🛍 Consumer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd (CTC-T)<\/a>
\nA great Canadian retail stock. They have integrated well their acquisitions of Mark\u2019s and SportsCheck and are a leader in the sports business in Canada. Their balance sheet is healthy and they have raised dividends. Seasonally, their period is from January to mid-April.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\tCanadian Tire Corporation Ltd (CTC-T) \u2014 Stockchase\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about CTC-T: Owns ATD instead. They just announced a strategic loyalty rewards with Tim Horton's, a big step. They beat estimates last earnings. Have a growing loyalty ecosystem, but is concerned with big ticket items and the effect of tariffs. Sees 6% upside.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T)<\/a>
\nA strong cash flow generator. They are a growth company that are still adding stores. They got hit in the December correction and have been going sideways but this could be a good investment in the long-term.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\"Dollarama\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about DOL-T: Will be affected if Trump doesn't do a deal with China, because that's where they get their stuff. That's as far as he's going to go on fundamentals; charts tell us everything we need to know.\u00a0Chart shows the uptrend, and then the arc off trendline is a parabolic move. He'd bet that…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Loblaw Companies Ltd (L-T)<\/a>
\nA defensive name you want to have in case of a recession. Their acquisition of Shoppers was a success and has been seen positively by investors.Consumer stocks are becoming more popular as investors adopt a more defensive strategy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about L-T: Don't fixate too much on bread-fixing issue. Sticky inflation has helped margins. One to hold as a core defensive name in your portfolio. Not particularly overvalued, given all the franchises it encompasses.For exposure in the space, he's pivoted to a name like ATD. Over the next 12 months he'd bet that ATD,…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Kellog (K-N)<\/a>
\nAnother defensive name. They produce cereal and snacks that are very popular with Canadians. They pay a nice dividend. They purchased Pringles a couple of years ago, and are trying to diversify their offerings.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about K-N: Driven by the legacy of our innovative founder, w.k. kellogg, the kellogg company is the world\u2019s leading producer of cereal, and a leader in cookies, crackers, and savory snacks production. every day, our well-loved brands, delight families in more than 180 countries. with annual sales of more than $14 billion, our brands…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Amazon.com (AMZN-Q)<\/a>
\nThe most popular e-commerce store. They have activities in retail, cloud services and is well diversified, touching many sectors. They are growing their cloud services. Investors are looking at it closely as their valuation has been coming down, and they are still bullish on e-commerce.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about AMZN-Q: S&P is at new highs, but not this name. Chart shows what could be a double top (you have 2 peaks where a push higher failed). Old point of resistance ~$180 becomes support, and that's the neckline. If it pulls back and bounces off, then it's probably a consolidation. But if it…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Costco Wholesale (COST-Q)<\/a>
\nThey have a great balance sheet and keep producing great results. They are driven by memberships. The valuation is a little high so we would buy on weakness. Many analysts think that Costco is resistant to Amazon although they need to bulk up their online presence.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about COST-Q: Nice run, starting to come over. May have had a double top, look for $1050 to be significant resistance. Old support range looks like $860-900.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

💻 Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alphabet Inc. \/ Google (GOOG-Q)<\/a>
\nMuch of the internet is accessed using Google by Canadians. In addition, google home devices have penetrated many households as the smart device of choice. Combined with their android operating system, Google\/Alphabet is used by most Canadians on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about GOOG-Q: (A Top Pick Oct 22\/24, Up 54%) Trading at a discount to the S&P average multiple, even after this wonderful run. That's on the back of increased earnings. When earnings increase rapidly but the price does too, the valuation doesn't change, and a company can still remain a very good buy.Depending on…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sony Corp. ADR (SNE-N)<\/a>
\nTheir activities include technology, games and movies. The most important products are the PlayStation consoles, cameras and their entertainment segment. There are some people who are very bullish on their content department.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about SNE-N: Their main drivers are Sony Playstation, Sony Music, and films. The Playstation has its ups and downs from competition. Music is well behind the #1 player. Films are also unpredictable. Sony should spin off its music publishing business and focus on the other two areas. Not a cheap stock. Earnings vary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\"stockchase.com\"\t\tstockchase.com\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Microsoft (MSFT-Q)<\/a>
\nA driver of the online world.They have a solid balance sheet and are performing well. They are moving towards becoming a software service company. Microsoft also enjoys a healthy installed base with high recurring revenue with low cost. They pay a nice dividend that will grow.<\/p>\n

Opinion about MSFT-Q: (A Top Pick Apr 15\/24, Up 24%) Steady 10-15% earnings growth, and a lot flows through to FCF. Can easily fund a lot of the AI buildout. Can't actually build fast enough to get the GPUs they need to grow the business, so this might be an issue. Azure still growing almost…<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
