TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

DXCM is the leading maker of continuous glucose monitoring systems in the US.  With diabetes being the fastest growing health issue, and only 1% of those affected having access to this type of monitoring, they have a long, long runway for growth.  They have developed devices for the larger Type 2 (non-insulin using) group and has been very successful at securing insurance company inclusion.  Recently reported revenue growth exceeded 20% and cash reserves are growing, while the company buys back shares.  It trades at a heady 35x earnings, but the 30% ROE demonstrates its strong market dominance.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $49, looking to achieve $85 -- upside potential of 32%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $85.35)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MSFT as a TOP PICK following its recently announced AI partnership that includes Nvidia and Anthropic.  Analysts see earnings growth exceeding 15% annually over the next five years -- in line with this year's 18% growth.  Cash reserves are prudently being used to aggressively buy back shares and free cash flow remains over $25 billion.  We continue to recommend a tight stop at $453, looking to achieve $630 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 0.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $631.29)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

MWPR makes integrated power management systems for semiconductors.  Its revenue growth over the past five years has exceed 25% annually and last year's EPS grew by 29%.  We like that cash reserves are growing while shares are aggressively bought back, helping to support a ROE of 64%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $600, looking to achieve $1200 -- upside potential of 34%.  Yield 0.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $1201.00)

COMMENT

REITs are starting to pick up after a slump. Now is an opportunity because RE stocks are trading at a wide discount to NAV and earnings growth is 7% in the US in Q3. Supply has been limited by a lack of construction and immigration and high inflation of recent years. Also, interest rates are stabilizing. Lots of capital on the sidelines could see a lot more M&A. Industrial REITs are in the sweet spot because manufacturing will return to North America and that will require warehouse demand. Residential REITs, though, see an oversupply. Also, he likes grocery REITs and seniors housing.

DON'T BUY

Storage demand is linked to housing activity which is limited by lack of immigration and sluggish home sales. So, the storage business and rates have come down. The stock has done well despite this, but is in a holding pattern until housing sales rise.

DON'T BUY

Magna is their biggest tenant among a good tenant base. So, their cash flow is solid. But there are vacancies in the U.S., particularly the Midwest, bu Granite has done a good job of filling those vacancies. The stock is fairly valued now. 

COMMENT
healthcare REITs in Canada vs. US

Canada offers government funding long-term care for seniors, a sector he really likes. He avoids the same sector in the US, which is seeing pressure from Medicare and Medicaid.

DON'T BUY

The Canadian multi-family market is in a tough spot because immigration levels have come off but lots of new supply, especially in condos. Rents have fallen. CAP REIT management is doing a great job, such as buying back stock, but he avoids this sector.

WATCH

They're in the refrigerator warehouse business, which offers a moat. The stock has sunk the past year, once a pandemic darling. People are buying less in the grocery stores due to inflation, maybe shifting from fresh food to pantry food. Also, there's the effect of weight-loss drugs. COLD's occupancy levels are down. COLD is near a bottom and NAV. Lots of upside here.

BUY

Have grocery tenants, including Empire (Sobeys), which are recession-resistant. They generate good growth rates, better than peers, and trades at a discount to NAV. Also, pays a good 5.85% dividend. Are developing across Canada, including Halifax.

WEAK BUY
CT vs. Smartcentres

CT hold Canadian Tire, while Smartcentres holds Walmart. Both are very stable and low internal growth rates. The latter pays over a 7% dividend, a little more than CT, but the payout ratio is 100%. Therefore, he prefers CT.
