BUY

She started buying this last year. They revamped their dental product lines, which are doing well. Dental care has room to grown in emerging, markets, though mature in North America. She sees 10% upside one year out. Likes it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

She owns BAM'A instead, but likes the alternative asset management sector. BX is a good name, but wait for dips.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has owned this for a long time. It's run up because half their business is defence (the other is aerospace which has growth opportunities as air tavel rises). Buy around low-$90s as an entry point.

BUY

Forward PE is 30x, but remember that their parks business during Covid was closed. Now, they are opening up and running well, though incurring costs from Covid, which will eventually fade. International parks are not entirely open; Shanghai Disney park may shut down. By 2024, margins should return to pre-Covid levels. Disney+ is not profitable, but expect it to be in a few years as they expand their subscriber base. More revenue to come from cinema screenings of more content. Earnings are depressed presently, which impacts the stock. Doesn't expect their dividend to return till operations normalize. The theme parks are profitable, and they can leverage their platform/content across other parts of their business.

COMMENT

She owns no oil producers, though hung onto pipeline stocks. If you want exposure to oil, SU is a candidate, though you're chasing the rally in crude oil now. She prefers CNQ for growing despite the commodities cycle.

TOP PICK

Half of earnings comes from the US. An income stock. A core holding for her. Pays a 3.5% dividend. Has a long track of increasing that dividend, 6% annually through 2025. Will benefit from greening assets into renewables in the deacade to come. (Analysts’ price target is $59.14)

TOP PICK

Bought it two years ago. They grow organically as well as through mergers. They made a great acquisition, big in environmental, which closed end-2020. WSP guides growing net revenues past 5% 2022-2024, then continuous margin improvement. Strong balance sheet. Can augment organic growth with new buys. The US infrastructure bill will help their growth in the next two years. Has a global presence, too. (Analysts’ price target is $195.43)

TOP PICK

Has owned this for years, but is buying at current prices. They make the Covid-testing kits, totalling $10 billion revenues. Demand here will likely soften. The stock price is flat over the year, despite those revenues, but at least the cash flow from the testing can lead to more products and acquisition. They forecast they can grow revenues around 9%. Attractive stock price now. Diagnostic and medical devices are good business. Pharmas are selling to emerging markets. Their glucose monitoring system is doing well. Their heart products are a new source of growth. Attractive PE. (Analysts’ price target is $139.72)

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Apple's 4-for-1 split took effect on August 31 last year. Since then through March 11, Apple has climbed 6.3%. Since February 1, Netflix has tumbled over 23% while Apple has slid 10.4% and the Nasdaq 9.1%. Apple and the Nasdaq have been entwined since February 1. Apple currently trades at a 26.24x PE, down from 30.13x on January 3. It's gotten cheaper, the cheapest so far this year. Read 3 Stock Splits to Watch for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks CPR split 5-for-1 on May 14, 2021. Since then, shares have edged up only 2.6%, but have popped more than $10 since the Russian war began on February 24. CP trades at a 23.82x PE and pays a 0.78% dividend. Currently, CP is trading right below $100 and is making new 52-week highs. It has jumped $10 since the war began. Given all the market volatility, wait for CP to dip before adding or entering. At the same time, don't expect explosive growth here. This is a long-term story. Read 3 Stock Splits to Watch for our full analysis.
PARTIAL BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Let's circle back to this tech/retail giant. Since announcing its 20-1 stock split after the Wednesday close last week, shares have jumped from $2,785.58 to nearly $3,000 in a time when tech stocks are getting hammered. Over the past 24 months, which covers the Covid pandemic, Amazon shares have risen 64%. To compare, QQQ-Q, the major tech ETF, has climbed nearly 70%, Microsoft 77% and Apple over 120%. You may say that 64% is not bad over two years, but the performance is disappointing in light of the e-commerce boom of this period. Read 3 Stock Splits to Watch for our full analysis.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate SSD, a designer and distributor of wood and concrete building construction products, as a TOP PICK. It has worked hard to expand markets into Europe along with Asia and Australia. Their products are directly benefiting from the home construction and DIY trends and offers global diversification. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by 67% and the company is posting an impressive 24% ROE. We like that cash reserves continue to grow, while the company buys back shares. It pays a small dividend backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop at $105, looking to achieve $147 — upside potential over 26%. Yield 0.87% (Analysts’ price target is $146.67)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate TOU, a top Canadian energy producer, as a TOP PICK. Trading at only 1.4x book and spinning off record free cash flow and earnings up 58% over the year, it is good value. It pays a good dividend backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We recommend trailing the stop to $42.50, looking to achieve $59.50 — over 23% upside. Yield 1.64% (Analysts’ price target is $59.33)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly As a quality Canadian company with growing sales volumes, favourable interest rates, and disciplined expense management, we reiterate MFC as a TOP PICK.

We continue to recommend a stop at $21, looking to achieve $30.50 — upside potential over 23%. Yield 5.2% (Analysts’ price target is $30.31)
