TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this marine bulk transport business as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported revenues were up 10% over the year.  Management expects a return to full fleet utilization for the balance of the year.  It trades at 7x earnings and under book value, while supporting a 15% ROE.  It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $13.50) to $14.50, looking to achieve $22.00 -- upside potential over 40%.  Yield 4.5%  

(Analysts’ price target is $22.50)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Despite a revenue decline in recently reported earnings, due to a drop in offshore wind production, we see this as short term and reiterate this renewable energy developer as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 1.5x book and supports a 12% ROE.  The dividend is a good yield, supported by a payout ratio under 70% of cash flow.  We like they have increased cash reserves, while aggressively retiring debt.  We continue to recommend a stop at $21, looking to achieve $36 -- upside potential over 40%.  Yield 4.7%

TOP PICK

With recently reported earnings improving sharply, we reiterate this steel and pipe supplier to the oil and gas sector as a TOP PICK.  Net income and EPS was nearly double that of the first half of 2022.  Free cash flow reached a record $1.2 billion.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 25% ROE.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $26) to $28, looking to achieve $42 -- upside potential over 25%.  Yield 1.0%

COMMENT

Governments have been pumping money into the system, but the problem is we have the same amount of goods and services. Also, people are holding onto jobs, immigration is rising and unions are demanding more money because of inflation. All this creates a cycle of inflation--stagflation. So, he is favouring materials, metals and oil. Inflation is here to stay, not 8%, but 3-4% for a while. Commodities are due their turn, so he's getting back into them.

TRADE

The chart has flatlined around $17-23, a range. He likes trading these stocks; it's easy. It hasn't returned to its pre-Covid highs. Don't guess it will break out. Just trade in this range.

COMMENT

It's had a good run. Any uptrend will see a consolidation period which is happening now. Nothing wrong with that. Could pull back slightly. The story is intact long term.

TRADE
Use covered calls?

If it continues to rise, he'll hold on, but if it breaks down to around $37, he'll sell it. It's been sideways since early 2022. 

COMMENT

He owns BCE. RCI is sideways, and he likes sideways because you can trade within that range of $54-70.

SELL

Since peaking in early 2021, MG has been in a downtrend. Now, it's forming a base. If it breaks $85 and stays there a few weeks, that's good.  But it keeps rubbing against that resistance level and he doesn't see a catalyst to take it higher.

DON'T BUY

It's overbought. His rule is that if a stock is more than 10% above its 200-day moving average, it will pull back.

RISKY

The chart if forming a cup (not bad), but swings lately are troublesome. Not for the timid. Very choppy. Maybe trade this, but be careful; resistance at $9.

COMMENT

It's had a good run. Its chart neckline is around $100 and is pulling back to that level. That's fine unless it falls below $100 and stays down there, at which point sell.
