3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
Every Canadian investor should have a couple of blue-chip stocks in their portfolio. Blue-chip stocks are attractive because they are large, established businesses that are not likely to disappear anytime soon.
加拿大投資者應該在其股票組合中擁有幾支藍籌股。藍籌股非常有吸引力，因爲它們是規模大、經營穩定的企業，不太可能隨時消失。
They may not be the fastest-growing companies, but they tend to steadily deliver for shareholders. If you are looking for some top blue-chip stocks to own, here are three Canadian stocks.
它們可能不是增長最快的公司，但它們往往能持續爲股東帶來收益。如果你正在尋找一些頂級的藍籌股，這裏有三個加拿大的股票。
These two blue-chip stocks are some of Canada's oldest companies
這兩隻藍籌股是加拿大最古老的公司之一。
Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) and Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) are some of Canadaâs longest-running businesses. Even after 100 years, their transportation networks remain crucial to the Canadian and North American economy. This makes them ideal blue-chip stocks.
加拿大太平洋鐵路(TSX:CP)和加拿大國家鐵路(TSX:CNR)是加拿大和北美經濟的重要支柱，是加拿大最長壽的企業之一。即使經過100年，它們的運輸網絡仍然對加拿大和北美經濟至關重要。這使它們成爲理想的藍籌股。
CP: A faster-than-average growth rate
CP：高於平均增長率
Canadian Pacific is a unique railroad stock because of its above-industry growth potential. Last year, it acquired the Kansas City Southern network. The railway has expanded its network from Canada, across the U.S. and Mexico.
加拿大太平洋鐵路是一隻獨特的鐵路股，因爲它具有高於行業的增長潛力。去年，它收購了堪薩斯城南線網絡。這家鐵路公司已經將其網絡從加拿大擴展到美國和墨西哥。
Nearshoring and localized manufacturing are new trends that should support CPâs network. Despite a short-term freight/transport recession, CP continues to focus on annualized mid-teens growth for the next four to five years.
近岸製造和本地化製造是支持加拿大太平洋鐵路網絡的新趨勢。儘管短期的貨運/運輸衰退，CP仍然專注於未來四到五年年化中十幾%的增長。
This isnât the cheapest blue-chip stock. However, if it can hit its long-term targets, shareholders will be pleased they owned this stock.
這並不是最便宜的藍籌股。然而，如果它能達到長期目標，股東會很高興擁有這支股票。
CN: Cheaper but growing slower
CN：更便宜但增長較慢
Canadian National stock is almost five multiples cheaper than CP. Its 2% dividend yield is substantially larger. CNR also has a better dividend growth track record. Its dividend per share has grown by a 13% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past decade. If you want a growing stream of dividends, Canadian National is the stock to own.
加拿大國家鐵路股票價格幾乎是加拿大太平洋鐵路的五倍之多。其2%的股息收益率顯著更高。CNR還有更好的股息增長記錄，過去十年的每股股息增長率爲13%。如果你想獲得不斷增長的股息，加拿大國家鐵路是你應該擁有的股票。
While it has a strong network across Canada and the U.S., the CP merger does weaken its position to an extent. The good news is that CN has an industry-leading balance sheet. While it may push solid single-digit revenue growth, it can use tactical share buybacks to elevate earnings per share growth.
雖然它在加拿大和美國擁有強大的網絡，但CP的併購確實削弱了其地位。好消息是，CNR擁有業內領先的資產負債表。雖然可能推動穩健的單位數字收入增長，但它可以使用戰術性股票回購來提高每股收益增長。
CN has an intelligent management team working to maximize its network velocity and capacity. If this blue-chip company can continue improving operating results, shareholders will continue to do well holding this stock.
加拿大國家鐵路擁有一個智能的管理團隊，致力於最大化其網絡速度和容量。如果這家藍籌公司能繼續改善營運結果，股東將繼續持有這支股票。
ATD: A retail blue-chip stock
ATD：一隻零售藍籌股
Another great Canadian blue-chip stock is Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD). It is hardly an exciting business. It owns and operates convenience stores and gas stations around the world.
另一隻偉大的加拿大藍籌股是Alimentation Couche-Tard(TSX:ATD)。它並不是一家令人興奮的企業。它擁有並經營着世界各地的便利店和加油站。
Gas stations are not fast-growing businesses. However, Couche-Tard has been an expert at maximizing profitability from the locations it has (or is building out). Smart acquisitions have been a key to its success. The convenience and gas retailer just added a major retail portfolio in northern Europe.
加油站並不是快速增長的企業。然而，Couche-Tard已經成爲最擅長從其擁有或正在建設的地點中獲得利潤的專家。聰明的收購是其成功的關鍵。這家便利店和加油站的零售商剛剛在歐洲北部增加了一個重要的零售投資組合。
Couche-Tard is temporarily getting hit by a slowing economy. This blue-chip stock has underperformed the market this year. However, the company has traditionally used slow markets to aggressively buy back stock.
Couche-Tard暫時受到經濟放緩的衝擊。今年，這隻藍籌股表現不及市場。然而，該公司傳統上利用低迷的市場積極回購股票。
Likewise, it has consistently been growing its dividend by a 20%-plus rate. If you can look past a couple more quarters of weaker-than-normal results, this stock should continue to perform well long term.
同樣地，它已經持續以20%以上的速度增長其股息。如果你可以忽略幾個更弱的季度結果，這支股票應該會在長期內繼續表現良好。
