Stock Opinions by Kim Bolton

COMMENT
Alphabet Inc
Deal with Canadian Feds where GOOG will make annual payments to news companies of around $100M.

It's a bit less than expected, so good news for everyone. As of Q3, it had around $83B in revenue, and 80% of that came from Search. So $100M here and $100M there will take care of it.

Technology
COMMENT
NASDAQ's had a good November.

Yes, up around 10-11%. The Magnificent 7 are dragging everyone along with them. Looking back, October and September were each down 5%. So it just got back close to those July 2023 heights. A lot of the software stocks are well shy of their 2021 peaks.

COMMENT
Market breadth.

On the SaaS side, things have perked up. With SaaS being very highly leveraged and lots of debt on the books, interest rates coming down are helping out a lot.

Unknown
COMMENT
Return soon to tech IPOs?

It's been very quiet. He thinks so, but probably not in December. We'll have to wait till the new year.

PARTIAL BUY

Great Canadian name. Reservoir simulation software. Good, long-term growth story. A bit cyclical because geared to the energy complex. Pick it up in thirds here, at $9 level, and around $8.

WAIT
Datadog, Inc.

"Lifeguard in the cloud pool", lets other SaaS components work better with each other. Pretty well priced. Great long-term story. Beat top, bottom, guided higher. Buy in thirds. Wait to add, then more around $110 and $102. Shouldn't go under $100.

(Analysts’ price target is $106.00)

BUY
CSU vs. TOI vs. LMN.

CSU still owns 61% of Lumina, so they're still driving the bus. Lumina geared towards media side. LMN is supposed to be the mini-Constellation. 

CSU has gone through its price target. LMN is under its price target. So LMN is probably a little cheaper.

He'd invest in all 3. Say you had $100K. He'd put 60% in CSU, and split the rest between TOI and LMN.

PARTIAL BUY

High-performance servers and storage solutions. Competes with Dell and HP, but is smaller, more nimble, and faster to market. Targets enterprise data centres, AI, 5G, cloud, and edge. Nice runway. Buy in thirds here, at $270, and $260.

PARTIAL SELL
Oracle

His 12-month price target is $132. Last report beat on top and bottom, but conservative guidance. Behemoth. Lots of AI partnerships. Cross-selling. Trim in mid-$120s. Re-enter at $110 and $105. Probably won't go below $100.

(Analysts’ price target is $126.00)

PARTIAL BUY
Palo Alto Networks

Almost fully valued. A niche player, geared more toward the small- and medium-size enterprises. Firewall security is their main ticket. Could buy here, but keep powder dry to add lower.

(Analysts’ price target is $302.00)

PARTIAL BUY
Microsoft Corp

So much going for it, where do you start? Beat on top, bottom, and raised guidance. Flavour of the month is AI. Announced AI chip, "Athena", that's as powerful as NVDA's. Buy in thirds here around $378, $358, and around $340.

(Analysts’ price target is $397.00)
