Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our recommendation of LITE (maker of fiber optic network products essential in the 5G rollout) as a TOP PICK. It trades at 17x earnings compared to peers at 38x. It continues to grow its cash reserves and buying back shares. We would buy this with a stop loss at $70, looking to achieve $100 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $96.76)
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our recommendation of BCC as a TOP PICK. The lumber manufacturer focuses on engineered wood products, which are increasingly popular for their durability and longevity. These traits continue to be during the pandemic as consumers focused on better quality home improvement projects. It trades at 8x earnings compared to peers at 18x. It pays a small dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $45, looking to achieve $64 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0.74% (Analysts’ price target is $63.80)
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate HTB as a TOP PICK. This low MER ETF tracks US 7-10 year Treasuries -- a safe haven during market down turns. Priced in Canadian dollars, this would likely add another kicker in a market down turn as we expect a flight to the US dollar safety at some point. We would buy this with a stop loss at $57.50, holding as insurance against a market downturn. Yield 0%
