Chris Stuchberry, senior portfolio manager at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, discusses his market outlook, emphasizing the distinction between stock market performance and the broader economy. He outlines the portfolio's approach to navigating current market conditions, highlighting specific investments and key factors driving his outlook.
Chris Stuchberry, senior portfolio manager at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, provides his perspective on current market trends. He emphasizes a crucial point for investors: 'the stock market is not the economy.' Stocks don't directly mirror economic performance. Looking ahead, Stuchberry notes few significant shifts in the outlook.
Canada continues to face challenges, prompting the portfolio to maintain small allocations to Canadian assets, primarily focusing on multinational corporations with the majority of their revenue generated outside Canada. While he anticipates a rebound in the Canadian dollar by 2025, he acknowledges the need for patience.Despite stock prices exceeding expectations and valuations reaching elevated levels, Stuchberry remains confident in the portfolio's winning stocks. He points to strengthening balance sheets, sustained revenue growth, and share buybacks that reduce outstanding shares and consequently increase earnings per share. He reiterates the belief in identifying winning companies and emphasizes ongoing adjustments as needed.Stuchberry highlights specific examples of companies within the portfolio, including Palantir Technologies (PLTR NASD) - an AI-driven data analytics company with a strong financial position, impressive revenue growth, and strategic government and commercial contracts. Uber, a dominant platform in transportation and delivery, is cited for its consistent growth, improving profitability, and strategic share buybacks that position it for future expansion. Finally, Carrier, a manufacturer of HVAC systems, is commended for its consistent growth, share buyback program, and recent 18% dividend hike. The company is actively rebalancing its business portfolio after the acquisition of Viessmann, aiming to enhance profitability
