Q: I have had a nice run over the last 5 owning 5 of the mag 7 stocks. I have a small % of the portfolio dedicate to canadian teck. I am looking at Appel's potential headwinds with the current US administration position on trade and thinking of selling 1/2 my position and adding DSG as a replacement for a long term hold. does this make any sense to you guys?
5i Research Answer:
The companies are quite different so it is hard to compare them as it is a step down in market cap, step up in valuation and a different business overall. We do think headwinds are building for Apple but if any company can figure it out, they are likely near the top of the list, so we also don't think it is an 'obvious' sell. Overall, we would not be opposed to trimming AAPL in favour of something with more growth potential and we like DSG, we just wouldn't really view them as similar in many ways.
