Most Anticipated Earnings: IAG-T, BDT-T and more Canadian Companies Reporting Earnings this Week (Nov 04-08)

Opinion about SLF-T: Holding onto this one, despite selling MFC due to range-bound performance right now.

Opinion about IIP.UN-T: Owns shares in business. Current share price a very good time to buy. Would recommend being patient, and holding for the long term. 

Opinion about BTB.UN-T: Most exposure is in Quebec. Lots of office space exposure. But could see a business turnaround. Would recommend buying and holding. 

Opinion about MR.UN-T: Focused on commercial properties in Edmonton. Faced a lot of pressure as we all started working from home. It appears to be being taken private by the parent company. 

Opinion about IFC-T: P&C insurance tends to be more counter-cyclical. People tend to rush in when the rest of the market isn't flying. Now a very reasonable valuation. Hang-up for him is the growth outlook. Largest market share in Canada, so has to go to international markets (which are less certain). Very well run.If you…

Opinion about CIGI-T: (A Top Pick Nov 06/23, Up 63%) There's still upside. CIGI has benefited from rate cuts, since CIGI is in real estate. Peer CBRE announced strong results two weeks including double-digit revenue growth. There seems to be pent-up demand in the market. They use economic downturns not only to buy companies, but…

Opinion about IAG-T: (A Top Pick Nov 13/20, Up 33%) Has started buying back shares and paying dividends. Financials should do well as the yield curve steepens. Valuation is not as compelling as before. Middle of the pack. Has moved to US banks and non-financial banks in Canada.

Opinion about ELF-T: (A Top Pick Aug 12/25, Up 16.6%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with ELF is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $12) to $14 at this time.

Opinion about BEI.UN-T: Bought around $53. Lower-yielding stock by design, and he likes that as it gives them a lot of flexibility. Thinks very highly of management. 72% of net operating income comes from non-rent-controlled markets. Mostly in Alberta, which is affordable for people. Good level to buy today. Yield is 2.4%.

Opinion about DIR.UN-T: Recent action is pretty positive. Down YOY. Whole real estate market's been choppy, bifurcated. Once we get through any corrective phase, this name will probably be well bid. You could even buy today.

Opinion about CRT.UN-T: 92% of rent comes from Canadian Tire, which in turn owns about 70% of the REIT. Very stable, so not a tremendous amount of growth. About 2% topline growth translates into ~3% on the bottom line, and that's all you can expect. Interesting transactions. Thinks highly of management. Safe distribution, just south…

Opinion about AD.UN-T: (A Top Pick Oct 04/24, Up 8%) Has long been a fan. Gives exposure to private equity and pays a decent yield. Has done well over the years. Trades just under book value. Still strongly recommends it.

Opinion about ISC-T: (A Top Pick Feb 19/25, Up 20%) (Note the short timeframe.)  Steady business. Lots of FCF, nice dividend. Good run, but still cheap.

Opinion about FC-T: An alt-mortage lender, typically at 10% and mostly are construction loans on land bought by developers--much riskier. They maintain an 8% yield, so are a pure yield play. Whenever they need to grow, they issue more stock, so you don't get capital gains. 

Opinion about MFC-T: Took profits not too long ago. Range-bound over last 12+ months. In the right spot, and aging demographics will help its asset management. Likes it longer term. Nice dividend yield of ~3.9%, expected to grow over time. He still owns SLF.

Opinion about GWO-T: (A Top Pick Aug 14/24, Up 31%) Are totally different from MFC and SLF which have businesses in China and India. GWO instead has business in Europe where they can buy attractive companies. Is an income stock. Trades at only 11x PE, with strong growth. A core holding. Pays a dividend around…

Opinion about GRT.UN-T: Offers growth, focusing on industrials and e-commerce. A good growth runway.

Opinion about CHP.UN-T: Really good company. Main tenant is Loblaw. 70% of business is retail, 25% industrial, and some mixed-use residential. Typically trades at a premium because it's defensive, now getting much closer to NAV of ~$15.25. Great balance sheet, solid management. Nice growth. Safe. Yield is 5.3% or thereabouts. 

Opinion about CRR.UN-T: Owns mainly brands related to Empire, such as Safeway out West. Also in purpose-built rental, very successful. Loves grocery shopping centres because they provide great income today, but there's a higher and better use sometime (10, 15, 30 years) in future. Trades at wider discount to NAV than CHP.UN. Defensive, but management's had…

Opinion about KMP.UN-T: Very well managed. Company size is in the top 5. Originally focused on the Maritimes, which has seen a lot of population inflows. Expanding into other markets in Ontario such as Kitchener-Waterloo. Likes that they're experienced developers, always improving. Energy-efficient, new construction. Not facing high-rent pressures of others.

Opinion about FRU-T: Likes it for the dividend yield. Don't expect more than that unless the commodity price moves. Has actually performed quite defensively through the oil price selloff. More defensive than your average oil stock.To accumulate, he'd be looking in the $12 range. Your buying opportunity would be 10-15-20% downside from where it is…

Opinion about UNC-T: Making changes to be able to invest more in foreign stocks. Wait to see how they do.

Opinion about DHT.UN-T: Applied similar royalty approach from mining sector to pharmaceutical business. Allows for new development in pharmaceutical business. Capital light business. Second listing in the world of this nature. Very cheap valuation, trading ~1.3x book value. Excellent long term prospects. 

Opinion about ERE.UN-T: Doing the right things, but public market is not rewarding it. Selling assets piecemeal until the REIT is liquidated, now about 50%, and distributed income to investors. Hold on, still lots of value. Could buy comfortably here as it's trading below $2.50 per share, but assets arguably are worth $3.

Opinion about DIV-T: Royalty models do better in bear markets. Costs are nil, so it's a stable business. Well run. Mr. Lube over time has taken market share. Stock's pretty illiquid, make sure it's covering the dividend. Hold or buy. Yield around 8%.

Opinion about DRR.UN-T: Focused on assets in US. Has never traded above its IPO price. Pursuing strategic alternatives; if you own it, see how those go.

Opinion about PAY-T: (A Top Pick Jan 15/24, Down 41%) Probably his worst pick ever on the show 🙁  Big disappointment. Lost biggest customer, which made up ~60% of revenue, and he'd underestimated the likelihood of that happening. Company sold at a good price to FISV.

Opinion about HOT.UN-T: They own U.S. hotels, a high-risk, high-reward stock. He's bearish on hotels, which is struggling with labour costs and keeping labour. HOT.UN has done a good job restoring vacancies, in the low-70s, though their peak was in the 80s. However, they've made up the balance on their hotel rates. Their balance sheet…

Opinion about IVQ.U-T: High risk, high return. Thinks highly of management. Good job growing portfolio. Exclusively in US, but listed in Canada. Healthcare sector. Not obvious what the catalyst will be for the stock. More security owning the debentures. Can be binary as to whether cashflows will support current distribution. Not for the risk-averse.

Opinion about IGM-T: (A Top Pick Mar 06/25, Up 32.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with IGM has achieved its target at $51.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $40) to $47.  

Opinion about CAR.UN-T: Is stable, with apartments remaining strong with steady rent growth.

Opinion about DFY-T: With its growth rate, a good spot to put new money to work.

Opinion about CIX-T: (A Top Pick Sep 11/24, Up 86%) (Taken private 12 August 2025.)

Opinion about GSY-T: Merit on the short report? Really great job building out the business, upgrading loan portfolio, adding adjacent businesses. A complicated business, difficult to get a handle on what's going on under the hood, so you have to have a lot of faith in management.Short report highlighted that issue. That's why his firm…

Opinion about EIT.UN-T: It is a basket of common stocks including big U.S. companies. He is not sure about it but it is doing well for the caller. Income is the focus.

Opinion about AIF-T: Are now a pure-play tech company after selling non-tech businesses. With that cash, are buying back shares. They globally lead in software for data analytics valuing and monitoring commercial real estate assets (banks, insurance companies and property managers are clients). 75% of revenues are recurring and high margin. Trades at a huge…

Opinion about TSU-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research TSU has been under pressure over the years due to its asset impairment from a couple years ago, as well as recently a hardening insurance market. The stock has largely traded sideways for a few years, and it trades at a decent…

Opinion about FSZ-T: It has been weaker in recent months with some challenges with institutional profits. Fees are tied to the asset management business and there has been pressure on fees in the industry. It will have to grow its mandates and investments longer term. Pays a nice dividend.

Opinion about CF-T: Management wants to buy it out but there are two conflicting groups of shareholders. The employee shareholders want the lowest price possible while the outsider shareholders want the highest price possible. This type of conflict is not good. Value it as a whole, not on the split-up of parts.

Opinion about GCG.A-T: (A Top Pick Jul 14/22, Up 43%) Sold off one division for lots of money. Significantly undervalued, worth $60. One of the big banks could come calling. Amazing management. Share buybacks. Huge, regular dividend increases.

Opinion about AX.UN-T: Diversified across type and geography. Recent announcement would see it effectively sold at 44% discount to integral value. Distribution moving from monthly to quarterly, and much lower. Definitely avoid.

Opinion about ECN-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research ECN is, at least, up 58% in the past year (down 16% YTD). Considering its economic exposure and small size, its decline is not really out of line with others. That being said, it is hard to be too bullish here. Consumers…

Opinion about HOM.UN-T: Performed well, but up against a lot of new construction in their markets. Difficult to raise rents in 2024. Trades at discount to NAV. If you like a stock levered to the US economy and US dollar, not a bad name. If you own it, hold. Earnings won't necessarily inflect materially this…

Opinion about PLZ.UN-T: Most assets are in Quebec and the Maritimes. Strip plazas in smaller markets. Historically stable, not a lot of growth. Difficult to raise rents in these small markets, but high construction costs have prevented tenants from moving. So cashflow is growing faster than it has in a long time. Low-risk optionality to…

Opinion about MRD-T: (A Top Pick Nov 23/23, Up 2.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MRD has triggered its stop at $12.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss 4%, when combined with our previous guidance.   

Opinion about BPF.UN-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research BPF.UN is a small company, and may not be a 'blue chip' large company such as FTS. However, it just raised its distribution, is cheap, pays a 6.57% yield and has good management. We would be OK owning it for a small…

Opinion about GDC-T: Prefers Melcor Developments (MRD-T). When there have been housing difficulty like there has been, it’s extremely difficult for stocks like these.

Opinion about OLY-T: (A Top Pick Mar 21/24, Down 3.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with OLY has triggered its stop at $98.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  

Opinion about ONEX-T: Stock's gone nowhere for a fair bit of time. Latest move from 2023 is quite positive, and broke out above $100. With volatility in the markets, these guys pick up great assets and make something of them. Why not capitalize on their expertise? Global, gives you private equity exposure to companies you…

Opinion about BBU.UN-T: Private equity arm of Brookfield. Projects all across the world. Could do quite well going forward.

Opinion about MKP-T: Lending in real estate finance. Very interest-rate sensitive. If you think interest rates are going to rise, as in 2022, then it will underperform significantly. Will do better if rates fall. Thinks the BOC has a bit more to go on that, so there could be a bit more upside.But the stock's…

Opinion about AIM-T: Event driven investment (not long term) based on cash on the balance sheet. Lots of cash on the balance sheet. Estimate sum of parts share value is $7 when currently trading at $4 on the markets.

Opinion about DC.A-T: It has a collection of assets in the real estate sector which could be interesting. The CEO owns a lot. Watch governance in this space. He looks at it every couple of years.

Opinion about TIH-T: Is a lot of excitement baked into this stock and its peers, given the big building projects that will happen. The PE is too high, so would wait for a pullback. The big projects won't happen until later that some expect, he thinks.

Opinion about CJT-T: Air cargo. Solid management. 90% market share in Canada. Revenue has doubled over past 5 years. EBITDA has increased by ~$200M. Quality customers. 68 Canadian cities plus international charters. Volumes not as high as previously, but still making $$ and utilizing planes efficiently. When volumes pick up, won't need to spend capex…

Opinion about ALC-T: Investor's down after 3 months. Anthony runs his firm's "dark horse" fund, and he'd say this name is one of the more interesting ones. The firm owns a bit. Anthony would say the stock's either going to be $10 or $1, but really hard to predict. Story is far from played out.…

Opinion about ECO-T: He is one of the largest shareholders in this. They now have 2 commercial mills up and running with their DuraBind products. They make the binding that goes into IKEA-like furniture. Not into IKEA yet, but there is a good chance they will be. IKEA has announced that they want all their…

Opinion about PPL-T: Complementary to ARX -- it's more of a producer with some infrastructure, whereas PPL is almost 100% infrastructure. Temporarily ran up on news about working with META. Now KKR is selling its minority stake in a JV with PPL, but concern is that PPL is the one who's going to buy it…

Opinion about BDT-T: One issue is that every once in a while they take a fixed-price contract and lose $$ on it. A risk that keeps the valuation low. Sector should have some growth with planned infrastructure spending. Needs a bit more consistency in execution and meeting estimates.It's just OK. He prefers the larger companies…

Opinion about AFN-T: Frustrating, he sold. Numbers good, but continues to have lots of problems in its farm business. Commercial side's been pretty strong. Some of its geographies have been weak. Guided down. Not worth it, look elsewhere.

Opinion about BLDP-T: Renewables at lower cost rates don't work; you need the subsidies. But what does work are large-scale hydrogren projected. Not sure about small-scale like Ballard.

Opinion about MAL-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed a 17% increase in EPS and a 25% increase in gross profits.  The aerospace parts maker relies on the US for less than 25% of its revenues with the balance primarily in Canada and the rest…

Opinion about WJX-T: Medium-quality, in the competitive industrial space. Not a long-term compounder. Exposed to all kinds of risks including tariffs. Capital intensive; real FCF not as high as it appears. 

Opinion about DE-X: He was in on the IPO a few years ago. Wood-burning stoves is a large business for them, plus agriculture and some industrial. They acquire and integrate small businesses in order to lead the market. It pays a high dividend. During Covid, business in some parts spiked, but after Covid, their YOY…

Opinion about TTNM-T: He does not own it because he has a lot of TFII-T. TTR-T struggled with balance sheet issues which seem to have been cleared up. It is a wait-and-see for him.

Opinion about TSL-T: (A Top Pick May 08/18, Down 36%) They were doing things to turn things around. They made net income last year and then Trump tariffs killed them. But they said they are going to turn around the tariffs. He is going to look and see if it is time to buy back…

Opinion about NTR-T: (A Top Pick Oct 09/24, Up 28%) He'd buy this one today. Agriculture is a long-term theme, and this is one of the best names out there. Will be more volatile than a name like WMT, so perhaps you only want a 3% position total. Buy 1% today, and look for a…

Opinion about WSP-T: Why the downturn today? Doesn't know why it's down 3.6% today. WSP is extremely well managed, therefore commands a premium valuation.

Opinion about GFL-T: (A Top Pick Sep 11/24, Up 21%) If he's holding something, it means he'd still buy it today. Sold one business last year, generated lots of cash to bring finances in line. Lots of cashflow to reinvest in the business. Expects strong profitability over next few years, with 20% for at least…

Opinion about SJ-T: Railroad ties are a steady business. The correction into last April was a great buying opportunity. The chart broke out in early 2023 and has been an uptrend. Likes the chart a lot. (Analysts’ price target is $84.50)

Opinion about PBH-T: There is a move away from processed foods, but volumes are still growing. Client SBUX is closing stores, but also opening new ones. His firm started purchasing in March, but hasn't been able to buy full positions because the stock ran away on them. Perhaps on a broader market pullback. Reporting soon, and…

Opinion about MX-T: 8/10 on value. EPS down 32% YOY, revenue forecast to be down 5%. Moderate buy on the street, with significant upside target of 38%. Well below 50-day MA and below 200-day MA. Wait for a solid turnaround to see conviction that it's trending upward. Decent dividend yield.Reports July 30, hinting at potential…

Opinion about CURA-T: Sector as a whole has really improved, and no one's really paying attention. All balance sheets have been cleaned up with better management in place. Lots of room to get more attention, and the space will be volatile. Still a commodity-type play. Undervalued. He'd hold on.

Opinion about SPB-T: Recent acquisition got them into compressed natural gas and renewable nat gas. Belief is that propane has matured, but alternative energy is emerging as a growth area. Erratic earnings. Plunged substantially. Total compounded shareholder return for a decade is just over 1%; over 20 years, it's 0.5%. You're trading income for capital. Yield…

Opinion about NFI-T: He owns it in the Canadian portfolio. There is a supply shortage of buses and it has a new big order from Toronto. There have been some liquidity challenges but they are abating. They make any kind of bus but the electric ones carry the biggest price premium so they can make…

Opinion about IFP-T: The lumber industry in Canada has been in the line of sight for tariffs for the past decade. Housing prices have depressed the price of lumber for the past 2 to 3 years. One he likes in this sector is Doman Building Materials which is more of a processor of lumber. It…

Opinion about CHR-T: Owns shares in company. Has done well the past year. Expecting further upside going forward. Dividend is expected sometime soon. Subcontracting business from Air Canada very good for reliable revenues. Price multiple not as high as it should be. 

Opinion about GRA-T: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Momentum is solid. The fundamentals are improving along with profitability. Debt relative to cash is also improving. Market cap has reached $520M with insiders owning 10%. Not profitable yet although revenue is ramping up. Expensive but revenue growth looks good. Unlock Premium - Try 5i…

Opinion about CKI-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The stock has really jumped over the last month and the most recent news we see is relating to CKI renewing its NCIB (share buyback plan). CKI plans to buyback 5% of outstanding shares over the next year. Results vary significantly period-to-period…

Opinion about WEF-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research WEF has rallied with interest rates, which help the sector, but is still down 26% for the year and 37% over 52 weeks. Note the dividend was cancelled in November 2023 and none is paid currently. This week WEF announced it would…

Opinion about BOS-T: Won lots of contracts during pandemic, huge tailwind. Multiple has pulled back. In current environment, countries are spending more on gas masks, overboots, etc. Absolutely believes demand will pick up. Large contracts to be won, but the bid process has lots of moving parts. Quite bullish on the name.

Opinion about IAN-CSE: Comparable to Medmen Enterprises. American-based sales of legal cannabis, with operations in six states, including the 48 million people of Massachusetts, Florida and New York. They have one of the 10 licenses in New York and one of the 13 in Florida. This is one of her largest holdings. Â There have…

Opinion about SWP-T: He sold his shares a few years ago, because SWP would need a lot of capital to move their plant (to meet higher demand). The results have been pretty good, but the prices have also risen. Also, they face competition and need more capital to complete further expansion. So, they have taken…

Opinion about BBD.B-T: Pleased with performance. Continues to like. Runup this month due to contract to deliver 50 aircraft. Pure play on private aviation. A generation or half a generation ahead of competitors in medium- and long-range aircraft. It's the best on a range of metrics, and its money-is-no-object customers don't comparison shop. After-market parts…

Opinion about GTII-CSE: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research With continued negative stock momentum, some debt, and not a lot of growth expected (estimated EPS this year less than 2021) it is hard to get too excited about GTII. There has been some insider buying which is a good sign, but…

Opinion about EIF-T: Quite the compounder, albeit a sleepy one. Diversified businesses, and they don't all work in sync. Management has a private-equity mindset -- buy undervalued companies, deploy free cashflow within the business or make acquisitions. Firing on all cylinders. Bright outlook.

Opinion about LAS.A-T: Good business. Packaged food and juice. Success in US growing through acquisition. Pressure from input commodity costs. Things seem to have stabilized from Covid margin pressures. Strong balance sheet. Not overly liquid. Fairly reasonable valuation. On his radar; if it pulled back, might take a position.

Opinion about CAS-T: Huge new facility is coming onstream, and fundamentals in containerboard are more solid than in the very competitive tissue market. Facility over budget, so will take a while to get a return. Focused on debt reduction.

Opinion about DBM-T: Supplier to HD. Has gone down on recessionary fears. One of the big holdings in his income fund. Canada and US need to build more houses. Well run. Not a risky business. Big fat dividend yield of almost 9%.

Opinion about ANRG-T: It took on a lot of debt after the IPO in 2021 and almost failed but are now re-capitalized and can turn around. The new chairman continues to buy stock. It is in the renewable natural gas sector where organic waste is turned into energy. Has $260 million in backlog and revenue…

Opinion about CRP-T: (A Top Pick April 3/14. Down 12%.) A fully integrated agricultural company with a railroad to their elevators along with production of legumes and wheat. Thinks it should deliver quite nicely this summer because of what is going on in California. Feels drought is going to haunt us from a food inflation…

Opinion about SXP-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research EPS of 9c missed estimates of 17.5c; revenue of $72M missed estimates by 2%. EBITDA missed by 11%. SXP is down significantly over the last twelve months by ~42% and recent earnings pointed towards declining profits and revenues. Revenue fell $6M. Earnings…

Opinion about LCFS-T: Flagship renewable diesel project coming online next year.

Opinion about EXRO-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The company saw a big pop in 2021 on EV hype for the Coil Drivers it sells. It has never really had significant revenues or positive free cash flows. If EV demand booms the stock could do better, but overall we are…

Opinion about FLY-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Profit of 1c per share beat estimates of -1c. Revenue of $7.2M beat estimates by 11.4%. EBITDA was positive $1.17M vs an expected loss of $305,000. Sales rose 186% so certainly a nice improvement. Margin was 67% up from 49.5%. Profit was the highest…

Opinion about HRX-T: Very strong Canadian company that doesn't get enough attention from the markets. Last quarter starting to prove business prospects. Landing gear in very high demand within airline sector. Trading at discount to other names in the sector. Very high barriers to entry within the business. Margins continue to expand - will be…

Opinion about CL-CN: CURELF-N vs. CL-X. He really made a focus on the US for cannabis. He thinks the US MSOs have a tremendous amount of room to go. CURELF-N is one of the leaders. CL-X just did a deal in California, which is one of the biggest markets out there. He likes both of…

Opinion about WEED-T: Cannabis has had weak returns on capital and he has seen too much capital invested and destroyed. He doesn't see it as a space to invest in. Wants to see major consolidation and improvement in regulation.

Opinion about TBL-T: There were a couple of subtle things went on with the trust conversion which discouraged a lot of investors. An illiquid stock. Most of their exposure is in B.C. and Alberta where housing is still very strong. Thinks we're at the peak of a cycle so don't have it as a long…

Opinion about XLY-T: Their model is based on getting royalties off the cannabis companies they produce. They've done some smart deals and have been able to put pressure on producers who needed money. Not sure why it moved so down today.

Opinion about TPZ-T: Very tied to TOU, in terms of royalties and infrastructure. TOU is reducing its stake over time, which should help trading liquidity. Well run. Likes gas processing and royalty assets. He owns similar companies in the space, but those don't have concentrated exposure to one company. Add on weakness, don't trim here.

Opinion about KEY-T: Bought at $25. Sees it going further. Likes it. Pays attention to its balance sheet and grows its cashflows. Some are concerned about % of revenues from marketing business. But with the Plains acquisition, marketing exposure is hedged. Very solid management, good growth opportunities. Hold, with no problem buying here.

Opinion about MEG-T: Heavy oil producer. Strathcona put in a hostile bid -- liquidity is an issue, assets are not as high quality as either MEG or CVE. Board has recommended the CVE offer, even though on paper it's a lower bid. CVE offer would provide better synergies.He sold MEG on limited upside, and happy…

Opinion about IPCO-T: Also a Lundin Group company. Consistent in buying back shares. Stock's substantially undervalued. Heavy oil producer. Potential beneficiary of de-bottlenecking Keystone. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $20.27)

Opinion about PXT-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research PXT has staged a small recovery, up 30% YTD now. It remains very cheap at 8X earnings, with an 8.13% dividend. The balance sheet remains strong, with $75M net cash. Financials are still lower than they were several years ago, but consensus…

Opinion about SOIL-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research At less than 4X earnings, the stock is one of the cheapest within the sector (no dividend). The stock is down 21% YTD and 35% over one year. Debt is pretty high at 2X cash flow. Revenue has grown nicely, but earnings/cash…

Opinion about VET-T: It is trading where it should. There are headwinds with European gas prices. It has struggled quite a lot but the last quarter was reasonable. You should probably sell it for something with more growth.

Opinion about CEU-T: (A Top Pick Nov 05/25, Up 15%) Despite volatile energy prices, they have held their margins. Their US business accounts for 70% of revenue. Net debt is under 1x EBITDA, leaving room for buybacks. Valuations are attractive. Sees 12% upside.

Opinion about FEC-T: (A Top Pick Jun 15/23, Down 16.7%)Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with FEC has triggered its stop at $10.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 18%, when combined with previous recommendations. 

Opinion about CFW-T: Oilfield services firm that has big fracturing technology presence. Horizontal drilling and shale boom not as strong. Very dependent on energy prices. Lots of assets that must be carried on the books. Not investing at this time. 

Opinion about PNE-T: Nothing wrong with the assets or management. It's just the market cap. Current environment is not conducive to meaningful outperformance by small caps. Small-cap model in Canada is essentially obsolete, they just can't afford to drill. Consider taking the tax loss. See his Top Picks.

Opinion about PRQ-T: They have two plays. It is pressured because of debt load. Production came down in the third quarter and should now increase. They should knock debt down with the sale of two non-core assets next year. It needs a catalyst before the market will revisit this story.

Opinion about IPO-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research IPO is a small cap oil and gas company. It is down about 10% over the last year, but has been trending up year-to-date. IPO also pays out a high yield at 7.7% and is cheap on a forward price-to-earnings basis at…

Opinion about SHLE-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The stock is exceptionally cheap at 4X earnings but that has not prevented a 13% YTD decline. The balance sheet is a bit levered but nothing too concerning. Insiders own 14% and have been net buyers in 2025. It's interesting, but very…

Opinion about GXE-T: Company share price is reflective of lack in interest in small energy names (market cap too small). Company needs to sell itself in order to generate value. Better options for investors out there. 

Opinion about JOY-T: They brought in a partner this summer to help develop the East Duvernay. They still have too much debt. She is watching it but not recommending it. Not everything is cheap in this sector, still have to selective.

Opinion about BNE-T: Their debt has always been an issue. Trading at in-line levels for their multiple. Does not check his boxes in his fund.

Opinion about TRP-T: (A Top Pick Sep 05/24, Up 40%) This market will make anyone look good 🙂  One of the largest pipelines in NA, focused on natural gas. Strong future, as access to overseas markets will allow those markets to reduce reliance on coal, for example. We still need to source power when the…

Opinion about OVV-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate OVV, with production assets in the prolific Montney, Permian and Anadarko basins, as a TOP PICK.  Their business is modelled on $55 WTI and $2.75 /mmbtu natural gas.  They are generating $1.65 billion in free cash flow.  It trades at 19x earnings and 1.1x book. …

Opinion about PSI-T: (A Top Pick Jul 30/24, Down 10.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PSI has triggered its stop at $15.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  

Opinion about CJ-T: Very high dividend yield, just under 9%. Gamechanger will be the development of the SAGD program, which will add to its existing base and probably more than double FCF. Cash can be used to de-lever and build the next project. SAGD is modular, so they can add more once first one is…

Opinion about KEC-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Trading is thin, despite its $480M market cap. Sales had a big drop, to $114M from $159.5M, as prices declined. EPS fell more than half to $1.09 vs $2.57. Production of 24,707 fell slightly. With lower prices, the only way to improve…

Opinion about TOT-T: Well-run company. Always trades at a bit of a discount to the sector because of the nature of the business. Not a bad one to get into.

Opinion about RBY-T: Doesn't believe in quality of assets. Company too new to determine whether a good investment. Good management, but not buying shares. Exploration oriented company.

Opinion about QEC-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research QEC is a very small oil and gas company with market cap at $94.27M. QEC had a flat year in terms of price in 2023 but did display some volatility. Both revenues and net income margins had negative growth in Q3. The…

Opinion about MCB-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research MCB provides services and equipment to the energy sector, such as drilling equipment and replacement parts. It also makes heavy-duty trailers. It is small at a $116M market cap, and cheap at 11.5X forward earnings. It has a decent dividend yield of…

Opinion about CNE-T: A Colombian natural gas producer which enjoys a favourable U.S. price of US$3.60. Production will rise as more customers and pipeline capacity are found. There's a shortage of natural gas in the country. It pays a nice dividend of 5.6%. He has a $5 target. Buy below $3.40. (Analysts’ price target is…

Opinion about OYL-X: Did a shareholder vote and Pacific Rubiales (PRE-T) will be assuming the management of the company. Drilling off the coast of Guyana. Got to about 1000 feet of the target. Because of gas creating a lot of pressure, they couldn’t finish the drilling. Potential is still there and could be a world-class…

Opinion about PMT-T: Pengrowth (PGF-T) and Perpetual (PMT-T)? Had some challenges with their balance sheet over the last couple of years with the collapse in oil prices. This one would be a little riskier. If you really see a big jump in commodity prices, this probably has a lot more upside than Pengrowth (PGF-T).

Opinion about KEL-T: Has deep assets, which they won't sell for 9-12 months, as they add others. He can't own every midcap, though this is good.

Opinion about E-T: Very high margins, using nat gas instead of diesel for generators in its power division. Power division is growing quickly. Chart is beautiful, more room to run. Anticipates a $4-5 stock.

Opinion about HWO-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Splitting the company into two to separate the PNG business makes sense to us. The return of capital could be as much as 76c per share. This all sounds attractive...BUT....it is already a very small company. With less capital, and a split,…

Opinion about ORA-T: Had some execution problems in a number of their mines. Also recently lost their CEO. Since then, he has dramatically reduced his position. At some time he will increase his holdings but there is no rush at this time.

Opinion about VNP-T: Based in Montreal. Supply specialty semiconductors and performance materials. Customers such as a manufacturer of solar panels. FSLR in the US, one of VNP's biggest customer, guided down. Stock dipped. Need to get a handle on tariff impact. Not growthy enough for him.

Opinion about K-T: Investment has doubled, sell? Trades at 10-15% discount to peers, so there's re-rating upside. High geopolitical risk until sold Russian assets in 2022. Now 80% North/South America focus. Has become more consistent with operational beats over last 2 years, and eliminated almost $2B of debt. FCF yield is over 10%. Great assets in…

Opinion about PAAS-T: Is bullish metals. Is one of the largest silver producers, based around the world, with strong production. Is increasing output in Latin America. A little sensitive to commodity price swings. 

Opinion about ARTG-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research The valuation looks fine here and the company is going from no revenues to high revenues this coming year. There are some execution risks because of this but things appear to largely be on track. Add in a strong backdrop for metals…

Opinion about ERO-N: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research ERO in June reached commercial operations at its Tucuma mine, which is good, but often results in some investors selling on news. Then, the copper market this week was sent into turmoil with Trump's import tax plan. ERO has received a couple…

Opinion about DPM-T: Dundee is nowhere as large as Barrick, Franco Nevada or Agnico Eagle, which comprise a third of the Canadian materials sector, but it has outperformed it so far in 2024. Dundee shares have rallied 8.5% in this time period while Barrick is down over 16%. Also, Dundee holds more potential upside. Consensus…

Opinion about LIF-T: Pretty-high-quality iron ore deposit right here in Canada, long-life asset. Some concerns from tariffs around the steel business. Nice dividend. With share price off, good time to look at it.

Opinion about EDR-T: Silver has disappointed investors over the last 3 years; all are in the penalty box. He's attracted to silver. Portfolio comprised mainly of second-tier mines, and he prefers larger mines at the lower end of the cost curve. When the market turns around, and it will, EDR will participate.

Opinion about ORE-X: In Western Africa, this miner is looking for funding. It is not the exciting part of the cycle as they are in the de-risking mode. Investors are looking for projects that double resources. Institutional investors are not yet stepping in the space.

Opinion about NCP-T: A small, very speculative land holder in Canada. Higher nickel prices may push this stock higher

Opinion about FNV-T: Likes commodities right now. It was stuck forever around $200, and now we've seen a classic breakout and it's pulling back. Assuming the neckline is $200, if it can hold $200 and bounce off it positively, he'd buy. Great-looking chart as long as it can hold the neckline.

Opinion about AGI-T: It might have more upside in the short term. Is bullish gold, though the gold stocks have moved up a lot lately.

Opinion about BTO-T: New mine took longer and cost more, so it's underperformed the group (trading ~20-30% discount, and should re-rate). It'll be quite an important project once it gets up to full steam in 2027. Adds nice geographical diversification. Significant FCF should result. Yield is just over 1.5%.On his radar. Will probably add once…

Opinion about OR-T: (A Top Pick Mar 11/24, Up 67%) Everybody loves gold now. Still only trades at 1.1x NAV. Cheaper on valuation than AEM, and still growing. Gossip that one of its downed mines might come back, so that's a catalyst. He'll always have an allocation to gold. See his Top Picks.

Opinion about TXG-T: Has traded at a big discount to the group for a long time, then made a big move the past year. One Mexican mine is shutting down naturally, but will be replaced by another mine, so they aren't losing production levels. Have extended reserves overall to maintain production mid-2030s. Are generating free…

Opinion about RUS-T: Decent dividend. Valuation's pretty attractive. Likes that it's been around a long time and has seen multiple recessions. Cut dividend 20 years ago and never forgave themselves because of how the stock reacted. Doesn't take on a lot of material risk, just a refabricator and turns over inventory quickly. Steel prices may…

Opinion about OSK-T: (A Top Pick Mar 03/20, Down 6%) Operate a Quebec mine which coming along, and produces 6 million high-grade ounces underground. They're targeting September for their resource update, and the feasibility study in 2022. The right people are in place. He thinks there's more exploration to come in this mine. He used…

Opinion about WDO-T: (A Top Pick Jul 24/25, Down 6.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WDO has triggered its stop at $16.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 6%, when combined with our previous guidance.   

Opinion about SSRM-T: One of the most senior producers of silver. Silver is better than gold, as the bulk of silver production comes from copper mines. Silver just crossed $24, and there's lots of upside. SSRM has a $28 price target. He wants something that will benefit once inflation is realized.

Opinion about ASTL-T: Amid new tariff threats. Go back to the 2017 timeframe and look at the last time he did this with steel and aluminum. Cheap for a reason. Need a high tolerance for risk and volatility to put a position on right now. These names are down, compared to US names that are…

Opinion about ODV-X: It's time will likely come, but he has a hard time understanding the geology of the project. He doesn't own stocks where he doesn't understand the geology. He holds OR instead. 

Opinion about FDY-T: Looks like an interesting exploration/development company.Will watch company to see how results pan out.Financial certainty a concern.Might buy shares down the road.

Browse a daily summary of experts opinions on stocks and stock investment information.

Opinion about FF-T: (Market Call Minute.) Great execution with a $500 million market cap. Thinks it is ahead of itself. It is expensive.

Opinion about AMX-X: $45 million market cap. It has a gold project in western Quebec and hitting some high-grade at less than a meter, 600+grams/tonne. Their issue is continuity: will this grade continue? Now, it is an interesting play. Brent Cook: It's a narrow, high-grade vein but could be diluted which is a concern.

Opinion about LGD-T: Likes management. Note that there is nothing immediately happening. It’s not something to chase, but just accumulate over the summer. Turkey is not bad at all, it is a democratic system. Their mining code is working. He thinks they have permitted 10 mines in 10 years. This company is technically very, very…

Opinion about MPVD-T: Sees no change to the dividend theory. The 3 Irish business millionaires actually control the company and are holding it long-term for the dividends. The company has some costs going on disadvantaging it. The diamond sector itself has not produced really stellar performance. This is a “wait and see”.

Opinion about MGM-X: Doesn't like the sole risk exploration. If the story develops the people behind the company have the financial connections. The terrain is legendary gold ground. he can not make the data work for hi to buy it.

Opinion about ABX-T: Has lagged peers forever, now starting to get noticed. Started picking up and breaking out. Next resistance is ~$50-55. Looks incredible technically. Yield is 1.75%. (Analysts’ price target is $46.55)

Opinion about WPM-T: Still owns gold through ETFs. Rates 9/10 in her book. Shares enjoy a great upward trend. Continues to hold this.

Opinion about CCO-T: Uranium pricing is moving higher. Great acquisition on nuclear from Westinghouse. First of the uranium companies to break out to new highs a couple of years ago. Giant structural base. Pricing power and volume growth. Core in his portfolio, not speculative. Will benefit over next few years from the environment we're in.…

Opinion about LUG-T: Highly ranked stock acting extremely well. RSI doing well. Stock's currently in an uptrend, and gold is trending upward. Gold is consolidating around $3000. 

Opinion about EDV-T: Owns shares in company. Troubled by CEO replacement, however assets in West Ghana are valuable. Will continue to hold. Has lots of value in company. 

Opinion about IMG-T: (A Top Pick Jun 04/25, Up 80%) (Note the short timeframe.) Inflection point in 2026, where FCF will be a wall of cash. Will be one of the top 5 mines in Canada once it hits full operation. Still a takeover candidate.

Opinion about AG-N: More potential upside to get to old highs of ~$23-25. It could get there before it sees any real trouble. If it's 10% in  your portfolio, he'd trim big-time. So it's more of a judgement call than a technical one at this point.

Opinion about DML-T: Expects the uranium market to do extremely well for next 5 years. Has a permitted mill, which is hard to obtain. Second-best asset in the Athabasca Basin, after CCO. Only reservation is that its project is deep, rather than on surface, using technology he's not familiar enough with to be confident of…

Opinion about SSL-T: Mistakes in capital deployment were made about 3 years ago. Believes Turkiye mine will go into production, and cashflow will really change this company. Now using FCF to pay down debt rapidly. Either share price goes up, or company is taken over.

Opinion about FOM-X: Materials are currently being revalued. Commodity prices improving. The multiple investors are prepared to pay is expanding. The value of what's in the ground is expanding. Owns a bit of this name. Likes the friendly jurisdiction. Company is big enough for almost any institutional investor to purchase. Not the leader in the group,…

Opinion about SVM-T: Part of syndicate that brought company to markets. Financials in China a little opaque, but company has been generous to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Would recommend buying. 

Opinion about ALS-T: She likes the royalty models which don't have the risks of operating mines. Its copper, potash, etc. covers the structural growth sectors. She sees 24% upside from here. It has steady cash flow, low net debt and a weaker U..S. dollar is good for it. It scores 9 out of 10 for…

Opinion about ERD-T: The fact that TECK.B is a shareholder speaks well for it, and he should pay attention to that. Explores and develops copper and gold in Mongolia.

Opinion about AOT-X: He owns this. It went through a major acquisition last year to consolidate their holdings in Northern BC. This mine will become productive in the next couple of years. The issues they have had are being resolved. He will continue to hold it.

Opinion about ITH-T: Primary asset is an Alaskan property Livengood. Have been in the process over the last 3-4 years of proving it reserves. Interesting way to play gold because of volatility of a junior so be careful what you allocate to it. High potential development and pretty well developed infrastructure setting. Obvious takeover target…

Opinion about BSX-T: They have a large Brazilian gold deposit. The problem here are indigenous people challenges there and a government contract that pays out a crazy amount to the managers. This payout is not aligned to the shareholders' interests. Then again, it's a cheap stock vs. gold in the ground.

Opinion about DIAM-T: They have option agreements with major partner Rio Tinto, but these have been under dispute for the past year. It's worth tens of millions of dollars. The stock has fallen because of this battle; investors have lost patience. He owned this before the legal battle and didn't want to wait for it…

Opinion about AMM-T: (Market Call Minute.) In a big gold system and he likes it.

Opinion about MTA-X: To manage risk, he sets up his portfolios starting with the biggest, which is FNV. More diversified than OR. He also owns OSK proper.

Opinion about ELR-T: Shut down production recently. This type of situation is what usually happens at the bottom of a cycle, although this one may not be around to enjoy the upside of the cycle.

Opinion about KRN-T: (Market Call Minute.) Feels the potash market is oversupplied.

Opinion about CVO-T: Good job overall, well run. Exposed to some of the AI trends. Sizable competition for what they do. He's conservative on whether it can differentiate itself in the coming years. Must show it can get the big, multi-year contracts.

Opinion about NVEI-T: Has lagged the Canadian tech sector. Used to own, wouldn't be back in soon. On its recent partnership with ADBE, he tends to own the big payment systems like MA and Visa, big beneficiaries of the resurgence in the economy. 

Opinion about GIB.A-T: Investor parents in late 80s, this name is down this year. Price target ~$155. Adviser pushing to sell and move into silver. Son is worried. Every client situation is different. For example, do these investors have their income needs taken care of or are they close to the edge? So he'll just…

Opinion about DND-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Plantro has pulled its bid, so it certainly might become a seller. Frankly, the stock has become a bit of a basket case. It has been up for sale. Management has revolved. It buys back stock and then issues stock. But the…

Opinion about KSI-X: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research We like KSI, and we even covered the name in one of our latest podcast episodes (link to our discussion on KSI can be found here). KSI is a $630M healthcare SaaS company that provides solutions for data and document management. Good sales…

Opinion about DRT-T: Customized, prefabricated environmental office interior solutions. High net cash position. Significant upside because of their flexible business model. Surge in office reconfiguration taking place across North America. Top management. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $3.46)

Opinion about SEV-T: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Backlog reported looks better with $4-5M in revenue expected in the second half of this year. They have received a large new order from China. They also secured a $5M in equity financing. Risks are high with market cap at $28M and…

Opinion about ART-X: 3D holograms. A year ago, it was 12-14 cents. Fallen off the radar, such a shame. Cutting edge. Product is pricey. Lots of pharma companies use it.

Opinion about LSPD-T: Former darling, now struggling in a hyper-competitive space. Management changes mean morale's not great. Chart doesn't show much reason to be optimistic. Lots of rumours, nothing's come to fruition. Never want to be too early on a big turnaround; need to see a few quarters of positive momentum.Cheap, but that's not always…

Opinion about DND-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research Plantro has pulled its bid, so it certainly might become a seller. Frankly, the stock has become a bit of a basket case. It has been up for sale. Management has revolved. It buys back stock and then issues stock. But the…

Opinion about TC-T: Sold because its ROIC returns started to get a bit wonky. In fact in last 3 years, ROIC has been negative. Satellite internet access has eaten the lunch of fibre. Hard to form a moat around its domain business. Wait for ROIC to be in excess of 20% for at least 3…

Opinion about SYZ-T: It is Calgary based but the management team is in the U.S. It is involved in government education and charity software. It has had some difficulties in the past but is back to being undervalued and growing with the management team change. He is looking for revenue growth of 20 to 30%.…

Opinion about CSU-T: These guys buy SaaS as their general business model. Some concerns in Silicon Valley and other places that AI is going to replace a lot of what SaaS can do. That could be a problem for a company like this one. It's been a great play for the past decade.Going forward, there…

Opinion about T-T: His firm buys market leaders in sectors that are being positively revalued. Multiple in this sector has been contracting for a long time. Big question is where does revenue come from? Very hard to turn around a stock in a weak sector that's underperforming. If you can't rally in a bull market, what…

Opinion about DCBO-T: The price target is a high $74. He's stayed away, because it's a crowded space including the big players.

Opinion about TIXT-T: It has dropped 90% since its IPO. A buyout from Telus has been proposed so you could hold it until the deal closes for a bit more.

Opinion about QTRH-T: They dominate US market share in electronic toll roads, and lead in weight-in-motion in trucks. This space is getting more technology driven. They had low-margin contracts a few years ago, but those are turning around, so we will see wider margins. Recent quarters are guiding towards that under new management. They have…

Opinion about PZA-T: Monthly dividend of 7.75 cents. Pretty range-bound, between $12-15, for a couple of years. Looks as though it's pulled back into the middle. Steady stock, steady and mature business. More of a yield play. Yield is 7%.

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.

Opinion about PET-T: (A Top Pick Nov 12/24, Up 40%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PET has triggered its stop at $35.50.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment gain of 31%, when combined with our previous guidance.  

Opinion about SOY-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research We think investors can wait. With a highly leveraged balance sheet, very weak momentum, economic concerns and a history of mixed results and losses, we do not think it is the type of stock to own in the current market environment, especially…

Opinion about TSAT-T: We like the sector, and the stock is cheap and acting well. We would be OK buying. We like the sector, and the stock is cheap. We would be OK buying. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free  

Opinion about RAY.A-T: Is fairly illiquid, but profitable and pays a 6.6% dividend. Price targets are high, so there's a runway ahead. But two-thirds of the business is concentrated in Canada, and a big risk is if song royalties rise. It's profitable though. He's watching it.

Opinion about DCM-T: Small player in packaging, did large acquisition last year. Growing quickly. Very cheap. If you need to own something in the space, look at this name.

Opinion about SIS-T: Accessibility industry. Considered a discretionary name, but she sees it as needs-based. The aging population wants  to age at home gracefully, delaying moving into a retirement home as long as possible. Poster child for tariffs, but many products are FDA-regulated (and, so, tariff exempt).  Stock's now about where it was prior to April…

Opinion about CGX-T: Worth keeping? Well managed. With NFLX, video on demand, and the changing landscape of movies, it's not the same company it used to be. Could be more assets to divest, and could capitalize on real estate. Still, not sure what next move is. Look to exit.As to what to move to, though…

Opinion about LEV-N: He sees it as a short. The stock has moved down for two years. The revenue growth has been impressive but not even close to profitable.

Opinion about ADW.A-T: Stores may or may not be impacted by Ontario government rolling out more retail locations. The Pellers stepped down from the board, possibly planning a bid to privatize the company but he's not really sure.

Opinion about BYL-T: Notoriously volatile. BYL has had a rough ride in recent years, but has fixed their balance sheet after selling their money-losing mobile business based in Korea. Are now focused on embedded antennas, infrastructure and satcom. They just announced a big stadium deal in South American for their wireless antennas, in which they…

Opinion about TGO-T: (A Top Pick Mar 26/18, Up 97%) They smartly bought some spectrum rights a few years ago, and now they're on the fringe of the 5G spectrum. So the value of their spectrum rights will be realized later this year. He took profits, and would be lightening up on this now as…

Opinion about BCE-T: (A Top Pick Nov 12/24, Down 6%) Still sees it as a pretty asset-rich company. Dividend's been reset. Stock has attracted a few upgrades. Bounce from $29 to $34 is already pretty significant. Happy to buy down here where nobody wants it. It's one of those durable companies, need for telecommunications is…

Opinion about STN-T: Sector should have some growth with planned infrastructure spending. In the space, he prefers larger companies like this one in terms of safety, especially as we don't know which way the economy's going to go in the next couple of years. Large companies also have a global footprint, so US tariffs are…

Opinion about SAP-T: Delivered a good quarter.

Opinion about CTC-T: Owns ATD instead. They just announced a strategic loyalty rewards with Tim Horton's, a big step. They beat estimates last earnings. Have a growing loyalty ecosystem, but is concerned with big ticket items and the effect of tariffs. Sees 6% upside.

Opinion about CTC.A-T: Well diversified. 200-day MA continues to push higher, with stock price above that (but has fallen to meet the 200-day with the Q2 miss). Cautious tone on health of Canadian consumer and economy, with our unemployment up. E-commerce and discount competition.He prefers DOL.

Opinion about QBR.A-T: It's cheap, and surprised shares haven't moved higher. They will buy wireless assets from Shaw to become the #4 player in Canadian telcos. Valuation is lower than its peers.

Opinion about QBR.B-T: (A Top Pick Jan 23/24, Up 3%) Benefiting from the Freedom Mobile purchase. Able to expand in Ontario and Western Canada without deploying too much capex. Very high ROE and free cashflow, allowing them to lower debt and obtain investment-grade rating on bonds. Aggressively buying back shares. Best-performing telecom stock this year.

Opinion about PRMW-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Pure-play water exposure; sustainability trend. Strong position globally; renewed water focus. Attractive valuation; good dividend. Debt recently lowered but still high. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Opinion about LNF-T: How do you feel about the consumer? This name is based on sentiment and consumer's comfort with buying big-ticket items. Dominant player in Canada. He wants companies that can grow 20+% a year, and he struggles with being able to sell 20% more couches, etc. Conservative choice. Don't buy right now.Just because…

Opinion about GOOS-T: Good proxy for health of consumers in Canada. Luxury item that is discretionary. Hard to excited about this style of business. Not seeing major spending from average population. Better options for investors out there. 

Opinion about KBL-T: Laundry, primarily for hospitals (a guaranteed business, and guaranteed to increase with demographics). Mainly Canada. Made a major UK acquisition (more in hospitality, economically cyclical) earlier in the year, and the equity issue pushed down price of stock. Small, sleepy company. Doesn't usually do a lot of acquisitions or equity issues. Last quarter…

Opinion about Y-T: (A Top Pick Nov 22/18, Up 12%)Convertible 8% 2022 bonds He owned the Yellow senior bonds, but then moved into these convertibles. Most of their revenues are in digital, but that has struggled. New management has cut costs a lot until free cash flow now stands around $100 million this year. Their…

Opinion about HLF-T: Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research HLF hit a multi-year high as the Mrs. Pauls and Van de Kamp acquisition looks solid. It continues HLF's plan to diversify its global supply chain, and it already co-manufactures for the brands. There will be a small 1c negative impact to…

Opinion about ICE-T: This hardly trades at all. Insiders own a very big chunk of it, about 75%. They own ice rinks and an adult hockey league. Revenue has been mostly flat for the past 5 years. There is about $45 million in net debt on a $50-$60 million market cap company. Pays a 2%…

Opinion about FTS-T: Bought on the April dip, but stock hasn't done much. Sell? If you bought in April around $55 and today it's trading ~$72, that's about 10+%. Plus you get a 3-4% dividend yield, with 3-4% dividend growth. Pretty good for a regulated utility, and he's happy to own a company that puts…

Opinion about TA-T: Power generation, which explains the couple of rips this year on enthusiasm of Alberta data centres. The power demand is real, even if he can't predict which AI companies will be the winners. Alberta has surplus energy and lower regulatory hurdles.He's not in the binary game of will it happen or won't…

Opinion about GRN-T: Likes the sector, lots of runway. Renewable natural gas. Governments are increasing demand. On his radar. Will look at again when risk appetite in the market returns.

Opinion about BIP.UN-T: Likes that BN continues to source deals for them to do. Well run. Lots of infrastructure opportunities to support both energy and data centres.Best to put in a registered account if you can. (There's a chance in the future that the Brookfield structure gets harmonized, this stock should pop, and a registered…

Opinion about INE-T: This is how he'd play the renewable energy trade. Thinks rates will go higher next year, which makes him cautious. If that's the case for rates, a lot of the bond proxies like utilities and REITs are going to come under pressure. A bit more upside potential, but for a trade.

Opinion about H-T: Likes the regulated utilities. 

Opinion about AQN-T: He looks at peaks and troughs. What you may be seeing right now is a higher trough. Now the stock needs to take out the last peak, around $9. If it moves above $9, the technical point of view tells you that the sellers who didn't like the stock are being taken…

Opinion about GRN-T: Likes the sector, lots of runway. Renewable natural gas. Governments are increasing demand. On his radar. Will look at again when risk appetite in the market returns.

Opinion about BEP.UN-T: Whole sector's been decent and looking quite interesting, more room to run than other spaces that have already moved. Chart shows nice trend. Energy is very topical relative to AI. Decent hold over the next year.

Opinion about EMA-T: Likes it. Up 21% YTD. They do what they say they're going to do. Nova Scotia now coming out of its rate freeze, should see earnings increase in 2026. Asset sales mean that debt level is OK. Dividend can still be increased, though at lower levels than historically. Has trouble trimming a…

Opinion about TRUL-CN: It's a vertically integrated medical marijuana company that is dominant in Florida with a growing presence in the US northeast. They grow, process and sell at their own stores. They just opened their 73rd this week. They've been turning a profit since 2017 and keep posting good numbers. Too bad it trades…

Opinion about AND-T: (A Top Pick Sep 18/23, Down 7%) The segment that it's in will continue to grow, and this company is well positioned. As a medium-term play, opportunities to the upside.

Opinion about CRRX-T: (A Top Pick Nov 09/21, Down 51%) The largest provider of pharmaceutical services in Canada. Growing organically and by acquisition. Has higher labour costs - margins should be compressed short term but not longer term. Good management.

Opinion about JWEL-T: To "pump up" portfolios across Canada. Founded in Windsor ON. Bought a California company a few years ago, so little to no impact from tariffs. Growing in China, where company's attention to quality makes it stand apart. Seeing takeouts of private vitamin/mineral companies at much higher valuations. Has grown dividend over last…

Opinion about WELL-T: Tends to spike on a few catalysts, then falls off if there's no follow through. His position isn't large. Good runway to analysts' price target. Building out clinical side of business and the SaaS side. Needs more catalysts. Wishes he'd traded it instead of invested. (Analysts’ price target is $8.70)

Opinion about GUD-T: Investor will "probably die" owning it in his RRIF. Fits and starts, always lots of promise. Good management, but stock never quite delivers. Right now lots of chop on the chart, so the market's trying to hold at current levels of $5.75-6. If it can't hold, will probably head back down to…

Opinion about CPH-T: It could become the next Paladin. It has great management and ownership along with a good outlook. It made a big acquisition in the U.S. and if the first two quarters go well the stock could go up.

Opinion about DR-T: Has pulled back a lot. It holds US medical property. It has suffered inflationary pressures, but will diminish in 2023 and the stock will recover. Don't sell it in the current Dutch auction.

Opinion about EDT-T: There is nothing more powerful than a base breakout, and this had one in February of this year. This one is on a trend line right now and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the chart.

Opinion about NLH-X: Doesn't know much about this. Shied away from it for now, because it doesn't trade much. Has the potential to be a bigger small-cap healthcare company, an area that he likes.

Opinion about VHI-T: They have a big M&A pipeline and can continue to deploy capital. It sold off, because they bought 2 large companies and they take a while to integrate, a few quarters. Will be fine after this integration.
