1 AI Stock Up 11% to Own in a TFSA for Long-Term Growth
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada When it comes to investing in artificial intelligence (AI) for the long term, it's easy to get caught up in the hype. Flashy start-ups and soaring valuations can make it tempting to bet big on the next breakthrough. But in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), where compounding over decades matters more than chasing momentum, I'd go with something a little different. I'd choose Constellation Software (TSX:CSU), a Canadian tech powerhouse that has not only stood the test of time but continues to grow through a methodical and profitable approach. If I could only own one AI stock in a TFSA, this would be it. Here's why. Constellation isn't the kind of company that grabs headlines. It's not building robots or developing large language models. Instead, it acquires and operates vertical market software companies that serve niche industries, from healthcare to utilities to municipal governments. These businesses often have loyal customers, stable recurring revenue, and strong pricing power. Over time, Constellation has acquired hundreds of these firms, knitting together a global empire of reliable cash flows. That acquisition model is the secret sauce. In its most recent quarterly earnings report for Q1 2025, Constellation reported revenue of US$2.6 million, up 13% from the same period in 2024. Net income came in at US$115 million, or US$5.44 per diluted share, compared to US$105 million or US$4.95 a year earlier. Operating cash flow reached US$827 million, and free cash flow available to shareholders hit US$510 million. That kind of financial strength is rare in tech, especially among companies with a hand in AI. Where AI comes into play is subtle, but important. Constellation's companies increasingly incorporate AI and automation into the software they offer. It might be predictive analytics for logistics, intelligent scheduling for healthcare, or fraud detection for financial services. These aren't moonshots, but practical tools that improve efficiency and make customers stickier. AI in this context becomes a value-add, not a distraction. The company also completed aggregate cash acquisitions of US$94 million (US$133 million including deferred payments) during the quarter and invested US$174 million to acquire 9.99% of Asseco Poland. That speaks to the size of its war chest and its ongoing commitment to expand. Management has always been disciplined in how it spends. It avoids bidding wars and prefers to buy companies with long-term potential, even if it means slower growth on paper. This conservative strategy keeps returns strong and risks in check. Of course, no stock is perfect. The share price, sitting near $5,000, isn't exactly approachable for everyone. It trades at a premium valuation, with a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. Some investors may hesitate, thinking the growth has already been priced in. And it's true that organic growth remains in the low single digits, with acquisitions doing most of the heavy lifting. But that's also why it works, the model is repeatable, and management hasn't strayed from what it does best. The dividend is modest at US$1.00 per share quarterly, but that's not the draw. This is a long-term growth story built on free cash flow and compounding. The dividend is more of a bonus, not the main event. In a TFSA, where income isn't taxed and gains build up quietly over years, Constellation's steady growth becomes even more powerful. There are sexier AI stocks out there, no doubt. But many come with hype, losses, and hope. Constellation comes with revenue, profit and a 30-year track record of smart acquisitions. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; it just buys the best wheels and makes them better. For those looking to hold a single AI-related stock in a TFSA for decades, it's hard to beat Constellation Software. It's not just a tech stock. It's a disciplined compounder with exposure to some of the most important technological trends, including AI, while remaining grounded in fundamentals. It might not be flashy, but it works.

Clara Technologies Clarifies Disclosures at the Request of the BCSC
VANCOUVER, BC, July 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Clara Technologies Corp. (the "Company") (CSE: CLTE) (WKN: A3E4MS) announces today that at the request of the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC"), the Company wishes to clarify statements made in its July 7 news release and warn investors about unrelated third-party promotional activities. Further to the Company's news release dated July 7, 2025, the Company would like to clarify that the Australian software firm that the Company has engaged for a 14-month strategic development relationship focused on building out the Company's Sales Buddi platform is Code Heroes Pty Ltd. In the same press release, the Company also stated that its Sales Buddi mobile application ("Sales Buddi") is now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The Company considers the initial user adoption and technical performance of Sales Buddi encouraging given there has been minimal technical issues and functionality disruptions and the absence of any formal marketing or promotion of the app to date. The Company has not yet initiated any sales or marketing activities for Sales Buddi. The Company also wishes to clarify its recent press releases which refer to Sales Buddi as an "artificial-intelligence-powered mobile sales coaching platform", "Quantum AI Sales platform", "AI-powered" and "quantum enhanced AI". The current version of Sales Buddi incorporates artificial-intelligence technology but not quantum computing. Quantum computing is still generally being developed and is therefore not yet incorporated in Sales Buddi. Once commercially viable, Sales Buddi plans to incorporate quantum computing to improve its speed and efficiency. The BCSC made the Company aware of two electronic articles (the "Articles") published by Guardian Globe entitled "Here is Why This Quantum Computing Stock Could Surge 300%"; and (2) an article from Global Gazette on June 28 entitled "Quantum Gold Rush: One Under-the-Radar Tech Stock That Can Leap 300%". Prior to receiving copies of the Articles from the BCSC, the Company was unaware of these Articles. The Articles included speculative statements and failed to include important disclosures including, but not limited to, risk factors and forward-looking statements typically provided in the Company's official materials and that the Company's app Sales Buddi does not include quantum computing. The Company believes that the Articles may be misleading to investors and disclaims any responsibility for their content, creation, or distribution. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no officers, or directors of the Company, and none of its service providers were involved, directly or indirectly, in the creation, dissemination or payment for the Articles. The Company strongly discourages reliance on any third-party materials that are not sourced from official disclosures filed on SEDAR+ ( or issued via authorized newswire distribution channels. Investors are encouraged to consult licensed investment professionals and to rely only on the Company's official filings and news releases when making investment decisions. To date, the Company has not engaged in any promotional, marketing or investor relations activities.
