尽管昨天出现回调,标准普尔/tsx综合指数今年上涨超过22%,这要归功于选举后的反弹。在投资者乐观情绪改善的背景下,投资者可以购买以下三只中型股票,由于其稳健的财务状况和良好的增长前景,提供了极好的买入机会。
Lightspeed Commerce
利特斯派德商务
On Monday, Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD) announced it would slash 200 jobs amid its reorganization initiatives to improve profitability. Management also added that it will incur most of these restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Amid the fear of restructuring charges hurting its third-quarter earnings, the company witnessed substantial selling yesterday, with its stock price falling 8.2%.
在周一,Lightspeed Commerce (tsx:LSPD) 宣布将裁减200个职位,以改善盈利能力的重组措施。管理层还表示,大部分重组费用将在2025财年的第三季度产生。在担心重组费用会影响其第三季度盈利的情况下,该公司昨天出现了大量抛售,其股价下跌了8.2%。
However, Lightspeed's long-term growth prospects look healthy amid an increasing transition toward an omnichannel selling model. Also, the company continues to launch innovative products to meet the ever-increasing needs of its customers, especially in the North American retail and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) hospitality sectors. Also, its unified POS and payments offering continues to expand the adoption of its payments platform, thus driving its GPV (gross payment volume). Along with these growth initiatives, the reorganization could boost its profitability, making it attractive for investors with a three-year investment horizon.
然而,伴随着向全渠道销售模式日益转变,Lightspeed的长期增长前景看起来良好。此外,该公司持续推出创新产品,以满足客户日益增长的需求,尤其是在北美零售和欧洲、中东、非洲(EMEA)酒店行业。此外,其统一的pos和支付产品继续推动其支付平台的采用,从而推动其毛利率(gross payment volume)。随着这些增长计划的实施,重组可能会提高其盈利能力,使其对具有三年投资视野的投资者具有吸引力。
goeasy
goeasy
Another midcap stock I am bullish on would be goeasy (TSX:GSY), an alternative financial services company that serves primarily subprime customers. The company has been expanding its loan portfolio at a healthier rate, boosting its financials. Over the previous five years, its topline and diluted EPS (earnings per share) have grown at an annualized rate of 20.1% and 28.7%, respectively.
另一只我看好的中型股票是goeasy (tsx:GSY),这是一家主要服务于次级客户的替代金融服务公司。该公司以更健康的速度扩大其贷款组合,提升了其财务状况。在过去五年中,其营业收入和摊薄后每股收益(earnings per share)均以20.1%和28.7%的年化率增长。
Moreover, I expect the uptrend in goeasy's financials to continue due to its full range of product offerings, multiple distribution channels, and geographical expansion. Also, falling interest rates could boost economic activities, driving credit demand. Meanwhile, the company's management expects its 2026 loan portfolio to be between $6–$6.4 billion, with the midpoint representing a 41% increase from its current position. An expanding loan portfolio could drive its topline at an annualized rate of 14% while improving its operating margin to 42% compared to 38.1% in 2023.
此外,由于goeasy提供全系列产品、多个分销渠道以及地理扩展,我预计其财务的上升趋势将持续。此外,利率的下降可能会促进经济活动,推动信用需求。与此同时,该公司的管理层预计2026年的贷款组合将在6亿至64亿之间,中间值代表其当前水平的41%增长。不断扩大的贷款组合可能会以14%的年化率推动其营业收入,同时将其营业利润率提高至42%,相比之下,2023年为38.1%。
goeasy has also rewarded its shareholders by raising its dividends at a 30% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for the last 10 years. With a forward dividend yield of 2.7% and an attractive NTM (next 12 months) price-to-earnings multiple of 8.9, goeasy offers an attractive buying opportunity.
goeasy在过去10年里通过以30%的复合年增长率提高分红,回馈了其股东。以前瞻性分红收益率2.7%和吸引人的NTm(未来12个月)市盈率为8.9,goeasy提供了一个有吸引力的买入机会。
Kinaxis
Kinaxis

Also, the expanding customer base, higher customer retention rate, and growing annual recurring revenue support its long-term growth, thus supporting its stock price growth in the coming years.
在营业收入增长和毛利率扩展的背景下,其调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)增长了32%,而调整后的EBITDA利润率从21%扩大至25%。该公司还从其运营中产生了2950万现金。在报告第三季度业绩后,该公司已连续第三次上调2024年盈利指引。此外,客户基础的扩大、更高的客户保留率和持续增长的年度经常性营业收入支持了其长期增长,从而支持其股票价格在未来几年的增长。
