Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly STNE is a fintech company providing e-commerce serves in Brazil, where 85% of all transactions are still conducted with cash. The company currently accounts for 51% of the countries current e-commerce business. Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway owns a sizable piece of the company. The company just recently made a $1.1 billion acquisition of a retail management software company that can help extend its reach. We like the entry here, which is a retracement off the $55 highs. Annual sales growth is over 30%, with over 500,000 clients (up 74%). The recent share pullback might well be associated to a follow-on offering of 27 million shares at $47.50. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $45 -- an area of significant technical resistance that should now act as support. Yield 0%
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly SPG is re-inventing itself, along with partner Brookfield Property Partners. Specifically, the two are partnering to bid for bankrupt JCPenny. This could all be part of a cagey strategy to use the space for Amazon fulfillment centres to allow the e-commerce giant to speed up delivery and increase distribution efficiency. We think the dividend cut potentially be at risk to a cut, but we think that fact is already priced in. Analysts see upside to over $86 -- upside of 30%. We would use $55 as a stop loss. Yield 7.67% (Analysts’ price target is $86.14)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly A similar e-commerce opportunity like SHOP is to North America, MELI is to Latin America. The company uses its platform to help businesses sell their items online and also has a fintech side of their business to help manage cash payments. The company reported strong Q1 earnings with sales growth over 30% for the past five years and the trend is catching on in the region. The company reports earnings this week, so there could be some opportune volatility. We would look to a pullback towards $1000 as an excellent entry point with an eye to re-test highs near $1200 or towards $1400.
