goeasy
goeasy
goeasy (TSX:GSY) is a Canadian subprime lender that has grown its financials at a healthier rate for the last two decades. Despite the strong growth, it has acquired just 2% of the $218 billion Canadian subprime market. Given its expanded product offerings, solid distribution channels, and impressive digital infrastructure, the company hopes to expand its market share.
goeasy(TSX:GSY)是一家加拿大次级贷款人,在过去20年里以更健康的速度发展其财务业绩。尽管有强劲的增长,它仅占据了2180亿加拿大次级市场的2%。凭借其扩大的产品系列、稳固的分销渠道和卓越的数字基础设施,公司希望扩大其市场份额。
The falling interest rates and easing inflation could boost economic activities, thus driving credit demand and expanding the addressable market for goeasy. Meanwhile, the company's management expects its loan portfolio to reach $6 billion by 2026, representing a 45% increase from its June-ending levels. The expansion could grow its top line at an annualized rate of 14% through 2026 while expanding its operating margin to 42%. Given its healthy growth prospects, I am bullish on goeasy.
利率下降和通胀放缓可能推动经济活动,从而带动信贷需求,扩大goeasy的可寻址市场。与此同时,公司管理层预计到2026年贷款组合将达到600亿美元,较6月末水平增长了45%。公司的扩张计划可以将其营业收入以14%的年增长率增长至2026年,并将其营业利润率提高至42%。鉴于其良好的增长前景,我对goeasy持有看好态度。
Dollarama
Dollarama
Dollarama (TSX:DOL) operates 1,569 stores at convenient locations across the country. Given its superior direct sourcing and efficient logistics, the company offers several consumer products at attractive prices, thus enjoying healthy same-store sales even during challenging environments. Further, the company is expanding its footprint and expects to reach a store count of 2,000 by the end of 2031.
Dollarama(TSX:DOL)在全国方便的地点经营1569家商店。由于其优越的直接采购和高效的物流,该公司以诱人的价格提供多种消费品,即使在挑战性环境下也享有健康的同店销售额。此外,该公司正在扩大业务范围,并计划在2031年底前达到2000家商店。
Besides, it recently hiked its stake in Dollarcity, a value retailer in Latin America, from 50.1% to 60.1%. Further, Dollarcity plans to add around 500 stores over the next six years. Considering all these factors, Dollarama's financial growth could continue, driving its stock price.
此外,它最近还增加了对拉丁美洲价值零售商Dollarcity的股份,从50.1%增至60.1%。此外,Dollarcity计划在未来6年内增加约500家商店。考虑到所有这些因素,Dollarama的财务增长可能会继续推动其股价。
Waste Connections
废物管理公司Waste Connections
Another TSX stock you can buy without any hesitation is Waste Connections (TSX:WCN). The waste management company operates in the secondary and exclusive markets of the United States and Canada, thus facing lesser competition and enjoying higher margins. Meanwhile, the company is constructing several renewable natural gas and resource recovery facilities, which could become operational over the next few years.
在不加犹豫的情况下,你可以购买的另一个 TSX 股票是废物管理公司 Waste Connections(TSX:WCN)。该废物管理公司在美国和加拿大的次级市场和专属市场运营,因此面临较少的竞争,享受较高的利润率。与此同时,该公司正在建设几个可再生天然气和资源回收设施,这些设施可能在未来几年投入运营。
The company has made 18 acquisitions year-to-date, which could contribute $500 million to its annualized revenue. Meanwhile, the management expects to continue with its M&A (merger and acquisitions) in the second half to increase the revenue contribution for its acquisitions to $700 million by the end of this year. So, its growth prospects look healthy.
该公司今年迄今已进行了18宗收购,这些收购可能为其年化营业收入贡献5千万美元。与此同时,公司管理层预计在下半年继续进行并购,使其收购项目在今年年底前对营业收入贡献达到7千万美元。因此,其增长前景看好。
Fortis
fortis
Fourth on my list is Fortis (TSX:FTS), an electric and natural gas utility company that serves 3.5 million customers in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. With around 99% of its assets regulated, the company's financials are less susceptible to market volatility. Supported by its healthy cash flows, the company has increased its dividends for 50 consecutive years, with its forward yield at 4%.
我名单上的第四个股票是电力和天然气公用事业公司 Fortis(TSX:FTS),在加拿大、美国和加勒比地区为350万客户提供服务。由于其资产约99%都受到监管,该公司的财务状况不太容易受到市场波动的影响。在健康的现金流支撑下,该公司连续50年提高了分红派息,前瞻性股息率为4%。
Meanwhile, Fortis is progressing with its $25 billion capital plan, which extends from 2024 to 2028. These investments could deliver annualized rate base growth of 6.3% through 2028, boosting its financials. Moreover, the central bank has slashed interest rates twice this year, and investors are hopeful of one more cut this year. Given its capital-intensive business, lower interest rates could reduce its interest burden, thus improving its profitability.
与此同时,Fortis 正在推行一项为期10年、规模达250亿加元的资本计划,该计划将从2024年持续到2028年。这些投资可能通过2028年为公司的资产基础增长提供年化增长率6.3%,从而提升其财务状况。此外,央行今年已两次降息,投资者对今年还将有一次降息表示乐观。考虑到其资本密集型业务,降低利率可能减轻其利息负担,从而改善其盈利能力。
Enbridge
恩桥
Enbridge (TSX:ENB) operates a highly contracted midstream energy business, with around 98% of its cash flows generated from long-term cost-of-service contracts. With around 80% of its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) inflation-indexed, its financials are less susceptible to an inflationary environment. So, the company generates stable and predictable cash flows, allowing it to raise its dividends for 29 previous years at an annualized rate of 10%.
恩桥(TSX:ENB)运营着一个高度合同化的中游能源业务,约98%的现金流来自于长期的成本服务合同。由于其约80%的调整后税息折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)与通胀挂钩,其财务状况对通胀环境的影响较小。因此,该公司产生稳定可预测的现金流,使其能够以10%的年化率提高分红派息以往29年。
Moreover, Enbridge has expanded its footprint in the natural gas utility space by acquiring two assets in the United States and is working on completing the third deal. Further, it is growing its asset base through $24 billion in secured capital, with an annual deployment of $6-$7 billion. Given its healthy growth prospects and stable cash flows, Enbridge could continue its dividend growth, making it an excellent buy.
此外,恩桥通过收购美国两个资产并计划完成第三笔交易,扩大了其在天然气公用事业领域的影响力。此外,它通过24亿美元的担保资本不断增加资产,并每年投资6-7亿美元。鉴于其良好的增长前景和稳定的现金流,恩桥有望继续增加红利,使其成为一个极好的买入机会。
