PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 12/24, Up 22%)

Correlated with copper, and it set up nicely with where we were in the business cycle. Big breakout over the last 2 months. Good-looking chart with higher highs and lows. Sees further upside into August.

BUY

Long-term winner. Chart looks great. You can see the tariff tantrum, and now the stock looks as though it wants to push higher. A Canadian stalwart. Great long-term buy and hold. Corrections are always a great time to add.

DON'T BUY

In sideways, no-man's land. A laggard right now. Wait for signs that the trend is changing. Lower highs and lower lows, and that's not where you want to be.

BUY

Higher highs, higher lows. Repaired damage from the tariff tantrum. Looks as though it wants to push higher. In the middle of a range, looking positive. Likely to see new highs before we get to the choppiness of August.

DON'T BUY

Unfortunately, still remains in a broader downtrend. Lower highs, lower lows. Positive news is that looks to be testing upper end of the range. If it could get through $43-44, he'd be more constructive. Cautious.

PARTIAL BUY

Longer double bottom from 2023 to 2025. If we are starting a new cycle, it will be positive for assets across the board. Bitcoin is traditionally more of a risk-on asset. Doesn't mind nibbling here, then add exposure as it shows it's a winner and worthy of adding more capital.

BUY

Definitely putting in a major low. Highlighting this quite frequently to clients over the last couple of months. His fundamental analyst is highlighting this as well. Broke the bigger multi-year downtrend from 2022. Lots of institutional buying. Its peer in the States, MOS, is showing the same pattern.

BUY

Really likes it, very timely. Broke the bigger multi-year downtrend from 2022. Its peer, NTR, is showing the same pattern. So the whole space is turning positive.

WATCH

Sideways trading range. He'd be much more confident if we could clear the $60 level decisively. Seems like dead money until that happens.

TOP PICK

Bigger consolidation through most of 2024. Downtrend broken, starting to push higher. Higher highs and lows. RSI is accelerating, institutions are stepping in to buy. (The copper chart also looks to be reaccelerating, testing the key $15 level, and the next technical upside target would be ~$16. That would be a tailwind.) Yield is 0.77%.

(Analysts’ price target is $15.40)

TOP PICK

Chart shows a pretty positive pattern of an "ascending triangle", which is a really powerful one in technical analysis. You're seeing a series of higher lows because investors continue to snap up the stock on the move higher. What you're really looking for is a breakout of the multi-year range. Rated "outperform" by his fundamental analyst.

Take a look at the 5-year chart. You can really see the longer range. "The longer the base, the longer the time in space." Meaning that when it goes, it really starts to move. Now testing the upper end of the range. Further USD weakness should be a real tailwind for commodities. No dividend. 

(Analysts’ price target is $16.73)
TOP PICK

His fundamental analyst on this name rates it "outperform" and doesn't see 50% tariff ramifications as huge. Higher highs, higher lows. Since tariff tantrum, has really started to pick up and try to push higher. Likes the setup. If he's right about the rally into August, should retest recent highs around $46. So another potential 10% upside. 

Canada's showing leadership, commodities moving higher, big infrastructure push. This name should participate in the broad expansion we're seeing in Canada. Yield is 4.05%.

(Analysts’ price target is $51.50)
COMMENT
Weak investing months.

August is the precursor to September, which is historically the weakest month of the year for equity markets. Both for the TSX and the S&P 500. You see a lot of corrections take place.

His work shows that we've worked through the tariff tantrum, stocks are repairing themselves, price momentum is improving, and risk-on areas of the market are strengthening and accelerating. All of this supports a push higher into August.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate Indonesia's largest telecom with over 160 million customers as a TOP PICK.  Recently released earnings showed a 10% growth in personal account revenues along with a 14% increase in data consumption.  This allowed cash reserves to continue to grow, despite aggressively retiring debt and buying back shares.  It trades at 12x earnings, 2x book and supports a ROE of 16%.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $12.00) to $15.00, looking to achieve $20.50 -- upside potential of 17%.  Yield 6.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $20.12)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this pharma producer as a TOP PICK.  The company just announced a $9.5 billion acquisition that will help foster a pipeline of treatments for inflammation and other disorders that is already paying out growing cash flow.  It trades at 21x earnings and 1.5x book.  Dividend growth is expected over 40% this year, backed by a payout ratio under two-thirds of cash flow.  Cash reserves are prudently being used to retire debt and buy back shares.  We continue to recommend a stop at $47, looking to achieve $65 -- upside potential of 30%.  Yield 4.5%  

(Analysts’ price target is $65.16)
