Chose this Top Pick yesterday, and applauds the disciplined fiscal governance announced today. Brand tarnished on both sides of border, but it's fixable. New CEO can reset the strategy. He'd support divesting Charles Schwab. Very competitive Canadian personal and commercial banking franchise, and they may lean harder into this. Discount brokerage may become more competitive. Yield is 5.1%.
(Analysts’ price target is $83.73)Leader. Increasingly into AI chips; recent announcement of 3-nanometer chip puts it on par with NVDA. Yield is 1%, with good 25% pace of growth over last 10 years and good scope to continue. Earnings poised to grow 22% over coming 3 years.
(Analysts’ price target is $249.57)

Was $50 before pandemic, yet financials are virtually the same now as then. Massive upside. Being hit by sentiment left over from pandemic. Continues to tap into the US market. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $27.50)Sold off on fear of autonomous vehicles plus competition. Believes it will be the dominant player. Expensive stock, but business is growing rapidly. Buy and hold. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $90.25)Disciplined management, as shown by recent layoffs. Outside of NA, whole world works on WhatsApp. Introducing AI into all its products. For advertising, you can reach people for pennies a shot. Yield is 0.3%.
If the CEO cosies up on whichever side the wind's blowing, that doesn't put him off. His job is to make money, not to support social causes. He puts his focus on the business and its profitability.
We reiterate GSK as a TOP PICK. We like that cash reserves are holding steady, despite an aggressive retirement of debt. It trades at 22x earnings and supports a 18% ROE. The solid dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. The company is partnering with another pharma to develop Parkinson's disease treatments. We continue to recommend a stop at $27, looking to achieve $41 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 4.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $40.89)We reiterate this non-bank mortgage lender as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings showed a 23% increase in loan originations to $8.5 billion. They are adjusting long term debt to reduce their interest payments by $14 million annually. It trades at 21x earnings and under book value. We continue to recommend a stop at $29, looking to achieve $44 -- upside potential of 33%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $43.75)We reiterate VAL, the world's largest offshore rig operator, as a TOP PICK. Its size makes it the go to offshore rig provider during periods of drilling revival -- which we think may be underway again. It trades at 10x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a robust 32% ROE. We continue to recommend a stop at $40, looking to achieve $60 -- upside potential of 23%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $60.36)Current valuation finally lets him present it as a Top Pick idea. Expanding into credit cards. Sold off last year on CEO stepping down, but former (and excellent) CEO is helping in the interim. Balance sheet in great shape. Grows 20% a year, year in and year out. Trades at 7x PE, almost a distressed multiple, great entry point. Yield is 2.7%.
(Analysts’ price target is $235.53)
In a sweet spot right now. Rents are going up quite a bit (12% YOY), as there's no rent control in many western Canadian provinces, yet vacancies are down substantially. Stellar results last quarter. Sold off with rest of REITs, yet it's not a REIT.
Typically trades at a premium to NAV, but today it's at a discount. Extremely well run, haven't raised a dollar of equity in 20 years. Compounded annually at 18% for 20 years. Yield is 1%.
(Analysts’ price target is $226.00)
Canada's largest provider of frac sand. Demand for frac sand is quite high, especially with LNG coming on. Executing very well. Refinanced debt at lower rate, pushing it out to 2029. Easily an $18-20 stock in the next year. US and potential Canadian governments are much more pro-energy. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $18.00)

World's third-largest retailer. Set apart by narrow product offering, lean supply chain, and good procurement clout. High traffic, repeat business, very high retention at 93%. Very strong same-store sales growth, still not a saturated concept. Great sales growth, earnings growth, compound total return. Despite the run, any day that ends in "y" is a good day to buy. Yield is 0.5%.
(Analysts’ price target is $1035.24)
