Best years of growth are probably behind it. Buybacks and dividend increases. Really tied to consumption, whether institutional or consumer. Good brand, good story. Transition from cash to digital will continue -- premier opportunity in that space. He's overweight, and probably won't trim just yet.
A name you buy whenever you get the opportunity; long term, you'll make money. He's not a huge fan of the market at these levels.
Likes the pipeline. A number of candidates to seek approval in the next couple of years, which will be a catalyst for earnings going forward. Fairly productive R&D engine. Also growth through tuck-in acquisitions. Relatively attractively priced given current growth outlook. Going to be second-fastest growing drug stock in Europe behind NVO. Yield is 3.06%.
(Analysts’ price target is $85.38)Tariffs were an opportunity to buy at a discount. No alternative for Canadian commodities to get to the US. Next US House elections are in 18 months; if we start to see significant US pain from tariffs, they'll hit pause. Longer term, having a network to serve Canada/US/Mexico makes a ton of sense. Share buybacks and dividend increases. Buy and hold for a long time. Yield is 0.80%.
(Analysts’ price target is $119.34)In last decade, has grown 19% annually on average, and that's without the dividend. Industrial gases from oxygen in hospitals to acetylene for welding. Biggest. Share buybacks and dividend increases. Strong returns for a long time. Tariff noise gave new money a chance to get in. Global scope and good execution. Yield is 1.32%.
(Analysts’ price target is $496.19)We think the recent bid is a highly opportunistic bid, at a too-low price and with not enough cash as part of the renumeration (it is mostly stock). We cannot blame Strathcona for the attempt, and it has already bought 9.2% of the company, but there is a reason that MEG did not want to discuss this. At 9X earnings, and barely 5X cash flow, the stock is worth more than the current bid. MEG stock has reacted strongly today. We expect either a higher bid from Strathcona or a new bidder to enter the fray. We would HOLD.

ARX has been showing nice momentum recently, and it trades at a decent valuation of 11X forward earnings. Its recent acquisition of Montney assets in Kakwa from Strathcona Resources is a significant strategic move, and it is expected to enhance ARX's production capacity and extend its inventory duration. To finance this acquisition, it plans to use a combination of a new $1.0B two-year term loan and existing credit facilities. After the acquisition, it is expected to have a net debt around $2.8B or more. We like the acquisition and for a long-term position, we would be comfortable buying here.

Has done significantly better than HSY. Unfortunately, it's $20k a participation share, with a common share being over $200k CAD. Also has the benefit of the currency exchange. This is the stock to own for widows and orphans.
