1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades
Written by Andrew Walker at The Motley Fool Canada Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) saw its share price take a hit over the past year as oil prices fell from their 2024 highs. Investors who missed the bounce off the April low are wondering if CNQ stock is still undervalued and good to buy for a self-directed Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) focused on dividends and total returns. Canadian Natural Resources stock price CNRL trades near $43 per share at the time of writing. The stock is down from a high around $55 last year. It slipped as low as $35 during the market rout a few months ago. CNRL is a giant in the Canadian energy patch. The company owns a diversified portfolio of assets, including oil sands, conventional heavy oil, conventional light oil, offshore oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production and reserves. CNRL is typically the sole owner or majority owner of its businesses. This gives management the flexibility to quickly move capital around the portfolio to take advantage of positive shifts in commodity prices. In addition, CNRL's size and strong balance sheet enable the company to make large strategic acquisitions at opportune times to boost earnings and reserves. For example, the company spent US$6.5 billion in 2024 to buy the Canadian assets owned by Chevron. CNRL says its breakeven West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price is around US$40 to US$45 per barrel. At the time of writing, WTI trades near US$66 per barrel. That's down from more than US$80 last year, but still at a level where CNRL can generate decent margins. The large natural gas division provides a good hedge against lower oil prices. Natural gas prices are higher in 2025 than they were through most of the past two years. Oil market outlook Aside from brief spikes due to geopolitical events, the price of oil has trended lower over the past year. This is due to weak demand from China and concerns that tariffs imposed by the United States will lead to a recession in the American and global economies. At the same time, OPEC intends to increase supply to regain lost market share. Non-OPEC producers, including Canada and the United States, are also increasing production. As such, analysts widely expect oil prices to remain under pressure through the rest of 2025 and into 2026. That being said, a major geopolitical disruption in the Middle East or an announcement of a concrete trade deal between the U.S. and China could push oil prices higher as traders adjust demand and supply expectations. Dividends CNRL raised its dividend in each of the past 25 years. This is a great track record for a business that relies on commodity prices to determine its margins. Investors who buy CNQ stock at the current level can get a dividend yield of 5.5%. The company continues to generate solid earnings through increased production from acquisitions and the drilling program. This should support ongoing dividend growth. Time to buy? Near-term volatility is expected and the stock could easily retest the 2025 low if trade negotiations between the U.S. and its largest trading partners go off the rails. That being said, dividend investors might want to start nibbling on the stock at this price point and look to add to the position on further weakness. At the current yield, you get paid well to ride out some turbulence. The post 1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.

3 Canadian Tech Stocks to Buy Now for High Growth Potential
Written by Chris MacDonald at The Motley Fool Canada The Canadian tech sector is chock full of growth stocks long-term investors have done well owning, particularly during this most recent bull market following the Global Financial Crisis. Indeed, the tech sector continues to be on a roll, as investors look for any way to play the surge in adoption AI should bring to many top technology platforms. I'm going to highlight three such players I think could have massive upside on the TSX, and why now is the time to consider diving into these particular names. Without further ado, let's dive in! Open Text Open Text (TSX:OTEX) is among the leading Canadian software providers that's yet to see a significant uptick despite its strong fundamentals. This is a stock that's down over the past year, and down roughly 30% over the past five years. No doubt, some investors may be wondering why this stock made the list to begin with. For one, I think Open Text has among the most attractive valuations in its sector, with a price-earnings ratio of just 12 times. That's less than half the industry average, and one that's not pricing in a heck of a lot of growth moving forward. Now, the company did see revenue decline by around 13% on a year-over-year basis, so some of this discount is warranted. But for long-term investors who believe the company can return to growth, it may be worth picking up shares before this stock rebounds. That's the approach I think makes the most sense right now. Constellation Software Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) is the next top tech stock on my list. That's for good reason. The stock chart above tells a story that I think is really compelling. The company's long-term growth trajectory is truly world-class, and Constellation Software remains one of my top bullish picks in this sector for this reason. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results, and plenty will need to go right for the company to see the kind of continued growth many investors are expecting. That said, the company's long-term growth profile has been driven by an acquisition model that still holds. Constellation continues to acquire and integrate small and mid-cap tech companies into its portfolio, improving their ROI as the company grows. Until the tech market becomes less fragmented and owner-operators choose not to sell, this is a stock to simply hold and buy more on dips. Kinaxis As far as Canadian tech stocks are concerned, Kinaxis (TSX:KXS) is the latest addition to my watch list of stocks I think investors may want to have a closer look at. Kinaxis' upside really comes from the company's recent AI integrations, with its core platform seeing strong growth in recent quarters. The company's revenue is expected to grow at a double-digit pace in the coming years, with recent quarters seeing robust growth of a similar magnitude. Indeed, if the AI revolution is as big as everyone's saying and these are the results of the company's efforts thus far, I think there's more upside on the table long term. The company's valuation is much steeper than that of most in the Canadian tech sector. But with the sort of fundamental growth drivers Kinaxis has at play, there are few better options in the market right now in my view.

First Majestic Silver: Buy, Sell, or Hold in July 2025?
Written by Joey Frenette at The Motley Fool Canada The great silver melt-up of summer 2025 is ongoing and could take the precious metal to even greater heights before the fourth quarter hits. Indeed, it's tough to justify getting into silver ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) or bullion after such a sudden surge. And while it's hard to tell what the next move in the price of silver will be, I do think that some of the miner stocks are deserving of more love from investors. After all, they do stand to benefit from the recent rally in silver and don't seem to have priced in the recent momentum, which could persist through the year's end. So, if you're ready to look beyond gold, perhaps it's time to consider the broad basket of silver mining plays which, I think, have greater upside potential and far more in the way of value than those silver coins and bars! It's been a majestic 2025 for silver and its miners. Can the gains continue? First Majestic Silver (TSX:AG), one of the premier miners, has been heating up of late, now up 38% year to date, beating the gains posted by the TSX Index and S&P 500. Despite the recent strength, shares of the miner are still beaten down and well off their highs last seen in the early innings of 2021. Will the latest silver surge help stage a run back to prior highs? It's too early to tell. If silver can remain elevated for longer, I believe that several forces are at work that could help propel AG stock from these levels. Looking ahead, the company could make the most of its high-grade mines as it ramps up production. Furthermore, the firm has exceptional management and no shortage of bullish analysts who think shares could be in for a solid next year of returns. With a strong first and second quarter of results in the books, First Majestic is upbeat about what could be a 'transformational 2025.' Of course, the firm needs to continue firing on all cylinders as silver prices do their thing. AG stock looks way too cheap Today, shares of First Majestic go for 4.2 times price-to-sales (P/S) and 1.8 times price-to-book (P/B). With a trove of high-grade mines and the ability to make the most of the 2025 silver surge, I certainly wouldn't sleep on the name, especially if you're looking for a cheap way to catch up to the recent rally in silver. Of course, as is the case with many mining stocks, you're going to have to deal with more volatility than is experienced by the broader indices. With a 1.2 beta, AG stock is more correlated to the TSX Index. But for a miner, it's certainly not the choppiest ride out there, making it a suitable addition for Canadian investors seeking greater diversification, dividend growth, and a way to gain from continued strength in silver (and gold). So, is AG stock a buy going into August? I'd say it's a great value right here. Despite the hot start to the year, I think its rally is underappreciated, with stronger legs than the price of silver itself. In short, First Majestic is a good buy, and better than bullion itself.
