Q: On these 7 themes please pick your favourite one or two stocks for each theme based on your view of the best potential performance over a 3 year hold with "appropriate" thought given to concern for downside potential based on corporate debt, management, current valuation or any other concerns that would prevent you from choosing a given equity. For most themes suggested equities are provided however please feel free to ignore those if not your favourite one or two. 1. AI COMPUTE (META ASML) 2. AI SOFTWARE (AVGO IBM) 3. POWER AND UTILITIES (NEXTERRA DUKE AEP) 4. BUILDING PRODUCTS (INHD AEHL WSO CRH) 5. LIFE SCIENCES 6. HEALTHCARE SERVICES (MERCK TMO AMGN SYK) 7. ELECTRIFICATION AND INDUSTRIAL (GEV EOSE GWH MVST). BIG ASK I know but likely of broad member interest and I seldom ask questions. Thank you.

Q: Hello,

As a follow-up to my question of earlier today, could you compare CRH to MLM in the same industry? Which would you prefer?

Any other stocks in the materials sector that you would prefer or recommend?

Thanks,

Q: Good morning,

As a follow-up to David’s question in May about CRH becoming listed on a US exchange:
If I buy the current CRH adrs, do they become automatically converted to the US listed shares when the new listing becomes available? Just curious how that would work…

And can I get your current thoughts on the quality and valuation of this CRH? Is it a buy at this price? I’m looking to add to my only other materials stock, which is LIN.

Thank you,

Q: CRH is potentially changing its stock listing from London to the U.S. in the near future. Are they attractive now as an ADR and would this change make them more attractive?
