DON'T BUY

He sold it 3 months ago after holding it a long time. Shares keep falling. They fired their CEO. On paper, this stock looked good--reasonable valuation and good growth prospects, but they could never execute. There was always one piece in the vertical integration that failed them. That's why he left. The shares look cheap now, but can get cheaper. This is a value trap.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

If sentiment changes in China, this will move up sharply. As a cyclical, you can enter this stock at this point now. He likes FCX, which controls 8% of global copper production. Well-managed. The long-term secular story for copper is very strong--used in data centres, EVs, green energy. 

TOP PICK

Has long owned this, the consummate growth company. They will like pass $200 EPS in 2025 vs. $10 EPS 15 years ago. Trades at only a 10% premium to the market. 

(Analysts’ price target is $5167.74)
TOP PICK

Growing at double-digits and trading around 19x PE. Much growth, a third, comes from the weight-loss drugs, mostly from LLY and Novo Nordisk. An aging population will need more medications.

(Analysts’ price target is $658.83)
TOP PICK

Super growth rate. Uber Eats is growing. They haven't monetized the 160 million users of their app, so ads will be a big part of their business. Shares are down now because of worries of Elon Musk so tied in with the incoming president. Good tech companies adapt, and Uber can adapt. Self-driving cars will massively increase the market for ride-sharing. Trades at only 26x PE 2025, not expensive.

(Analysts’ price target is $91.08)

IMXI provides international online payment services to customers in North and South America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia.  Recently reported earnings modestly beat expectations and analysts expect a further 5% increase in EPS.  The company has been prudently using some cash reserves to reduce debt and buy back shares.  It trades at 12x earnings and supports a ROE of 40%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $18, looking to achieve $26 -- upside potential of 19%.  Yield 0%
