Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (CVE:YEG)?

Yahoo07-05-2025
Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (CVE:YEG), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a decent share price growth of 11% on the TSXV over the last few months. The recent jump in the share price has meant that the company is trading around its 52-week high. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Yorkton Equity Group's outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
What Is Yorkton Equity Group Worth?
Good news, investors! Yorkton Equity Group is still a bargain right now according to our price multiple model, which compares the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we've used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock's cash flows. we find that Yorkton Equity Group's ratio of 4.08x is below its peer average of 9.08x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Real Estate industry. What's more interesting is that, Yorkton Equity Group's share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What does the future of Yorkton Equity Group look like?
TSXV:YEG Earnings and Revenue Growth May 7th 2025
Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it's the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with a negative profit growth of -18% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn't appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Yorkton Equity Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? Although YEG is currently trading below the industry PE ratio, the negative profit outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to YEG, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.

Trump visits Iowa to kick off America's 250th anniversary, reassure farmers on trade

By Nandita Bose WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump travels to Iowa on Thursday to kick off celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary next year and to tout recent trade and legislative actions to heartland voters who helped propel his return to the White House. Trump will deliver a campaign-style speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, a familiar stop for presidential candidates in the early primary state. Trump won Iowa's 2024 Republican caucuses by a historically large margin and carried the state by 13 percentage points in the general election. His latest visit comes ahead of a Friday deadline he set for Congress to pass his sweeping tax and spending legislation, a cornerstone of his second-term domestic agenda that touches everything from immigration to energy policy. In remarks mixing patriotism and policy, Trump will aim to reassure Iowa's voters that his administration is defending their interests and delivering tangible results, according to a person with knowledge of the speech. Trump's trade policies have whipsawed agricultural communities in Iowa, creating economic uncertainty and testing loyalties. Iowa farmers have been hit hard, especially with China's retaliatory tariffs slashing soybean exports and prices. In a Truth Social post on Tuesday announcing his trip, Trump called Iowa "one of my favorite places in the world." "I'll also tell you some of the GREAT things I've already done on Trade, especially as it relates to Farmers. You are going to be very happy with what I say," Trump said. At recent Republican town halls in Iowa, tensions flared as farmers and constituents pressed congressional leaders, including Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, to push back against Trump's retaliatory tariffs. Some Republicans also worry that deep cuts to the Medicaid health program in their sweeping tax bill will hurt the party's prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. Trump has made several memorable trips to the Iowa State Fairgrounds. In 2015, the reality TV star and presidential candidate gave children rides on his personal helicopter as he aimed to overshadow Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. In 2023, Trump's private jet buzzed low over the crowds in another flashy power move, stealing the spotlight from primary rival Ron DeSantis as he campaigned on the ground below.

Guard against market volatility in the second half with ‘boring' stocks, investor Jeff Kilburg says

Investors may find "boring" stocks a safer bet heading into the second half of the year, according to Jeff Kilburg, founder and CEO of KKM Financial. Markets were plagued by heightened volatility at the end of the first quarter and the start of the second, as fear and uncertainty stemming from President Donald Trump's trade war spread. Stocks reached their lows of the year in early April, shortly after Trump announced his universal tariff policies. While stocks have recovered their losses since then — with the S & P 500 closing Wednesday 25% above its April closing low — Kilburg warned that volatility may not ease up for the reminder of 2025. In fact, he believes that the market is entering a new volatility regime and may continue to be sensitive to any type of geopolitical tensions. Kilburg pointed to the market's knee-jerk reaction to the Israel-Iran conflict as proof. "I think investor attention and needing to monitor your investments has never been more needed," he told CNBC in a recent interview. With volatility lingering at elevated levels, Kilburg believes that now is the time for investors to reposition themselves into the more defensive, blue-chip stocks that were sold off in April. "Some of these names that get no love on CNBC air waves, those are blue-chip industrial names that we've seen people tilt back into," he said. "The ripple effect that has happened after that really tumultuous couple of weeks is that people really want to own names that they know. They want to own names that they can touch and feel, and those are kind of the boring names." These more "boring," blue-chip stalwarts could help hedge against any upcoming uncertainty, Kilburg added, and may be why investors are again favoring industrial stocks. "That's why people have gotten a little more defensive, because honestly, we don't know what President Trump is going to say next. We don't know what his policy or ambition is next," he said. "Investors being uncertain of what shoe could potentially drop next, that has kind of made portfolios tilt more industrial, more defensive." Kilburg's top stock picks One name Kilburg likes that belongs to this category is Duke Energy . The electric and power stock has rallied nearly 9% this year, not including its 3.5% yield. Last week, Goldman Sachs upgraded its rating on Duke. "We raise Duke Energy from Neutral to Buy as the stock has lagged more defensive peers YTD and is making regulatory progress towards building significant generation that is not captured at current levels in our view," wrote analyst Carly Davenport. The bank's new price target of $132, lifted from $125, represents upside of approximately 13% from Duke Energy's Wednesday close. Another name Kilburg highlighted was Waste Management , which has gained 11% in 2025. Last month, Melius Research analyst Rob Wertheimer initiated coverage of the stock with a buy rating, highlighting its "stable growth in a chaotic world." "Despite the market's growing appreciation for the quality of these industry leaders, we think there's more outperformance to come in both the short and long run, from lower risk, less downside to earnings, and higher growth," he wrote. "While relative multiples are roughly in line with historical levels, we think the premium deserved now is larger than in the past." Kilburg also mentioned Visa , up TK% this year. In June, Mizuho upgraded the credit card issuer to an outperform rating from neutral. "We see more reason for optimism as the remaining cash-to-card runway in the U.S. is longer than previously expected (we est. true U.S. card penetration at ~75% vs. 80-90% consensus). This leaves room for another decade of solid top-line growth domestically," wrote Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev. "Plus, V's performance in Canada & Nordics offers evidence of above-PCE growth, even when card penetration is > 90%." In the same note, Dolev lifted his price target to $425 per share from $359. This updated forecast represents a TK% upside from Visa's Wednesday closing price. Other names Kilburg highlighted include Costco , Verizon , JPMorgan , Masco , CVS , Comcast , Nutrien and Sysco .
