Allan Tong’s Discover Picks CAE has some things going for it. Fingers crossed, the Covid pandemic looks like it is truly behind us. There's been a boom in travel that shows no sign of abating. Airlines need pilots. Period. Given geopolitical tensions triggered by Russia, defence budgets are on the rise, and certainly not shrinking. Expect defence dollars to trickle onto CAE's bottom line. Also, the company's order backlog jumped 26% between Q1-2022 and Q1-2023, amounting to over $10.026 billion. Caveats: A recession could slow down business, but demand from defence could buffer that. Also, CAE trades at a high beta of 1.93. Read 2 Stocks on Sale: CAE and Paypal for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The sum result? PayPal sales slowed and the company lowered its revenue forecasts last November, January and April. In Q2, PayPal posted its first net loss since 2014, despite net revenue growing 9% year-over-year. In August 2021, PayPal shares scaled $288. Now, it's trading below its 50-day moving average of $91.43. Accordingly, PayPal's PE has fallen from 68x from that $288 high to 54x though it tumbled below 25x last June. Has PayPal hit bottom? It might have already. The stock dipped below $70 twice over the summer (June 30 and July 14) then touched $100 for a few days during the bear market rally of mid-August. As I write, PayPal is hovering below $90, dragged down along with the rest of the market. Read 2 Stocks on Sale: CAE and Paypal for our full analysis.
COMMENT

COMMENT
Its stock moves have been dramatic. It's an extraordinarily important company. The valuation isn't there yet, but it's getting a lot closer. As painful as its decline has been, it is a necessary evil.
