BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Low interest rates benefit the company but the company’s success is not necessarily contingent on it. A quick jump in rates might disrupt the stock as would other companies. BAM.A is not investing in low returning projects just because of low rates. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.  Covid has helped the company with consumers more aware of health. They beat sale estimates last quarter but missed on EPS.

TOP PICK
However, why is there such a vast discrepancy in PE between Facebook and Tesla. Tesla stock tripled in the last six months, but not its revenues. One reason is that the market perceives Tesla has having faster growth than its tech peers, a view the pre-dates COVID, as this Morgan Stanley analyst explained last February. Since then, a Barclays analyst has doubted that CEO Elon Musk can live up to his targets, and saw flaws in his growth story. Last July, this analyst forecast Tesla to plunge in Q4. Our verdict: sell.

TOP PICK
Apple is on steadier ground, given its loyal army of customers and the future roll-out of 5G-compatible iPhones. Those customers kept buying Apple during the lockdown, keeping the company swimming in free cash. However, revenue growth over the last five years averages around 8% while the stock has soared 115% since the March 23 bottom. We see Apple as overbought, but still a solid company and recommend buying on a pullback or taking some profits.

Microsoft PE 37.12 Another way to compare these stocks is share performance year-to-date. Google has seen the lowest increase, around 14%. Next, Microsoft and Facebook have both surged 34%. Things get heady with Apple, spiking more than 60%, then stratospheric with Shopify (the TSX listing) up nearly 140%. But that pales to the exuberance of Tesla, which rocketed above 400% YTD by the end of August before slipping down to 363% currently.

TOP PICK
Shopify PE 540.57 As proud Canadians, we admire Shopify, the undisputed whiz kid of e-commerce that has capitalized on the lockdown by nearly tripling its stock price this year. However, investors are banking too highly on the future. Last week, analysts John Zechner and Bruce Campbell both considered the stock overbought. Zechner stressed that valuations matter. Greg Newman advises picking this up below $1,000. We agree. As for Microsoft, Google and Facebook, not to mention Amazon and Netflix, those are only slightly overbought and have a place in any portfolio. Demand for their services will remain strong. Hold, if you own them, and add on weakness.
