He holds Costco instead, as it brings in 3x as much in sales. WMT is a good name, but has lower growth prospects. Trying to enhance their digital experience, and he can't predict results just yet. 26x earnings, 6% earnings growth. Not cheap, but not expensive.
One of his top holdings. Not expensive. 24x earnings for 20-25% growth. Will benefit from long-term secular trend of more digital ads. Regulatory risks won't have a meaningful impact on earnings. If he had to choose between this and Google, he'd choose FB by a hair.
Revenue growth will continue to be strong. Will benefit from more and more digital advertising. If he had to choose this or Facebook, he'd choose FB, but it's close.

Stock's responding to news of new CEO. But, stock has underperformed. Manufacturing challenges, increased competition. Revenue growth seems flat. He owns Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor, so you could look at those.

Both telecom stocks in Canada and US have been stagnant to some extent. The runway for growth for wireless in Canada is very strong. It is more exposed to Shaw's move to wireless than BCE and Rogers. It is trading at 9x EBIDTA which is high, but the dividend is at 5% and the growth rate should increase. Good stock for income investor.

A phenomenal name and the pandemic has accelerated revenue and growth. The PEG ratio is 2x. Comparing it to Alibaba and others in China, it is more expensive. However, there is less regulatory risk. Nothing wrong with it. He owns other e-commerce names in China. Better value could be out there.

He owns KWEB for some of his clients. A higher beta, higher octane type of name. Longer term it makes a lot of sense since the penetration of the internet in China is much lower than NA. AIA is 50 largest names in Asia that has outside of China and includes other sectors like semiconductors and banks. AIA would be more conservative of the two.

Prefers this over Visa. It has a higher growth runway than Visa. Expects $15B in revenues. Near-term, a return to a more normal world will help Mastercard and spending volumes. Travel and cross-boarder transactions will come back and help volume. Secular shift away from cash will also continue to be a tailwind. (Analysts’ price target is $356.29)
