You’ll Learn
- Visa (V) reported another strong quarter with EPS and revenue up 19%. Don’t be mistaken by its low yield; the dividend is up 445% in 10 years!
- Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) and Suncor (SUN) are both sitting on huge assets in oilsands. The two also show a yield of over 4%, but one shows a better profile and more resiliency.
- American Tower (AMT) is a crazy stock; it increases its dividend all the time! It also shows a stable business model as it rents towers for cell phones. Will the acquisition of CoreSite distract it from cell towers?
- Granite REIT (GRT.UN.TO) reported another good quarter with revenue up double-digit (+14%) and FFO per unit up 4.3%. The REIT also announced another distribution increase of 3.2%. Is it all pinky for Granite?
- It was a tough year for Nike (NKE). The stock dropped by more than 30%, but is still up 75% over the past 5 years. Will China’s revenue down double digits bring more clouds?
- Boring works well for Waste Connections (WCN.TO). This low-yield, high-growth company shows great pricing power.
- Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is beating both EPS (+13%) and revenue (+10%) expectations and is driven by growth across all segments. No surprise it is one of the rare tech stocks to thrive this year!
