The e-commerce revolution that has taken the world by storm has left the stock prices of retailers worldwide in the dust, with investors favoring that growth companies like Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) provide when compared to big box stores such as Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L).
What is interesting is the process by which valuations have changed over the past few years; as e-commerce growth has continued to significantly outpace that of bricks and mortar retailers such as Loblaw, valuation multiples for e-commerce mega giants have continued to expand alongside increasingly bullish expectations. On the flip side, some may argue that retailers such as Loblaw have been hit disproportionately and thus are excellent buys at current levels.
Loblaw has announced that it will be making a much bigger push into e-commerce, suggesting that by the end of the year, Canadians will have a range of options to choose from when picking their grocery items online. Notably, the company’s “Click and Collect” program will be given a facelift, changing to “PC Express,” all the while adding an additional estimated 500 locations by the end of the year. This large investment in infrastructure and branding suggests that the company is bracing itself for a long fight in hopes of regaining the faith of investors in the process.
The company’s e-commerce push could provide long-term stability to the company’s cash flows should Loblaw be able to effectively integrate its e-commerce platforms with its Shoppers Drug Mart locations. Grocery is a slim to nil-margin business, fraught with issues such as deflationary prices on high volume items, spoilage, and transportation issues (Canada is a massive country), among others. The profitability of its business model is subject to the current intensity of price positioning within the Canadian grocery market. As retailers cut prices to gain market share, the corresponding price wars do nothing to serve the interest of Loblaw shareholders, although shoppers may rejoice in paying a few pennies less for those expensive avocados.
While the future profitability of Shoppers Drug Mart has come into question due to changing generic drug regulations among other aforementioned issues that stand to drain profitability, the reality is that Shoppers is likely to deliver higher levels of EBIDTA over the long term on a percentage basis, for Loblaw shareholders. Additionally, innovation within the pharmaceutical/healthcare space is likely to drive margins higher and increase market share as patients look for increasingly convenient ways to pick up their medications. With cannabis sales potentially on the horizon, Loblaw investors have yet another positive catalyst on the horizon for its Shoppers’ division.
Stay Foolish, my friends.

In what has to be viewed as an unfortunate development for many Canadians, the Canada-U.S. trade war continues to drag on, and appears to be intensifying in recent days.
The latest in the ongoing saga had the U.S. president threatening that he is going to punish “the people of Canada” and “that’s going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada.”
It doesn’t sound good, does it?
Particularly if you happen to be involved as a shareholder, or otherwise, with one of the following five companies.
Following the initial round of tariffs laid on Canadian steel and aluminum imports into the U.S., the automotive sector is one of the industries up next on President Trump’s chopping block.
That could very well end up posing an existential threat to the Canadian economy, some experts are saying, and would be particularly troublesome for auto manufacturers like Magna International Inc. (TSX:MG)(NYSE:MGA) and Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR).
Both companies are heavily involved with exports to the U.S. markets, leading Trump to tweet recently that Canadian automobiles are “flooding the U.S. Market!”
When interviewed on television last weekend, Former premier of Quebec and deputy prime minister Jean Charest said, “On a day-to-day basis the Trump administration is confusion and chaos, but on the key issues he ran on … he has remained constant.”
Charest also said that Trump “tends to follow through on the threats he makes,” meaning that shareholders in the Canadian automakers are probably best advised to be on notice.
That could also spell trouble for Martinrea International Inc. (TSX:MRE), another auto parts manufacturer, which is considerably smaller than Magna and Linamar, with a market capitalization of just $1.34 billion.
In situations like this, it’s sometimes the smaller players that end up feeling the brunt of it, and with Martinrea shares already having doubled over the past 18 months, it could just be that now is a good time for its shareholders to be taking some risk off the table.
Continuing with the trend of companies in Canada’s auto sector, one has to wonder how auto dealership group AutoCanada Inc. (TSX:ACQ) would fare if the Trump administration does indeed go ahead with its proposed tariffs.
In a situation where Canadian auto exports are heavily taxed, the most likely outcome is for more automobiles to stay inside Canadian borders.
That could lead to an oversupply in Canadian inventories and could have an undesirable impact on AutoCanada’s dealership margins, which are already razor thin to begin with.
Shots fired at Canada’s supply-management system
Besides the auto industry, the other sector that is effectively being put on notice by the Trump administration is the Canadian agricultural sector, which has come under fire for its alleged protectionist policies.
Dairy processor Saputo Inc. (TSX:SAP) has operations in the United States in addition to Canada and Australia, but it stands to reason that its Canadian business could suffer if larger U.S. competitors were given access to the Canadian market.
Bottom line
Despite the luminous threats, Canadian politicians are pledging to work together and across party lines to protect Canadian industry and its workers.
It remains to be seen whether the latest proposed tariffs will end up becoming a reality, but for now, even the threat of an intensifying trade war is a very real thing, and Foolish investors ought to take the time to review their portfolios in light of recent events to see if there are any current holdings that need to be dealt with as a result.

With the historic drought in commodity prices firmly in the rear-view mirror, prices of raw goods, from wheat and corn to soybeans and barley, are on the rise again.
These five businesses are either directly or indirectly linked to commodity prices and agri-business and, as a result, stand to outperform thanks to recent rally in the prices for raw goods.
One of the best examples of a company linked to commodity prices and the health of the agricultural community happens to be Nutrien Ltd. (TSX:NTR)(NYSE:NTR).
In case you’ve never heard of Nutrien before, you actually probably have, and you just didn’t know it. That’s because Nutrien is the new company formed at the start of this year out of the merger between Potash Corp. and Agrium. That mega-merger created one of the largest agri-business companies anywhere in the world.
But how is the company linked to commodity prices?
In years when prices for raw goods like wheat, corn, and soybeans are doing well, that ends up putting more cash in farmers’ pockets when harvest season inevitably rolls around. That’s important because, more often than not, those farmers take those surplus profits from the year’s harvest and use them to invest in next year’s crop by purchasing additional quantities of products, like the fertilizers and applications that Nutrien sells.
That helps them to boost “yields,” or the amount of crop that can be produced from an acre of land the following year.
Now, if you want to take that theory one step further, if next year’s crop ends up yielding more than the last, it’s a cycle that should — barring any unexpected shocks — continue to compound.
That can end being very good news for Canada’s leading dairy processor Saputo Inc. (TSX:SAP). Dairy farmers benefit from improved harvests. They can feed their herds more, helping to produce more milk that Saputo can then process into cheeses, yogurts, and creams.
Still yet another company that does well when agri-businesses are succeeding is American-based retail chain Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ:TSCO).
Tractor Supply sells all kinds of products to support the “rural lifestyle,” so it only makes sense that when those involved in agricultural and outdoor businesses are doing well, those consumers will only naturally have more disposable income to spend on tools, clothes, and other home improvement products.
In the same vein as Tractor Supply is the world’s leading off-road vehicle company, Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE:PII). While you certainly wouldn’t expect to find many of Polaris off-road ATVs in many cities or suburban communities, you are going to see them a lot more frequently in rural settings.
It’s perhaps not that surprising then that sales of Polaris vehicles tend to be tied to the health of the commodity markets. Polaris vehicles are also frequently used by oil and gas companies, and energy prices will usually move in the same direction as the prices for other commodities, reinforcing the pattern.
Another company, AGT Food and Ingredients Inc. (TSX:AGT) is one of the largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods, and food ingredients in the world. AGT buys raw materials like lentils, peas, beans, and chickpeas and processes them into value-added products that end up on grocers’ shelves.
It’s basically the epitome of a big volume, low-margin business.
But when the prices for those raw goods are rising, the added margin that AGT charges in selling those products to consumers essentially goes straight to the company’s bottom line.
Stay Foolish.
On April 25th, the “ultimate buy signal” started flashing…
Just 6 weeks ago, The Motley Fool’s Iain Butler revealed an ultra rare “triple down” stock recommendation – and investors all over Canada are rushing to get in! Why? Because past “triple downs” have averaged over 100% returns. One “triple down” alone earned 440% returns (in just over two years’ time).
To discover the brand-new “triple down” recommendation, simply click here. You’ll be whisked to a special investor memo prepared by The Motley Fool Canada. The only catch is you’ll have to hurry! This brand-new report could be withdrawn at any time.

For long-term investors, energy infrastructure stocks provide one of the most stable sources of income. These companies provide us power and gas, moving bulk energy products from refineries to customers.
Their place in the economy is so crucial that we can’t imagine the modern-day life without their services. That’s the reason I always recommend that my readers have a couple of quality utility and energy infrastructure stocks in their income portfolios. Let’s have a look at Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) and Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS)(NYSE:FTS), Canada’s two top utility stocks, to find out which is a better buy today.
Business strength
Both companies are well entrenched in their markets and have robust growth plans. Enbridge, North America’s largest pipeline operator, plans to spend US$22 billion on development projects over the next three years. Its secured capital program includes projects such as the Line 3 Replacement, NEXUS, Dawn-Parkway Expansion, and the Hohe See Offshore Wind project.
St. John’s-based Fortis has a $14.5 billion capital-spending plan for the next five years. That plan is comprised mostly of a diversified mix of low-risk projects and is fully funded through debt raised at the utilities, cash from operations, and common equity from the company’s dividend-reinvestment plan.
Fortis provides electricity and gas to 3.2 million customers in the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean countries. The U.S. accounts for more than 60% of its assets, while Canada has more than 25%, and the rest are in the Caribbean.
Dividend hikes
Both utility stocks have solid dividend programs to attract long-term investors, whose aim is to remain invested and earn stable payouts.
Enbridge has paid dividends for over 64 years. It announced a 10% hike in its quarterly dividend per share to $0.671 this year. This translates into $2.684 per share on an annualized basis for 2018. Over the past 20 years, the dividend has grown at an average compound annual growth rate of 11.7%.
Fortis is one of the leaders when it comes to rewarding its investors. This year marks the 44th consecutive year of increased dividend payments. Paying a $0.425-per-share quarterly payout, Fortis plans to deliver 6% average growth in its annual dividend each year through 2022.
Share performance
Both Enbridge and Fortis stocks have been under pressure for the past year due to rising interest rates in North America, which reduce the appeal of dividend stocks. But Fortis stock has fared much better in this downturn, falling 8% against the 18% decline in Enbridge shares.
Over the past five years, Fortis’s performance has also been much better than Enbridge. Fortis stock delivered 33% in capital appreciation, whereas Enbridge stock fell 4%.
Which stock is a better buy?
Fortis’s stock looks to be a much better choice for long-term investors, given its past performance. But Enbridge’s poor performance is mainly the result of its share slump during the past one year.
Going forward, both companies have solid growth plans with very attractive dividend payouts. If I were to decide between the two stocks, I would evenly split my investment between the two to take advantage of the attractive 6.33% dividend yield by Enbridge and the low-risk Fortis.
Our #1 Stock to Buy in 2018 (and Beyond!)
When you buy heavily cyclical stocks at low prices… and then hold the shares until the cycle reaches its peak… you can make a very healthy profit.
Every investor knows that. But many struggle to identify the best opportunities.
Except The Motley Fool may have a plan to solve that problem! Our in-house analyst team has poured thousands of hours into their proprietary research – and this is the result.
Our top advisor Iain Butler has just identified his #1 stock to buy in 2018 (and beyond).
The last time this stock went from the low point of its cycle to the peak… shares shot from $12 to $40 inside of 4 years. That’s an 300%-plus return. And if you missed out on that ride, today might just be your second chance.

Contrarian investors are always searching for beaten-up stocks that might be getting oversold.
Let’s take a look at Corus Entertainment Inc. (TSX:CJR.B) and BlackBerry Ltd. (TSX:BB)(NYSE:BB) to see if one deserves to be on your buy list right now.
Corus
Corus investors just received a harsh lesson on the risks of owning stocks with astronomical dividend yields.
The company slashed its distribution by 80% in an effort to redirect cash flow to pay down debt. The market had expected the move for some time, but the extent of the selloff in the stock may have caught investors and pundits alike by surprise.
Corus plunged from $6.25 per share to $4.50, taking the stock to an all-time low. Long-term followers of the company know Corus has struggled for some time as it tries to survive in a rapidly changing media market that is seeing advertisers shift spending from traditional TV and radio stations to online alternatives. Five years ago, Corus traded for $24 per share.
The challenging times are expected to continue, but the pullback might be overdone.
Corus reported a net loss of $935.9 million for the most recent quarter due to a non-cash impairment charge connected to a $1 billion writedown on its broadcast assets.
However, adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.37, compared to $0.35 in the same period last year. The company generated $87.7 million in free cash flow, compared to $82.5 million for the quarter ended May 31, 2017.
Television revenue fell from $422 million to $403 million, and radio revenue slipped from $39.3 million to $38.4 million, so things are certainly moving in the wrong direction, but the company is still making decent money.
Investors are also shaken by the fact that Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B)(NYSE:SJR) is looking to unload its 38% stake in Corus to help fund the build out of its mobile operations. Shaw sold its media division to Corus for $2.65 billion in 2016.
With the dividend cut out of the way and Shaw’s intentions now out in the open, Corus can get down to the business of paying off debt. If a white knight comes in to buy the Shaw stake and provide the cash Corus needs to work through its turnaround program, the current stock price might prove to be a bargain.
BlackBerry
BlackBerry’s recovery has certainly been bumpy, with the stock bouncing around in a range of $6.50 to $17 over the past five years. Investors are still trying to decide if the multi-year turnaround effort will eventually be a success.
The latest results met expectations, but Mr. Market didn’t like the growth guidance, and the stock is down from its recent high above $16 to below $13 per share, hitting new 2018 lows. Growth forecasts for 2019 are now 8-10% for the software and services business, compared to 20% in the current year, as BlackBerry says it is changing to a subscription-based model. Investors are wondering whether the strategy will work.
Volatility will likely continue in the stock until investors finally see a clear light at the end of the tunnel, but BlackBerry’s worst days should be behind it, and contrarian investors with a buy-and-hold strategy might want to take advantage of the latest dip to start a position in the stock.
The bottom line
Corus and BlackBerry carry risk, but the recent price drops could be attractive opportunities for a contrarian portfolio.
You’ve probably never even heard of this up-and-coming e-commerce powerhouse headquartered in Eastern Ontario…
But, despite coming public just last year, it’s already helping the likes of Budweiser… Tesla… Subway… and Red Bull move $9.9 BILLION (and counting) worth of goods online each year.
And now it’s caught the eye of the legendary investor who got behind Amazon.com in 1997 — just before it shot up over 23,000% and made investors like you and me rich beyond their wildest dreams.

One thing I love about investing is discovering new and potentially lucrative opportunities to invest in, and one area that continues to attract a lot of interest are REITs (real estate investment trusts).
Simply stated, REITs are an excellent option for everyday investors to enter the world of being a landlord and collecting, in many cases, a monthly distribution from a portfolio of dozens, if not hundreds, of different properties.
Here are a few great REITs to consider adding to your portfolio today.
BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:BTB.UN) caters to the commercial, industrial, and office segments of the economy, with a portfolio that consists of 70 properties with a combined 5.2 million square feet across parts of Quebec and Ontario.
BTB may have a smaller portfolio than many of its peers, but that doesn’t mean that the distribution offered by the company should be any less. BTB currently offers a monthly distribution that pays a very impressive 8.97%
In terms of results, in the first fiscal of 2018, BTB reported rental income of $21.4 million, representing an increase of 12.6% over the same period last year. Net operating income for the quarter came in at $11.45 million, up from the $9.84 million reported in the same quarter last year. Occupancy rates across BTB’s portfolio have remained stable over the course of the year at just over 89%.
BTB currently trades at $4.64 with a P/E of 6.82.
American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (TSX:HOT.UN) is another great investment worthy of consideration. The company is invested in hotel properties primarily in the U.S. market, specifically targeting secondary markets. In total, the company spans 33 different state markets, encompassing 91 cities under 18 different brands.
When it comes to a monthly distribution, American Hotel offers investors an incredible 10.29% yield, which is sure to attract the interest of income-seeking investors.
In the most recent quarter, American Hotel reported total revenues of US$81.06 million, representing an impressive leap over the US$61.72 million posted in the same quarter last year. Much of that growth can be attributed to new acquisitions made by the company in the year, reflected in the company’s expenses, which surged from US$49 million last year to US$67 million in the most recent quarter.
Slate Office REIT (TSX:SOT.UN) is a REIT that is on the smaller side, with just 45 properties that combine to hold 7.5 million square feet. Unlike other REITs that cater to multiple segments, Slate is a pure-play office REIT, which holds some advantages.
Despite the smaller footprint, Slate has a very diversified portfolio of properties with locations in over half a dozen provinces, and in terms of a distribution, Slate impressively offers a 9.75% yield that is distributed on a monthly basis.
Slate is set to announce results for the second fiscal quarter later this summer in August, but in the first quarter, Slate reported net income of $7.9 million, $500,000 lower than the same period last year, and rental revenues of $44.3 million, which came in $1.9 million higher over the same period last year.
True North Commercial REIT (TSX:TNT.UN) is as the name implies, a REIT focused on commercial properties. True North currently has over 40 commercial properties that are spread out over five provinces, with the majority of the properties located in Ontario and New Brunswick.
In addition to providing a monthly distribution that pays out a 9.04% yield, True North’s portfolio has a 7% occupancy with an average lease term of over four years. Even better is that a sizable portion of True North’s tenants are government offices, which, to put it another way, translates into stable tenants for the long term.
Furthermore, the company continues to look for additional assets to acquire, the most recent of which was announced earlier this month — a flagship property in Toronto with direct access to transit. The building already carries an occupancy rate in excess of 90%, of which 74% of the tenants are government and credit rated.

Finding an investment that provides ample long-term growth can be both satisfying and profitable. And while the market provides us with no shortage of options to choose from, some investments have notably brighter growth prospects over the long term than others.
One such investment worthy of consideration is Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (TSX:ATD.B).
While you may not recognize the Couche-Tard name, most of us have gone into one or more of the nearly 16,000 convenience stores and gas stations the company has scattered around the world.
While Couche-Tard owns a variety of convenience store names, over the few years the company has been rebranding itself primarily under its Circle K brand globally, with some locations in Canada and the U.S. maintaining the Couche-Tard, Mac’s, and Kangaroo Express brands.
What makes Couche-Tard a great growth stock?
While impressive, Couche-Tard’s network of locations is not reason enough to qualify the stock as a great long-term growth pick. Instead, let’s take a deeper look at how the company got to nearly 16,000 locations.
When you think about the traditional convenience store/gas station combo, it may not initially seem like a lucrative business with growth prospects. Most stores are independently owned or are part of a small cluster of locations that typically span a region.
This setup allows Couche-Tard to rapidly expand its global footprint by targeting these smaller groups of stations for acquisition and then rebranding them under the Circle K brand. Additionally, once the locations are integrated into Couche-Tard’s network, cost synergies and savings come into effect.
Since 2015, Couche-Tard has completed eight major acquisitions similar to this, resulting in over 2,500 new locations added to its network.
Looking towards the remainder of the year, Couche-Tard has noted that it plans to continue both integrating and rebranding those new locations under the Circle K banner, which brings with it the potential for cost synergies and savings in future quarters. The integration of the CST brands stores to Circle K is not expected to be completed until 2020.
Couche-Tard acquired CST’s 1,900 locations in a deal that completed one year ago.
While the markets in North America get rebranded under a single name, Couche-Tard continues to provide new options for its customers. Last year the company announced its “Made To Go” food service concept, which placed fresh food and baked goods in stores.
What about results?
Couche-Tard is set to announce results for the fourth quarter for fiscal 2018 next month, but until then, we can take a look at the results from the third quarter.
During the third quarter, Couche-Tard reported net earnings of $463.9 million, representing an impressive jump of 61.6% over the same quarter in the previous year. On a per-share basis, Couche-Tard earned $0.82 per diluted share in the most recent quarter, up 64%, or $0.32 per share, over the same quarter last year.
Much of that impressive boost in earnings can be linked back to changes in U.S. tax law, and excluding those changes, the company would have earned $0.54 per share, representing just under 2% growth over the prior year.
Couche-Tard also provides investors with a quarterly dividend, but the 0.62% yield hardly classifies the stock as a good income investment. Income-seeking investors would be better suited with any number of other investments that can provide a secure and growing source of income.
Couche-Tard continues to be a great growth-focused stock for investors looking to diversify their portfolios.

It’s tough to get excited about insurance companies whose business is to sell car and life insurance policies. This is a business you’ve hardly heard someone bragging about at the dinner table or during a party.
But investors who don’t want surprises every morning love insurance companies that lock in customers to get regular cash flows and then use them to generate profit.
You may be surprised to know that the world’s most successful value investor Warren Buffett credits his success to his insurance portfolio. Insurance has been the main pillar of growth for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. since his 1967 acquisition of National Indemnity. In fact, Buffett specifically referred to the insurance industry as Berkshire’s “most important sector” in his letter to shareholders last year.
In Canada, Manulife Financial Corporation (TSX:MFC)(NYSE:MFC), the nation’s largest insurer, is trying to transform itself into a leaner and more efficient service provider to try to win investors’ confidence and end its stock’s underperformance over the past decade. For long-term investors, this is a good time to analyze this stock and see if there is any value to unlock.
Manulife’s transformation plan
As part of its turnaround plan, the company announced during an investor presentation this week that Manulife set a target to free up to $5 billion in capital over the next three years.
The main pillar of this strategy is to exit some business lines that don’t fit in the company’s future growth initiatives. According to some news reports, Manulife was weighing the sale of a number of U.S. insurance assets after conducting a strategic review of its U.S. operations, including its John Hancock business.
Another important part of the company’s new strategy was to cut its expenses by $1 billion by 2022. The company announced plans last week to cut 700 jobs in Canada, as it brings in more digital interaction with clients.
Investors, however, doesn’t seem impressed. MFC stock is down more than 6% since June 22 and about 10% this year, despite the fact that rising interest rates bode well for insurance companies.
Manulife has been through a similar cost-cutting exercise in the past that failed to improve the share performance, which is down 40% over the past decade. This time it’s probably a “show-me” moment for the company before investors get excited about the company’s future prospects.
The bottom line
Manulife shares need to break out of its sluggish cycle to reward its loyal customers who have suffered during a decade-long slump. If you look at the company’s valuations, they look attractive. Manulife shares are trading at just 8.38 times the forward earnings per share, which is well below the 10-year average of 10.7.
But I won’t recommend you take an immediate position in this deep-value stock. For me, Manulife stock is a buy if it trades around $17 a share. You’re better off to wait on the sidelines until that moment arrives. After all, the company has a lot to do in the next five years.
Attention Investors: On April 25th, 2018, something incredible happened…
The Motley Fool’s Iain Butler has just revealed an ultra rare “triple down” stock recommendation. And investors all over Canada are rushing to get in. Why? Because past “triple downs” have averaged over 100% returns, and sometimes as much as 440% returns (in just over two years’ time)…
To discover the brand-new “triple down” recommendation, simply click here. You’ll be whisked to a special investor memo prepared by The Motley Fool Canada. The only catch is you’ll have to hurry! This brand-new report could be withdrawn at any time.

Okay, so maybe there is no such thing as the “perfect” stock, but there are certainly some companies that enjoy distinct and sustainable advantages over their competition.
A winning investment strategy is one that sees you buy great, high-quality companies and hold those companies forever — or at least for a very long time.
Be on the lookout for these five qualities next time you’re making an investment, and with a little bit of luck, you might just find yourself the owner of something truly great — like, for example, the next Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN).
Look for a growing industry
Amazon.com would have been the quintessential example of this, 20-some odd years ago.
A more modern example, however, could be found right in your backyard with the likes of Canada’s homegrown e-commerce disruptor, Shopify Inc. (TSX:SHOP)(NYSE:SHOP).
Another example of a seemingly “can’t-miss” growth industry would be the emerging market for marijuana in Canada — for recreational as well as for medicinal purposes — and in several nascent international markets.
Some of the “who’s who” in Canada’s cannabis market include the likes of Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB), Aphria Inc. (TSX:APH), and Cronos Group Inc. (TSX:CRON)(NASDAQ:CRON), among others.
A company offering a superior product
At the risk of repeating myself, Amazon.com jumps to mind here once again.
Countless individuals and companies have invested millions — if not billions — of dollars to develop a winning e-commerce strategy, yet Amazon stands out as the clear winner, at least so far.
Companies offering products and services that are superior to the competition get the luxury of charging a premium for those products and services.
That premium ends up going straight to the bottom line, and that’s what makes these companies so great.
Going with the cost leader
This type of company or stock is going to be a favourite of those following a value investing style.
Companies like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), and even Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY)(NYSE:RY) enjoy the benefits of scale, allowing them to deliver products to their customers at a cost that their competitors simply aren’t able to match.
Loyalty is everything
Having loyal customers is great, because they’ll be willing to look the other way when something goes wrong — and it always does.
Just look at the patience Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) customers have demonstrated amid the company’s recent struggles, and ask yourself how things would be different if that weren’t the case.
Opportunity to tap into new opportunities and markets
Then there are the truly iconic companies — ones that have stood the test of time; companies that were around when your grandparents were growing up.
General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), despite its recent woes, is one of these legendary companies.
But while there are certainly questions as to whether General Electric will be around another hundred years from now, those with a view to the future may want to pay attention to the investments that some of today’s technology leaders like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) having been making in initiatives like artificial intelligence.
Stay Foolish.

StorageVault Canada Inc. (TSXV:SVI) exhibits many traits of a Warren Buffett business. It’s a low-tech company with an easy-to-understand growth strategy, an incredibly high growth ceiling, and a handful of long-term tailwinds that are likely to propel the stock substantially higher over the next decade and beyond.
As you may have guessed, StorageVault is in the business of owning and operating self-storage units across Canada. In other words, StorageVault provides real estate for people’s excess “stuff.”
I admit the growth opportunity is easy to overlook especially given the “unsexy” nature of the industry that’s been made even “unsexier” thanks to shows like Storage Wars, whereby auctioneers crack open rat-infested storage units, revealing mouldy junk that probably isn’t a worth a single month’s rent.
In addition, there’s zero room for innovation when it comes to storage units. When you have a look at U.S. storage unit stocks like Public Storage (NYSE:PSA), you’ll quickly realize that the industry is better suited for a retiree, not a growth investor looking for above-average capital gains.
While it’s easy to dismiss StorageVault because of its unattractive industry and because it’s trading on the TSXV (which is chalk-full of uninvestable businesses), Canadian growth investors ought to realize the fact that StorageVault is an entirely different beast than its mature brothers south of the border.
A national consolidation opportunity
The U.S. self-storage industry has had the opportunity to consolidate with several behemoths controlling the industry. The growth opportunity has all but run dry in the U.S., but here in Canada, we’re experiencing a self-storage demand boom with not nearly as much supply of real estate for our stuff.
In other words, Canadians are getting “stuffocated!”
According to industry statistics, the U.S. has approximately nine-square-feet worth of storage for every person in the country compared to just two square feet of storage per person in Canada.
That’s over four times less self-storage supply per person! As real estate prices continue to rocket to unhealthy levels across urban Canadian cities, where many of us can’t afford a place that’s large enough for all our stuff.
As demand for Canadian self-storage units continues to skyrocket over the next few years thanks to the six Ds (downsizing, death, divorce, displacement, disaster, density [population densification]), StorageVault is going to have the opportunity as emerge as a dominant player in the space like that of a Public Storage in the U.S.
Over the next decade and beyond, StorageVault is likely going to continue scooping up rivals, as the company moves closer towards the ultimate goal of consolidating its industry and expanding its storage capacity to meet the continuously growing demands of Canadians who continue to load up on large, expensive items they really don’t need around the house (thanks e-commerce!).
Foolish takeaway
Self-storage units are unsexy, but they’re necessary for rising urban populations. For many of us, our living quarters are getting smaller, while the number of our personal belongings continues to soar. At scale, this is going to result in a massive self-storage supply shortage over the next decade and beyond. StorageVault is the company that’s going to profit profoundly as it steps in to answer the call.
Not only can investors expect profound growth over the next decade and beyond, but given the company’s recession-resistant nature, it’s likely that the stock will hold its own better than most growth names on the TSX.
Will Ashworth called StorageVault the best stock that’s not on the TSX. I think he’s absolutely right and would be surprised if the stock doesn’t graduate to the TSX by the conclusion of 2019, when it may surpass the $1 billion market-cap milestone.
Stay hungry. Stay Foolish.
You’ve probably never even heard of this up-and-coming e-commerce powerhouse headquartered in Eastern Ontario…
But, despite coming public just last year, it’s already helping the likes of Budweiser… Tesla… Subway… and Red Bull move $9.9 BILLION (and counting) worth of goods online each year.
And now it’s caught the eye of the legendary investor who got behind Amazon.com in 1997 — just before it shot up over 23,000% and made investors like you and me rich beyond their wildest dreams.
