Companies are all around us, facilitating the way we live and producing products that we want. These top companies have such a huge reach that we have all at least interacted or used their services at one point or another in our lives. If not, then you surely know that someone that has!

From Coffee…

Technology…

Fashion…

Or Video Games…

Here are the top services or products that you will use at least once in your life.

💻 Technology
Canada
Shopify Inc. (SHOP-T)
The e-commerce giant that offers a platform for webstores. They are one of the most popular platform and facilitates the interaction between shoppers and sellers. As e-commerce becomes more and more ubiquitous, you will be using Shopify without even knowing it.

Shopify Inc. (SHOP-T) — Stockchase
Shopify Inc. (SHOP-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about SHOP-T: He made some nice $$ on it as it reached former peaks. But the stock blew by those and took out old resistance of 2021 highs. That's a breakout, and it's bullish, so nothing wrong with this stock.

U.S. Stock
Mastercard Inc. (MA-N)
The move away from cash and into digital currency has been a boom for Mastercard. We all have at least one person, if not many, who have a Mastercard credit card.

Mastercard Inc. (MA-N) — Stockchase
Mastercard Inc. (MA-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about MA-N: Likes the long-term secular growth. 50% of world's transactions are still in cash. Seeing more cross-border transactions and leisure travel. Few competitors. Always trades at a bit of a premium. Still likes.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q)
Netflix is the online streaming service that most people know and use. They are starting to focus more on their in-house content which has won awards and keeps subscribers.

Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q) — Stockchase
Netflix Inc. (NFLX-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about NFLX-Q: Reports tomorrow. Best to look at both the 3-year and 1-year charts. Parabolic move off the trendline, now pulling back and basing, and that's OK. His team never buys the day before earnings, because you can get nasty shocks. But generally with NFLX, you don't. Looks constructive so far.Either wait for it…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Visa Inc. (V-N)
If you have a credit card, chances are you have at least a Visa. Along with Mastercard, Visa is the most recognized name in the credit industry.

Visa Inc. (V-N) — Stockchase
Visa Inc. (V-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about V-N: (A Top Pick Oct 22/24, Up 22%) Hasn't trimmed. In a portfolio, not all stocks move at the same time. Some take leadership, while others take a breather. Visa's been successful at gaining market share, inflation also helps. Trades just south of 30x PE, and analysts give it 13% growth. A stable…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Facebook (FB-Q)
Everyone has a Facebook account know and the numbers are still growing, counting 2.4 Billion users. The company has faced some data security concerns and other scandals but this social network is not about to go away anytime soon.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (META-Q) — Stockchase
Meta Platforms, Inc. (META-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about META-Q: (A Top Pick Aug 28/24, Up 53%) Didn't trim this either, in his top 5. 12-month price target of $805. You might write some calls, but it's another one that blew the doors off earnings. If you own it, hold on. For new $$, buy in thirds here, around $730, and anything…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Alphabet Inc. / Google (GOOG-Q)
For a lot of people, Google is the door to the internet. It has become so well-used and well-loved that it’s not uncommon to hear people say “Let me google that”.

Alphabet Inc (GOOG-Q) — Stockchase
Alphabet Inc (GOOG-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about GOOG-Q: (A Top Pick Oct 22/24, Up 54%) Trading at a discount to the S&P average multiple, even after this wonderful run. That's on the back of increased earnings. When earnings increase rapidly but the price does too, the valuation doesn't change, and a company can still remain a very good buy.Depending on…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Apple (AAPL-Q)
The iPhone has been a staple in Apple’s line and has been their key product for some years. If not an iPhone, then you might have a Macbook, or you’ll know someone who has both. Apple products are everywhere and they have a loyal following.

Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase
Apple Inc (AAPL-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AAPL-Q: At this point, pretty fully priced. iPhone 17 seems to have a lot of traction, taking many by surprise. Lots of new features, plus it's in a replacement cycle. If you own it, write some short-dated, 1- or 2-week calls with a strike price of ~$265-270. Not much runway left.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Microsoft (MSFT-Q)
A majority of people learnt to use the internet on a Windows machine and they continue to be a part of our everyday life. Their office suite is standard in the workplace and most people will be familiar with Microsoft.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT-Q) — Stockchase
Microsoft Corp (MSFT-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about MSFT-Q: (A Top Pick Apr 15/24, Up 24%) Steady 10-15% earnings growth, and a lot flows through to FCF. Can easily fund a lot of the AI buildout. Can't actually build fast enough to get the GPUs they need to grow the business, so this might be an issue. Azure still growing almost…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Activision Blizzard (ATVI-Q)
An American video game production house. If you’ve ever played World of Warcraft, Call of Duty or Candy Crush then you’ve come into contact with Activision. They are one of the largest gaming companies.

Activision Blizzard (ATVI-Q) — Stockchase
Activision Blizzard (ATVI-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about ATVI-Q: Hold tight or sell with pending takeover? From today's price, $5.50 is in play. As a shareholder, you have to decide if it's worth holding onto your shares to get your $95 per share. There is a chance that the FTC is successful in challenging the US court order, in which case…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Uber (UBER-N)
It’s become more and more standard for people to call an Uber than a taxi. This revolution of ride-sharing was pioneered by Uber. They have become one of the most well-known ride-hailing platform in the world.

Uber (UBER-N) — Stockchase
Uber (UBER-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about UBER-N: (A Top Pick Oct 02/24, Up 27%) A story of growing cashflow, which will continue to grow. Mixed analyst estimates for next year. Long-run story is intact. Stock's behaving very well. But in general, his firm is reducing exposure to the consumer.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Lyft (LYFT-Q)
Uber’s competitor that offers ride-hailing services. If you’re Canadian, you could soon be using Lyft too as they have announced plans to explore the possibility of expanding here.

Lyft (LYFT-Q) — Stockchase
Lyft (LYFT-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about LYFT-Q: Is surprised with its weakness. Nobody talks about the costs of operating self-driving cars, like insurance, and the costs could be disastrous for Lyft.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Square Inc (SQ-N)
The payment system is known for their ease of use and connectivity. For those who love food trucks, their credit card terminal is usually powered by Square.

Block Inc (SQ-N) — Stockchase
Block Inc (SQ-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about SQ-N: 12-month price target of $83.50, nice long runway. If there's a company that can disrupt payment or banking systems, it's this name. Very strong growth prospects. Agreed to buy Afterpay. February earnings missed on top and bottom, though they did increase guidance (probably due to Afterpay).

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Intel (INTC-Q)
One of the major producers of chips that power our computers, phones and many other technological devices.

Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase
Intel (INTC-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about INTC-Q: No need to go there. Lots of positive news around the name, but it's really just geographic positioning. Floundering, and government buy-in came at the right time -- pure luck. They care in the US, because they want it to be a US manufacturer of chips. NVDA took its crown.Instead, look at…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD-Q)
They produce chips and processors that are used in a variety of tech that we use everyday.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD-Q) — Stockchase
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AMD-Q: Deal with OpenAI, which leads to discussions of circular economics -- does a deal with a promise of business in the future. The deal itself propelled the stock quite a bit higher, but he's not sure it deserves the valuation bump. The effect is quite dilutive. In third place behind NVDA and…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Hong Kong Stocks
Tencent Holdings Ltd (0700-HK)
The makers of Fortnite and many other games. Riot Games is one of their subsidiaries and is known for the League of Legends game.

Tencent Holdings Ltd  (TCEHY-OTC) — Stockchase
Tencent Holdings Ltd (TCEHY-OTC) — Stockchase

Opinion about TCEHY-OTC: He sold it a while ago. China has become uninveitable. Given Trump, this could be delisted. Lots of political risk. The valuation vs. US tech is attractive, though.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

🛍 Consumer
Canada
Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T)
Consumers love affordable goods and Dollarama is the hallmark dollar store that comes to mind for many people. They have been very efficient at providing goods for cheap and the customers love it.

Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) — Stockchase
Dollarama Inc. (DOL-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about DOL-T: Will be affected if Trump doesn't do a deal with China, because that's where they get their stuff. That's as far as he's going to go on fundamentals; charts tell us everything we need to know. Chart shows the uptrend, and then the arc off trendline is a parabolic move. He'd bet that…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Spin Master Corp (TOY-T)
If you have any kids, they must have some toys made by Spin Master. Etch A Sketch and Hatchimals are some of their most well known brands that have won awards.

Spin Master Corp (TOY-T) — Stockchase
Spin Master Corp (TOY-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about TOY-T: A definite series of lower highs and lower lows. Continues to languish, downtrend remains in place. Value trap. Unless something changes, just avoid. So many other good places to put your $$ to work.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Restaurant Brands International (QSR-T)
Canadians love Tim Hortons and their roll up the rim has become somewhat of a tradition for many. Restaurant Brands also counts Burger King and Popeyes among their brands.

Restaurant Brands International (QSR-T) — Stockchase
Restaurant Brands International (QSR-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about QSR-T: She's nervous about the consumer, particularly in Canada. Highly indebted consumer is being more cautious on discretionary spending. If it were just Tim's, she'd be OK with it because she likes the trade-down economics. Burger King is still closing stores, lots of competition and margin pressure.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

U.S. Stock
Under Armour (UA-N)
The sportswear company has capitalized on the athleisure trend and you can’t leave your house without seeing someone wearing their clothing. The company is going through a multi-stage change and are turning around the business.

Under Armour (UA-N) — Stockchase
Under Armour (UA-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about UA-N: A great spec. They need a couple of good quarters. Nike is coming back with a vengeance.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Amazon.com (AMZN-Q)
The go to e-commerce site that dominates online shopping. They also offer AWS which is used by many websites and internet companies. Amazon continues to diversify and grow, and their fundamentals are strong.

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase
Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about AMZN-Q: S&P is at new highs, but not this name. Chart shows what could be a double top (you have 2 peaks where a push higher failed). Old point of resistance ~$180 becomes support, and that's the neckline. If it pulls back and bounces off, then it's probably a consolidation. But if it…

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Starbucks (SBUX-Q)
Starbucks shaped coffee culture around the world and is one of the most recognized coffee shops. They have been loved for their personalizable coffee and grab and go meals.

Starbucks (SBUX-Q) — Stockchase
Starbucks (SBUX-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about SBUX-Q: Hold, or cut it loose? Can't deny that the CEO has pedigree. Question is whether he can apply that success to the SBUX model. Bringing him in is akin to a Hail Mary. Turnarounds are hard. Serious issues, and one is that China is a very big component of their story and…

Walt Disney (DIS-N)
Children love the characters and worlds that Disney has created. With the purchase of Marvel, Disney is well-positioned for their upcoming streaming service. They also own and operate the ABC broadcast network, and various theme parks around the world.

Walt Disney Co. (DIS-N) — Stockchase
Walt Disney Co. (DIS-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about DIS-N: It's been consolidating and has to outperform earnings to break out which he expects, given strong theme parts and streaming. It's neither cheap or pricey at 20x PE.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Nike Inc (NKE-N)
The company has become a symbol of athleticism and sports. They’ve also broken out into the fashion movement, with many models and collectors snapping up their new collections.

Nike Inc (NKE-N) — Stockchase
Nike Inc (NKE-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about NKE-N: (A Top Pick Oct 16/24, Down 15%) He did his "down from cost" review, and found that his turnaround thesis had changed. Three things limit upside. Tariffs. Structural changes in the Chinese business that will be difficult to overcome. Anti-American sentiment. He used the Q1 rally to exit.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Walmart Inc (WMT-N)
Walmart has been doing well and is keeping up with Amazon in the battle for retail shoppers. The big box store is continuing to bring in strong revenues and is investing in their e-commerce platform.

Walmart Inc (WMT-N) — Stockchase
Walmart Inc (WMT-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about WMT-N: (A Top Pick Oct 09/24, Up 29%) Didn't bounce back as much as the market from that April low. But now starting to see some interest in the sector. One of the retailers that will probably best take advantage of AI. If it can get above $104 range, pretty positive.It's a good…

Dollar General Corp. (DG-N)
A well-known dollar store that gives customers a wide variety of choice without breaking the bank. Even in times of recession, these types of stores tend to do relatively well.

Opinion about DG-N: Yesterday they reported a fine quarter: beating revenue, 2.4% same-store sales growth (beating) with strength in every major product category, gross margins beat due to a theft crackdown. Earnings beat and were excellent. DG repeated tat they will keep prices low amid Trump tariffs. DG's customer survey revealed that 60% of their…

America’s coffee and donut house. They are part of millions of people’s days, serving up coffee and snacks.

Dunkin' Brands Group (DNKN-Q) — Stockchase
Dunkin' Brands Group (DNKN-Q) — Stockchase

Opinion about DNKN-Q: Today, the New York Times reported that a private entity wants to buy Dunkin'. Some felt that this stock was already overextended, but he disagrees. Their track record in acquisitions is fantastic. It has survived while peers have fallen away.

Opinion about NTDOY-OTC: (A Top Pick Apr 13/23, Up 22%) Very strong business with sticky user base (kids and grownups love video games). Benefited from demand in Japan equities. New products (Switch) coming out which is good for profits. New content with movies will increase demand for products. Stock valuation cheap relative to peers. Good…

👨‍⚕️ Healthcare
U.S. Stock
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N)
A giant in the healthcare and health tech space. If you’ve ever used a band-aid or other home treatments, chances are it was made by Johnson & Johnson.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) — Stockchase
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about JNJ-N: Great year, so valuation has expanded. Shedding lower-growth businesses, focusing on medical devices and pharma. Those 2 areas are higher-margin businesses, so success would mean multiple could continue to expand. Legal overhang diminished.If you already own it, you can hold it for dividend growth and potential upside. If you don't own, buy…

Pfizer Inc (PFE-N)
One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. They produce vaccines, medicine, and other healthcare products. Just how present is Pfizer in our everyday life? If you’ve used a chapstick, then you have used a product by Pfizer.

Pfizer Inc (PFE-N) — Stockchase
Pfizer Inc (PFE-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about PFE-N: One of the most interesting stocks out there. One of the world's leading pharma companies. Still has a very strong research platform. Earnings have been improving due to cost-cutting. Will probably hit another homerun drug in the next few years. Yield is almost 7%, not in trouble. 

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Merck & Company (MRK-N)
Another of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. They research and market a variety of medicine, vaccines, such as Gardasil, and other over the counter medication.

Merck & Company (MRK-N) — Stockchase
Merck & Company (MRK-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about MRK-N: So many in the space look inexpensive on PE. These businesses are mature, with weaker product pipelines, but generate significant cash. Flipside is that they don't grow. Costs have really risen for all the FDA approval phases, making drug development so much harder.True, Canadians have to go to the US for healthcare…

🚚 Industrials
U.S. Stock
Airbus (EADSY-OTC)
An aircraft maker that we recently featured on our list of Airline Stocks List. They bought the CSeries program from Bombardier last year that should create more lightweight planes.

Airbus (EADSY-OTC) — Stockchase
Airbus (EADSY-OTC) — Stockchase

Opinion about EADSY-OTC: (A Top Pick Aug 27/24, Up 35%) There is an insatiable demand globally for new aircraft so there is a huge backlog. The big hold back is engines. Airbus has 50 to 60 planes waiting for engines. Boeing has had issues. He still owns but is trimming.

stockchase.com stockchase.com

Boeing (BA-N)
The aerospace company has been down since the 737 Max crash but they are in a duopoly and demand for transport is strong. It will not go up in the short-term but worth holding.

Boeing (BA-N) — Stockchase
Boeing (BA-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about BA-N: Ups and downs over the years. OK right now and looks fairly resilient. Trending upward, so far so good. Holding above $200-210 support. You have to play the trend on this one. (Years ago, he got back in thinking all troubles were behind it, and he woke up one morning to find…

Is still -17.6% this year and has been downgraded recently. Total revenue is +3% YOY, driven by core FedEx express business. Adjusted EPS easily beat and…

If you’ve ever received a package from an online retailers, chances are you had some interactions with UPS. They are also a leader in supply chain management solutions.

United Parcel Services (UPS-N) — Stockchase
United Parcel Services (UPS-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about UPS-N: You want to buy stocks when they're down. A deal at 10.5x PE with 11% growth. Don't have to jump in right now, but he'd sell puts ~$75.Bad year, tariff uncertainty, high labour costs, elevated capex, high debt. Market didn't like reduction in business with AMZN, but it's a low-margin business. E-commerce…
