials did very well last year, and TD recovered along with them. Trading at high end of valuation…

Opinion about FM.TO: There comes a downside point when you have to decide whether to sell it all or, if your conviction is still there, to double up.…

Opinion about TVI-X: Operating in jurisdictions where there are political and/or terrorist risks. Trading on fairly good volume. Small market cap. Too many shares outstanding. Had losses in 10 quarters of reporting.

Opinion about GUD-T: The superstar CEO with a great track record raised a pile of cash, but didn't do anything with it. He had a short position on this 6 months ago, and covered that recently. GUD has poor price momentum, though little volatility, and no real earnings. PE is high, though a strong balance…

Opinion about LLY: Very resilient name, especially compared to peers such as NVO. Global pharma leader -- obesity, diabetes, oncology, neuroscience.…

Opinion about UNH-N: Pretty optimistic on it. Recent moves down have more to do with some of its competitors than UNH itself. As a whole, insurance industry not as good as it used to be. But that doesn't mean that this stock in the $300s is priced correctly for the next 5 years. Costs have started…

Opinion about ALYA-T: Just went public in June. Plays into same space as CGI. Small minnow in big pond, but very smart. Built business on acquisitions. Interesting, because they're picking out smaller and mid-size, and they have a long runway.

Opinion about DND.TO: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research We think DND is quite cheap given the quality of the…

Opinion about ILLM-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Acuity Ads Holdings Inc (AT) stock was up 25.49% in the month but down 46.22% YTD. Its stock price rose precipitously to more than $32 in February 2021 and had fallen to over $4 at the beginning of 2022 and by November 4th…

Opinion about CBLU.V: Light stands for solar driven lights. The real opportunity is in Africa. It is a relatively illiquid stock.

Opinion about ZOMD.V: Communication device for doctors relaying prescriptions to the pharmacy. Not in his database. Big installed base in Quebec and…

Opinion about ATRL.TO: Well diversified geographically in Canada and beyond and in end markets. Strong balance sheet, but profits are below the…

Opinion about IMP-T: At the top of his watch list. A new CEO revamped sales and product strategy. On its way to high recurring revenues. A small company though.

Opinion about MCB-T: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy's most-liked answers from 5i Research. A dividend suspension should certainly be viewed negatively. "Temporary" pauses have been known to last several years. EPS of 24c beat the 10c estimate, and revenue of $25.6M topped the $22.6M forecast. EBITDA of $6.5M came in 33% above expectations. MCB is…

Opinion about WSP.TO: Tremendous job over the years, good organic growth. Big fan of the CEO. More room to keep growing and keep making accretive…

Opinion about MA: Yesterday off by 5.5%, and that's continuing today. Pretty big reversal from high of around $591. See how it plays out. Volume on…

Opinion about TVK.TO: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The strength is a bit surprising considering financial…

Opinion about ABR: Thinks the Cdn$ is going to strengthen and could go up to $.80. Depending on the nature of this market that we get, it could go a…

Opinion about LGO.TO: Has a deposit in Brazil very close to production. Continues to be challenged here. You have to hang in with this one. Small cap…

Opinion about MPVD.TO: This is not the first bear market he has seen. This is the next new big mine. Diamonds have been going thought a bit of a dry…

Opinion about TRO.V: A lot of people are down on this name including Rio Tinto who is the driver of this story with 50%. The Mongolian government is…

Opinion about PHA.V: They are like an Uber for healthcare staff: allows hospitals to quickly hiring nurses for hospitals, and PHA transports patients…

Opinion about LULU: Great business and products. Hot new competition in the space, so they no longer control it. And that's a reason not to buy. For…
