Chicago Board Options Exchange. Options give you the right to buy or sell an underlying stock/index/commodity at a certain price for a certain length of time. Higher margins than just trading stocks. Task master of proprietary products. Exclusive license on the VIX as well. Yield is 1.09%.
The business of exchanges is very good, sees growth. On a day like today when the market is down, trading exchanges are up because volumes go through the roof, with profitability right behind. Even talk of trading being allowed 24 hours a day.
Managed to combine recurring revenue (membership fees) with traditional retail. Business model is still the best in the retail space. Big push toward lower-cost merchandisers. Second to none in its ability to not only survive, but thrive, in what could be a difficult economic environment. Yield is 0.48%.
(Analysts’ price target is $1063.88)As the market struggles with US Adminstration tariffs, TLT is a TOP PICK to hedge portfolio value. This low-MER ETF tracks long term US treasuries and offers an attractive yield. We suggest maintaining a stop at $82, looking to achieve $109 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 4.1%
As markets struggle with US Administration tariffs, we reiterate PHYS as a TOP PICK. This trust holds physical gold bullion that is unencumbered, trades in Canadian dollars and avoids operational risk associated to owning a gold producer. Given uncertainty in world trade and geopolitics, it is a good holding at the moment. We recommend trailing the stop up (from $29) to $31, looking to achieve $40 -- upside of 17%. Yield 0%
Stock's come off almost 40% YTD, a real opportunity to get in. Half of its construction projects are linked to utilities. Does a lot of nuclear construction, refurbishment, and ongoing maintenance. So the projects aren't as discretionary. Stock got ahead of itself, but then concerns about economy set in. Yield is 4.48%.
Government announcements abound with infrastructure and nuclear spending. Whether we're in a recession or not, doesn't expect governments to stop spending on transit projects and the like. Lots of opportunity for public and private spending.
A new position for clients this year. Consumer staple. Specialty foods (main segment) + food distribution to schools, hospitals, and restaurants. Operates under 60 different banners, so there's little brand risk. On a huge growth trajectory right now that's being discounted by the market. Yield is 4.42%.
Last few years spending big to increase US distribution. For example, one of its biggest customers in Canada is COST. With increased US presence, now has access to the US stores of COST as well. Through this, it can also change distribution, so not as much exposure to tariffs. Total exposure is less than 5%, and working to mitigate that even further.
Half utility, half gas processing. Both segments doing well. Utility side rate base is growing 8%, which is higher than others. Working on large propane export projects off the West Coast. A lot of gas producers are looking for capacity outside the US; Asian markets, for example, have higher pricing. Yield is 3.16%.
(Analysts’ price target is $39.50)WCP has a book value yield of 104.9% and an earnings yield of 12.8%, both good, while it pays a 7.8% dividend yield based on a decent 53.65% payout ratio, and trades at a low 6.88x PE. Compare that to CNQ's 15.33x and Suncor's 11.6x. The street likes the deal, giving WCP an average price target of $13.36, or 42% higher, based on six buys and one hold. Obviously, the street gives the merger a thumbs up, with three analysts assigning an average price target of $13.00, including one upgrade.
