3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
3 Blue-Chip Stocks Every Canadian Should Own
Every Canadian investor should have a couple of blue-chip stocks in their portfolio. Blue-chip stocks are attractive because they are large, established businesses that are not likely to disappear anytime soon.
每個加拿大投資者的投資組合中都應該有幾隻藍籌股。藍籌股之所以具有吸引力，是因爲它們是大型的老牌企業，不太可能在短期內消失。
They may not be the fastest-growing companies, but they tend to steadily deliver for shareholders. If you are looking for some top blue-chip stocks to own, here are three Canadian stocks.
它們可能不是增長最快的公司，但它們往往會穩步爲股東帶來收益。如果你正在尋找一些值得擁有的頂級藍籌股，這裏有三隻加拿大股票。
These two blue-chip stocks are some of Canada's oldest companies
這兩隻藍籌股是加拿大歷史最悠久的公司之一
Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) and Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) are some of Canadaâs longest-running businesses. Even after 100 years, their transportation networks remain crucial to the Canadian and North American economy. This makes them ideal blue-chip stocks.
加拿大太平洋鐵路（TSX: CP）和加拿大國家鐵路（TSX: CNR）是加拿大運營時間最長的企業。即使在100年之後，他們的交通網絡仍然對加拿大和北美經濟至關重要。這使它們成爲理想的藍籌股。
CP: A faster-than-average growth rate
CP：增長速度快於平均水平
Canadian Pacific is a unique railroad stock because of its above-industry growth potential. Last year, it acquired the Kansas City Southern network. The railway has expanded its network from Canada, across the U.S. and Mexico.
加拿大太平洋公司是獨一無二的鐵路股票，因爲其增長潛力高於行業水平。去年，它收購了堪薩斯城南方網絡。該鐵路已將其網絡從加拿大擴展到美國和墨西哥。
Nearshoring and localized manufacturing are new trends that should support CPâs network. Despite a short-term freight/transport recession, CP continues to focus on annualized mid-teens growth for the next four to five years.
近岸和本地化製造是新趨勢，應該支持CPA的網絡。儘管存在短期貨運/運輸衰退，但CP在未來四到五年內繼續將重點放在青少年年化增長上。
This isnât the cheapest blue-chip stock. However, if it can hit its long-term targets, shareholders will be pleased they owned this stock.
這不是最便宜的藍籌股。但是，如果它能夠實現長期目標，股東們會很高興他們擁有這隻股票。
CN: Cheaper but growing slower
CN：更便宜但增長速度較慢
Canadian National stock is almost five multiples cheaper than CP. Its 2% dividend yield is substantially larger. CNR also has a better dividend growth track record. Its dividend per share has grown by a 13% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past decade. If you want a growing stream of dividends, Canadian National is the stock to own.
加拿大國民股票比CP便宜近五倍。其2％的股息收益率要高得多。CNR的股息增長記錄也有所改善。在過去十年中，其每股股息複合年增長率（CAGR）增長了13％。如果你想要越來越多的股息，加拿大國民是你值得擁有的股票。
While it has a strong network across Canada and the U.S., the CP merger does weaken its position to an extent. The good news is that CN has an industry-leading balance sheet. While it may push solid single-digit revenue growth, it can use tactical share buybacks to elevate earnings per share growth.
儘管它在加拿大和美國擁有強大的網絡，但CP的合併確實在一定程度上削弱了其地位。好消息是，CN的資產負債表處於行業領先地位。儘管它可能會推動穩健的個位數收入增長，但它可以使用戰術性股票回購來提高每股收益的增長。
CN has an intelligent management team working to maximize its network velocity and capacity. If this blue-chip company can continue improving operating results, shareholders will continue to do well holding this stock.
CN擁有一支智能管理團隊，致力於最大限度地提高其網絡速度和容量。如果這家藍籌股公司能夠繼續改善經營業績，股東們將繼續保持良好的持有該股的表現。
ATD: A retail blue-chip stock
ATD：零售藍籌股
Another great Canadian blue-chip stock is Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD). It is hardly an exciting business. It owns and operates convenience stores and gas stations around the world.
另一隻優秀的加拿大藍籌股是Alimentation Couche-Tard（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：ATD）。這並不是一項令人興奮的生意。它在世界各地擁有並經營便利店和加油站。
Gas stations are not fast-growing businesses. However, Couche-Tard has been an expert at maximizing profitability from the locations it has (or is building out). Smart acquisitions have been a key to its success. The convenience and gas retailer just added a major retail portfolio in northern Europe.
加油站不是快速增長的企業。但是，Couche-Tard一直是最大限度地利用其擁有（或正在建造）的地點實現盈利能力的專家。明智的收購一直是其成功的關鍵。這家便利和天然氣零售商剛剛在北歐增加了主要的零售投資組合。
Couche-Tard is temporarily getting hit by a slowing economy. This blue-chip stock has underperformed the market this year. However, the company has traditionally used slow markets to aggressively buy back stock.
Couche-Tard暫時受到經濟放緩的打擊。這隻藍籌股今年的表現低於市場。但是，該公司傳統上一直利用緩慢的市場來積極回購股票。
Likewise, it has consistently been growing its dividend by a 20%-plus rate. If you can look past a couple more quarters of weaker-than-normal results, this stock should continue to perform well long term.
同樣，它的股息一直以20％以上的速度增長。如果你能再回顧幾個季度的業績低於正常水平，那麼該股的長期表現應該會繼續保持良好。
