He doesn't expect the same returns in 2026 as in 2025 or for the last 3 years, which averaged 23% annually vs. the historic 8-9%. Tech will remain his largest sector as well as on the S&P; the fundamentals are strong and growth is tremendous. This isn't speculative. He's fully invested and slightly overweight tech. He also favours materials, especially gold, which is a hedge against inflation and the go-to when there's geopolitical risk. Gold stocks remain very cheap with good cash flow. There isn't over-mining and margins remain good.
Splitting doesn't make the company bigger, but more accessible and the current price of $238 is still accessible to most investors. Splitting tends to happen at $1,000. Long-term, RY could be the best bank in the world. It's super-consistent, very well-run and not expensive. This is a buy, hold and forget about it.
The market sees AI as a threat to ACN's business, but the sell-off has been overdone. ACN has an opportunity to do really well by helping companies deploy AI. He believes ACN will find a way. Fundamentals remain very good. This is an opportunity. Innovation happens all the time, and there's always a need for consulting, even with AI. Plus, ACN has a 30-year track record.
We reiterate MPWR as a TOP PICK. As an analog semiconductor chip maker specializing in integrated power management systems, these chip are the backbone in many electronic applications. Recently reported earnings showed an 18% increase in revenues, and a five year annual average growth of 29% in EPS and 25% increase in dividends. The company is generating $700 million in free cash flow, while growing cash reserves, aggressively buying back shares, and generating a 64% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $600) to $750, looking to achieve $1200 - upside potential over 20%. Yield 0.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $1217.31)
