They report next week. AWS, the biggest cloud name, will show mid-30s growth, he expects.
Upgraded today with a price target of $180. It's an AI beneficiary, not victim, and can't be disrupted by AI. Investors are starting to agree with this point. 90% of the Fortune 500 uses NOW software.
The 18x PE may be pricey, but the PEG ratio is only 1.2.
It's suppose to be an inflation hedge, but the price has been going down. It's at a peak valuation. Can't say where the price is going. But gold doesn't pay interest, like a T-bill. From 2015-2023, gold moved sideways. He prefers buying stocks.

Our PAST TOP PICK with PSLV has triggered its stop at $25.50. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.
Bank indices around the world have very nice long-term price patterns. They're in a secular, multi-year bull market (unless you think we're going to face a major credit event). Banks have been pretty good at managing credit risk. During that run, stocks pull back to the long-term MA from time to time. All the banks have done this.
Likes financials as a group -- one of the 3 core groups he's focused on. With long-term rising rates, power is in the hands of the lender rather than the borrower. As long as banks can hold those long-term MAs, rising NIMs should be a pretty strong driver.
Wealth management in pretty good shape. Risk currently to capital markets revenue if some of the big IPOs don't happen.
It was a volatile Thursday on the markets as disappointing forecasts from Meta and SpaceX stoked fears over AI spending.

Investors flocked out of tech and into the safe havens of dividend stocks. On the TSX, telcos and real estate were the top performers and Telus was the most-active Canadian name, rallying 5.01%.
