HOLD
Investor is at breakeven. Hold or sell?

Solid company. Thinks 2025 will be positive for the consumer and auto demand, and the stock's not reflecting this. If you're a long-term player, and you still like the fundamentals, keep holding.

WEAK BUY

Probably a more positive outlook for 2025 than in 2024. A warning for those who invest just for the dividend; high yield doesn't always mean the stock price is safe. Beaten up already, and then tax-loss season came along.

Peeling back the layers, it's still well run. At these levels, don't buy it for income. You're buying for growth. In the medium term, there are growth opportunities here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Outlook is still favourable. Taking advantage of spending in the electronic world. Fundamentals will still do well. Forming partnerships with other companies furthers integration in the digital space. Decent runway, though you may want to wait for a pullback to enter.

TOP PICK
Use the CDR.

Really large footprint in a niche area of AI, which will provide better growth than an NVDA (whose growth is starting to slow). Building up AI infrastructure and cost efficiency. Valuation is great. The CDR hedges against the CAD moving up from its very low level now. Yield is 1.2%.

(Analysts’ price target is $197.96)
TOP PICK
Use the CDR.

Increased demand for credit cards and online shopping will continue. Partnership with NFLX focuses on live events. None of these partnerships will generate a ton of revenue, but it's ingenious how they're gaining access to the consumer. Yield is 0.5%.

(Analysts’ price target is $564.73)
TOP PICK

He's looking for a good entry point. Cut dividend, which was long overdue. Now looking at more share buybacks, a good thing. Valuation is really attractive. Strong fundamentals going forward. Not a dividend play, but a good opportunity for growth. Yield is 3%.

(Analysts’ price target is $9.00)
