DON'T BUY

Too volatile for her. Stay away. Ranks 1/10 on value. Upside to street's price target only 1.5%, so risk/reward is just not there.

WATCH

One of the worst performers, down 33% on the year, 52-week low. She sold a while ago, took a small loss. Unlikely to fall much further. 19x forward PE. Pressure in the space, sluggish sales in China. Cutting costs. Still has strong branding, global market share of nearly 40%.

Likes the company, watches it. She'd wait for confirmation of a turnaround before getting in.

BUY

Bit volatile, but sees upside. Very attractive value score of 9/10. Expects stock to rally as interests rates ease. Beat latest EPS. Up YTD 13%. Growth opportunities within the business model. Great dividend yield of almost 6%.

DON'T BUY

Volatile, avoid. Comeback in revenue since Covid. Fundamentally weak, broken down. Slightly beat on revenue, but missed earnings. Trading sideways. A big rebound would take more than the company's capable of at this point.

(Analysts’ price target is $12.58)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Leading Canadian resource company, focused on responsible operations. Sees upside. 9/10 on fundamentals, but only 4/10 on value. Diversified business model. Wait for more of a pullback, great long-term play.

TOP PICK

Averaged 9% annual upside over last 3 years, and 16% for the last 5. Fundamentally a 9/10.

(Analysts’ price target is $609.22)
TOP PICK

Looking at the chart, a deep value play. A brand-new addition for her, just picking it up this week. Over the years, she's traded it multiple times and made money. Retail sector has been one of the primary pain points in the last few months, and she sees opportunity. No dividend.

With this one, you have to consider the bigger picture: quality, customer loyalty. 80% of revenue in 2023 from USA, 10% from China, rest globally. Oversold, recession fears have moved to the back burner. Trading at 40% discount to 10-year average. Her price target is $400, a 37% return on a trade from here. High-quality business, challenging macro, story's far from over.

(Analysts’ price target is $392.90)
DON'T BUY

BUY

They reiterated their numbers and didn't cut guidance (as in April). He thinks the trucking business is bottoming now.

DON'T BUY

Yesterday, it reported very weak numbers, like operating volume -24% YOY and operating revenues -7% YOY. Management blamed higher insurance and certain personnel expenses. They don't give guidance. The investor call went badly. Shares tanked 7% today. Is -18% this year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They make electrical products for data centres, healthcare, utility and residential markets. The demand for and use of AI means surging demand for electricity, which plays into HUBB's products. Margins are wide. Also, companies that are reshoring--bringing back facilities back to the US--will need to connect to the power grid. Meanwhile, grid modernization continues as sustainability energy increases. Also, there's an AI centre boom, again needing electricity. Shares have dipped, so you can buy it now. Their last quarter was strong, but didn't raise their forecast to the street's disappointment. This is a long-term buy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He recently took profits because it ran up so much. Tech has been selling off this week, and this could fall further, like $160. You can buy this. A great company.

COMMENT

A steady operator with shares up 16% this year but reported a miss today and cut guidance due to increased competition in the south where they operator. Shares were down nearly 6% today.

WEAK BUY
