He expects a lot of ups and downs. He's surprised the market is up this much so far this year. The year began with 6-7 rate cuts and not now it's maybe 2 for Canada. Great that shares are up, but we're ahead of their skiis. He expects a pullback though earnings have been good. In recent days, economic data has been weaker than what the market expected. In Canada, sectors like telcos and utilities will respond to a Bank of Canada rate cut and overall a good signal. Buy those on sale now. He sees 1-2 cuts this year in Canada; too many cuts will weaken the Canadian dollar against the USD. Oil: that's driven by OPEC cuts and doesn't effect the CAD as much as interest rates. Oil stocks are on sale here; the transition to renewables will take longer than we expect. Oil and natural gas will enjoy good demand.
Minimal, and almost negligible in the long term. Both Mastercard and Visa will make up for this due to their large volumes of transactions. Expect more transactions using credit and debit cards, as well as cross-border travel. Both benefit from the shift to a cashless society.
The shares' 30% drop is extreme. This is a growth-by-acquisition story, and this number has fallen a little. During Covid, labour costs rose and their were insurance issues about reimbursements. But cars now use more technology, which leads to higher accident repair bills to fix cameras, sensors, etc. This means they can grow more organically.
Own BN, because it's the mothership; everything flows to them. BN has been under pressure for owning office real estate, which is very undervalued and will take time to resolve. They own a big stake in BAM, which is the gem in this lot, because BAM collects healthy fees which flow to BN. BBU doesn't enjoy this.

UNP is Warren Buffet's 2nd favorite railroad to own (he owns BNSF). It has paid its dividend for 125 consecutive years. It is prudently using some cash reserves to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares. It trades at 9x earnings and supports a ROE of 45%. The dividend is backed by a payout ratio of 50% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $207, looking to achieve $268 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 2.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $267.82)
