Stock Talk Podcast Episode 169

KeyStone’s Stock Talk – Canadian & US Small-Cap Growth & Dividend Stocks, Tips & Portfolio Building Strategies

This week we are excited to be introducing a new contributing analyst to the show. Ryan will start with a brief overview of our Special U.S. SaaS / Software Stock Report which we will be releasing next week to our U.S and VIP research clients. Ryan will look at current valuations in Tech, specifically the software segment, and where valuations stand after the crash from a 10-year historical perspective.

Splits are topical right now with Alphabet about do its 20-1 split, and another couple of companies in our coverage Fortinet (FTNT:NASADAQ), the cybersecurity giant and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN:TSX) conducting splits in the past couple weeks as well as the high profile splits of Apple Inc. (AAPL:NASDAQ) and Tesla Inc. (TSLA:NASDAQ) over the past year – we have fielded a number of questions in this area. Brennan will delve into the splits, perhaps trying to perform them himself, and more appropriately, what they mean for you as an investor.

Finally, in his first segment, Brett will be looking at a cautionary tale in the once high-flying Voyager Digital Ltd. (VOYG:TSX) - cryptocurrency platform that offers a secure way to trade over 100 different crypto assets using its easy-to-use mobile application. From its 2021 highs over $32, the stock has dropped 98% to close this week in the $0.60 range. Brett lets us know what went wrong and where the business which had posted high revenue growth, is at today.
