Savaria’s revenues have grown from $120 million in 2016 to $661 million in 2021 (the last reported full year). Accordingly, operating income has also climbed from $18.19 million to $49.18 million in the same time frame.

CTC’A trades at a 9.92x PE, pays a 3.95% dividend yield backed by a safe 33.24% payout ratio. That valuation, by the way, has been the same since last July and is a far cry from July 2020 through June 2021 when it topped 17x. CTC’A is trending above its 50-day moving average of $154.53 and 200-day of $159.03, while the street sees a higher PE of 10.16x. Quarterly revenue growth YOY rose 3.9% and earnings growth 4.6%.

XLI charges only 10 basis points, pays a small 1.58% dividend yield, but it holds some heavy hitters: Honeywell, UPS, Union Pacific, Boeing, Raytheon and Caterpillar in that order. Yes, GE also sits in this basket, but so do Lockheed Martin and Deere. The biggest holding, Honeywell, has exposure to defense, but more so automation in manufacturing, a growing area and one that’s needed in the current labour shortage.

Inflation is slowly declining as central banks are in the late inning of interest rate hikes. Investors hope banks reverse course later this year, but job numbers remain high and inflation in sticky. Sentiment is neutral. There's fear of missing out in “zero days to expiry” options trading on single stocks and U.S. indices. He remains cautious, patient.
A high-beta 1.5 stock. Not a pretty chart nor is it cheap at 20x PE. As the market goes, so goes this stock. No sign of an upturn. Exposure to China is double their peers which is a concern, so semis are being more and more restricted by governments, so that's a risk. Compounded returns over 5 years have been 14% annually, which beats the market, but AMD and others are double.
Prefers Quebecor. They rejected an approach from shareholder Rogers, so it's unclear what Cogeco's long-term future. Is overlooked by Bay Street. Has lagged the TSX the past decade. Pays a decent 4% yield. But they lack wireless and entertainment unlike its peers. And they're not in the major Canadian markets.
Not a nat gas producer, but processor with some utilities business. Hasn't owned this since 2016. From 2016 to Covid that had several trials, but they righted their ship and divested some holdings. A better stock not, but not compelled to own it. Has exposure to propane and nat gas, but there are better peers than this.
This $6 billion market cap producer in the prolific Montney region is setting production records. It trades at 1.4x book value and supports a 36% ROE.

(Analysts’ price target is $15.85)
