Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Thoughts on Mastercard? I've had a "medium"-size position for several years and treated it more as a "buy-and-forget" stock. I'm thinking the recent 10% cap proposed in the US is likely just noise, but made me look at Mastercard again.

Do you think this is a good time to add to a long-term position in Mastercard or better to wait for a larger potential pullback?

Q: What is your analysis of Corpay (CPAY) as an undervalued investment at its current price of $283, well below its 52-week high? Analysts forecast earnings growth from $21.05 per share this year to ~$28 by 2027 and ~$33 by 2028, suggesting forward P/E ratios of 10 and 8.5, respectively. Corpay’s acquisition of Alpha Group in the UK could drive accelerated earnings growth through its fast-growing cross-border payments division, which the market may be undervaluing. Additionally, Mastercard’s recent $300 million investment for a 3% stake in Corpay’s cross-border payments business signals strong external confidence. Is this an attractive opportunity at current levels?

Q: In a recent response to a question, you suggested that US financials were your second highest conviction sector, after tech.


With that in mind, could you please share your top six U.S. financial picks, ranked by conviction? Does BRK.B make the list? I’d appreciate a brief justification either way.

Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.
