TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this producer of electric transformers as a TOP PICK.  Management announced an acceleration of capital deployment, supporting the trend for growing demand for its products.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is reduced.  It trades at 20x earnings and supports a 28% ROE.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $75) to $95, looking to achieve $146 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0.6%

(Analysts’ price target is $165.00)

We reiterate this low leverage, low payout ratio REIT with significant free cash flow as a TOP PICK.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired.  It trades at 20x earnings and under book value.   The yield is backed by a FFO ratio under 55%.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $11.90) to $13.75, looking to achieve $18.50 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 5.4%

TOP PICK

We reiterate this investment services company, with the WealthSimple brand, as a TOP PICK.  We like that cash reserves are growing while debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 11x earnings, 1.3x book, and manages a dividend payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $33.00) to $35.50, looking to achieve $44 -- upside potential of 15%.  Yield 5.7%

COMMENT

A lot of capital has fled Canada to invest in U.S. AI, because there are few Canadian places to. Rates are falling and risk appetite is rising. Stock mispricings are rare and don't last long, but he looks for mispriced compounders but offer long-term growth. Often, they are take-out targets, because they are mispriced. He avoids resource stocks because they don't create value in the cycle and they misallocate capital; resources are a trade, not investment. Has no idea where oil prices are going.

BUY
Sell TD to buy NA?

For the past 10-15 years, it's been one of the best banks, outperforming. Their purchase of Canadian Western Bank is transformative, but is a little skeptical about how synergistic the deal will be, but CWB is a good franchise and there will be some synergy. NA will do well overall.  For the next decade, NA has a smaller base to grow than TD, but their earning power will outstrip TD. That said, he would suggest only selling TD marginally to buy NA.

COMMENT
Sell TD to buy NA?

Is experiencing significant, but transitory issues. NA will do well overall.  For the next decade, NA has a smaller base to grow than TD, but their earning power will outstrip TD. That said, he would suggest only selling TD marginally to buy NA.

DON'T BUY

The pilot strike would be a big deal and cost AC a lot of money. This is not a good business, highly cyclical and competitive and prone to many things like oil prices. It's a trade, at best. Is cautious. A hold, not buy, until the strike resolves. Stay away from AC.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A true compounder in Canada. Respects management, but it's fallen from its summer peak due to profit-taking. It's a buying opportunity now. Will grow earnings in double digits for many years. Are exposed to the right verticals. Fine management.

PARTIAL BUY

Has done very well, but is concerned about the concentration of its clients (steel structures). Control by the family isn't necessarily bad. DRX benefits from infrastructure.
