3 TSX Stocks at the Top of My Buy List

·4 min read

After the market crash in early 2020, there were several opportunities for investors to make money. Stocks with significant tailwinds from the pandemic saw massive rallies at first. However, that was soon followed by recovery rallies in a majority of TSX stocks.

2021 may not offer as many opportunities for investors, but those that do exist offer significant potential. While much of the market is focused on recovering from the pandemic, there are some industries, such as tech and renewable energy, that offer incredible long-term growth.

So while you may find some attractive stocks that are recovering from the pandemic, such as a stock like Corus Entertainment, the best long-term investments to make today will be in high-quality growth stocks.

Here are the three at the top of my buy list.

TSX real estate stock

The coronavirus pandemic impacted many industries. However, for some, the pandemic was a tailwind. That was the case for e-commerce stocks, which may have been the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic.

E-commerce was always going to grow. The pandemic just gave it a major boost. This fundamental economic shift has created growth potential for tech stocks. However, it’s also created opportunities for industrial real estate stocks, such as Granite REIT.

In the past, retail companies haven’t needed as much warehouse space because their brick-and-mortar locations hold a fair amount of inventory at a time. As companies elect to close their brick-and mortar-stores and focus more on e-commerce, though, the need for warehouse space is increasingly being demanded.

That’s why Granite, a leading Canadian industrial REIT, is one of the top long-term TSX stocks you can buy today.

Consumer staple stock

In addition to Granite REIT, Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc (TSX:ATD.B) is also one of the TSX stocks at the top of my buy list.

Alimentation Couche-Tard is one of the top long-term companies you can own. The growth it’s accomplished over the years, both organic and by acquisition, has created a tonne of value for shareholders.

Plus, management has proven that it can repeat the process. And with so many stores now in its portfolio, the move to focus more on organic growth and brand loyalty is prudent.

Because it’s such a high-quality, long-term stock, the dropoff it’s had in the last few weeks has made it extremely attractive.

ATD.B TSX stock

As you can see, Alimentation Couche-Tard has sold off quite considerably as of late. The TSX stock continues to trade below even the lowest of all analyst’s target prices.

At a current market price of $37.65, the stock currently trades down over 20% from its 52-week high. That’s an incredible discount for such a top growth stock and one that surely won’t last.

TSX retail stock

The last TSX stock at the top of my buy list is one of the best retail companies you can find, Dollarama Inc (TSX:DOL).

Dollarama is an exceptional business for several reasons. First of all, the company predominantly sells staples and household goods. This makes Dollarama highly recession-proof. However, because it offers consumers the ability to buy many household staples at cheaper prices than its big-box competitors, it actually means that Dollarama usually sees an increase in sales during periods of economic turmoil.

The other reason it’s such a high-quality TSX stock is the incredible merchandising the company has done over the years. With all the increased traffic from consumers looking to save money on essentials, Dollarama has had a major opportunity. And the company has capitalized on this opportunity, continuously improving its merchandise to rapidly grow its sales.

The sky’s the limit for Dollarama. It’s even invested in a dollar store chain in Latin America to help diversify its growth.

So if you’re looking for a high-quality TSX stock to buy and forget, Dollarama is one of the first stocks you consider.

Roche said the rest of the year would no longer be burdened by higher year-on-year comparisons from inflated sales during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Analyst: Trump 'lucky' contempt order not more severe

    STORY: The former president is in court for the second day of his trial on charges he falsified business records to cover up a $130,000 payment before the 2016 election to buy port star Stormy Daniels' silence about a sexual encounter she says they had in 2006.Vida Johnson, an associate law professor at Georgetown University, said that Trump is likely the beneficiary of his wealth and power, and that a less privileged citizen could have already faced penalties as severe as imprisonment.Judge Juan Merchan is considering whether Trump should be punished for violating a gag order that prevents him from criticizing witnesses and others involved in the case.Prosecutors are asking Merchan to fine Trump for criticizing Stormy Daniels and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, both of whom are expected to testify. They also have highlighted Trump's claim last week that people were lying to get on the jury so they could convict him.Merchan could opt to fine Trump $1,000 for each of those violations, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has requested.Those fines, Georgetown Law’s Vida Johnson told Reuters, are relatively mild.“It is absolutely common in courthouses around the country for judges when they use their contempt power, to hold people in contempt of court and they face jail time,” she said.“It appears to me that Trump is the beneficiary of any politics that might be at play. And I think those politics are that he's a wealthy person with a lot of power, and that's why both the prosecutors haven't asked for more serious sanctions.”Justice Merchan said on Tuesday he would not immediately rule on the fine request, but he appeared unmoved by Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche's arguments that Trump was responding to political attacks, not intimidating witnesses."You've presented nothing," Merchan said. "I've asked you eight, or nine times, show me the exact post he was responding to. You've not even been able to do that once.""I have to tell you right now, you're losing all credibility with the court," the judge added.After the session, Trump repeated his claim that the gag order violated his constitutional free speech rights, calling the proceedings a “kangaroo court”.On Tuesday, the first trial witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, testified that he used his supermarket tabloid to suppress stories that might have hurt Trump's 2016 presidential bid.

An after-hours surge in shares of EV maker Tesla following its promise of new models, and upbeat earnings from some U.S. companies lifted sentiment, spurring a rally in tech stocks across Asia, with Taiwan, South Korean and Japan's Nikkei leading the charge.

    Standoffs between pro-Palestinian student protesters and universities grew increasingly tense on both coasts Wednesday as hundreds encamped at Columbia University faced a deadline from the administration to clear out while dozens remained barricaded inside two buildings on a Northern California college campus. Both are part of intensifying demonstrations over Israel's war with Hamas by university students across the country, leading to dozens of arrests on charges of trespassing or disorderly conduct. Columbia's President Minouche Shafik in a statement Wednesday set a midnight deadline to reach an agreement with students to clear the encampment, or “we will consider alternative options.”
