TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this REIT which owns multi-resident properties across the country as a TOP PICK.  With a rising cost of capital, the company prudently terminated an option to purchase an apartment complex, which allowed it to reduce debt and build its cash reserves.  It trades under book value and supports a 14% ROE thanks to a 56% operating margin.  It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow.  We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $13, looking to achieve $19 -- upside potential of 24%.  Yield 3.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $19.23)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate CPG, with producing assets in Western Canada and the Bakken, as a TOP PICK.  The company has pledged 50% of excess cash flow to be returned to shareholders.  It has been able to do this while aggressively retiring debt and buying back shares and it currently trades at under book value.  We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $8, looking to achieve $13 -- upside potential of 33%.  Yield 3.5%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate this Western Canadian real estate developer as a TOP PICK.  Higher interest rates are challenging in the sector, but the company continues to increase cash reserves, while aggressively reducing debt and buying back shares.  It trades at 5x earnings and under book value.  The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $9.50) to $10.25, looking to achieve $14 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 5.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $14.00)

COMMENT

Inflation in the first half of 2022 was elevated, up to 1.2% one month, but has since fallen to 0.2-0.3% monthly. So, the US Fed will raise rates once or twice to meet their goal of 2% inflation. It's unlikely inflation will spike. Megatech stocks should do okay in earnings season; they're cash machines. Tech stocks are going to moon: inflation is lowering, the AI craze is on.

BUY

In terms of AI, they were a leader with their IBM Watson software. He targets $140.30. He owns a small holding. For the end users, IBM is very good with AI software.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He targets $62.25. He likes and follows it, but they bought Micro Focus for$6 billion, half their market cap. So if they can integrate that quickly. It would make them more competitive. Buy at $48, then at $45 in tranches. Too expensive now.

BUY

Likes it. Most software companies are horizontally built, but CSU has vertical silos. Shares have come off a bit. He targets $2,925, so it has a good runway. They 7 silos, including healthcare and manufacturing. They built their acquisitions under those silos vs. other software companies that bring out a software and say it's for the masses.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He follows it. It's pricey. It's had a good run and has passed its price target. It was spun off from Constellation. Why hasn't it transitioned into the TSX? They've done well in the past month by 8%. Buy it at $97 and then the low-$90s.

TRADE

A few weeks ago, it got 3 standard deviations above its 50-day moving average, which triggered him to take profits. It's a short-term trade.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Buy on dips. Last year you would have bought on any rally.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He targets $170.50. This and Sentinel are the leaders in this sector. CRWD has the infrastructure to scale up. Are second only to Microsoft to execute. Own it here and add at $142 then $135 on pullbacks.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 03/22, Down 8%)

Shares have come back. He targets $145-148. They're the king of retail and cloud. AWS makes up 72% of their earnings. They incorporate gen AI in their cloud, plus they have smaller bets. Has long been a top holdings. Loves this stock.
