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)是一家加拿大次級貸款人,在過去20年裏以更健康的速度發展其財務業績。儘管有強勁的增長,它僅佔據了2180億加拿大次級市場的2%。憑藉其擴大的產品系列、穩固的分銷渠道和卓越的數字基礎設施,公司希望擴大其市場份額。
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.
利率下降和通脹放緩可能推動經濟活動,從而帶動信貸需求,擴大goeasy的可尋址市場。與此同時,公司管理層預計到2026年貸款組合將達到600億美元,較6月末水平增長了45%。公司的擴張計劃可以將其營業收入以14%的年增長率增長至2026年,並將其營業利潤率提高至42%。鑑於其良好的增長前景,我對goeasy持有看好態度。
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)在全國方便的地點經營1569家商店。由於其優越的直接採購和高效的物流,該公司以誘人的價格提供多種消費品,即使在挑戰性環境下也享有健康的同店銷售額。此外,該公司正在擴大業務範圍,並計劃在2031年底前達到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,它最近還增加了對拉丁美洲價值零售商Dollarcity的股份,從50.1%增至60.1%。此外,Dollarcity計劃在未來6年內增加約500家商店。考慮到所有這些因素,Dollarama的財務增長可能會繼續推動其股價。
Waste Connections
廢物管理公司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.
在不加猶豫的情況下,你可以購買的另一個 TSX 股票是廢物管理公司 Waste Connections(TSX:WCN)。該廢物管理公司在美國和加拿大的次級市場和專屬市場運營,因此面臨較少的競爭,享受較高的利潤率。與此同時,該公司正在建設幾個可再生天然氣和資源回收設施,這些設施可能在未來幾年投入運營。
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.
該公司今年迄今已進行了18宗收購,這些收購可能爲其年化營業收入貢獻5千萬美元。與此同時,公司管理層預計在下半年繼續進行併購,使其收購項目在今年年底前對營業收入貢獻達到7千萬美元。因此,其增長前景看好。
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%.
我名單上的第四個股票是電力和天然氣公用事業公司 Fortis(TSX:FTS),在加拿大、美國和加勒比地區爲350萬客戶提供服務。由於其資產約99%都受到監管,該公司的財務狀況不太容易受到市場波動的影響。在健康的現金流支撐下,該公司連續50年提高了分紅派息,前瞻性股息率爲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.
與此同時,Fortis 正在推行一項爲期10年、規模達250億加元的資本計劃,該計劃將從2024年持續到2028年。這些投資可能通過2028年爲公司的資產基礎增長提供年化增長率6.3%,從而提升其財務狀況。此外,央行今年已兩次減息,投資者對今年還將有一次減息表示樂觀。考慮到其資本密集型業務,降低利率可能減輕其利息負擔,從而改善其盈利能力。
Enbridge
恩橋
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%.
恩橋(TSX:ENB)運營着一個高度合同化的中游能源業務,約98%的現金流來自於長期的成本服務合同。由於其約80%的調整後稅息折舊攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)與通脹掛鉤,其財務狀況對通脹環境的影響較小。因此,該公司產生穩定可預測的現金流,使其能夠以10%的年化率提高分紅派息以往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,恩橋通過收購美國兩個資產並計劃完成第三筆交易,擴大了其在天然氣公用事業領域的影響力。此外,它通過24億美元的擔保資本不斷增加資產,並每年投資6-7億美元。鑑於其良好的增長前景和穩定的現金流,恩橋有望繼續增加紅利,使其成爲一個極好的買入機會。
