2 Stocks in the Mid-Cap of TSX that you can Buy Now


calculate and analyze stock

The Canadian equity markets have resumed their stellar run after a rough month in September. At writing, the S&P/TSX Composite Index is up by over 5% since its October 4th low, and it is touching new all-time highs with each passing day. The Canadian benchmark index is up by over 21% year to date. Despite concerns of rising inflation, the stock market looks ripe for the picking.

If you are just starting investing, it is crucial to make a well-informed decision about the assets you can add to your portfolio to make a running start as a self-directed investor. You might feel tempted to go after the biggest names on the stock market if you have the capital to invest. However, I would highly recommend taking a good look at mid-cap TSX stocks in the current operating environment.

Investing in mid-cap stocks could provide you with the stability that high-growth stocks do not have while offering superior short- and medium-term returns than well-established blue-chip stocks that have little more room to grow. Provided you choose the right companies, you could set yourself up to become a much wealthier investor in the long run.

Today, I will discuss two of the top mid-cap TSX stocks that you can consider adding to your portfolio for this purpose.

goeasy

goeasy (TSX:GSY) has been a terrific performer on the TSX for the last two decades and has grown considerably during that time. The company provides subprime loans to people who cannot qualify for loans through traditional lenders, and the growing debt crisis has led to significant demand for the services it provides.

Despite catering to a significant number of customers, goeasy has only acquired 3% of its addressable market. It means that the stock has plenty of growth to offer.

The company recently acquired LendCare, adding another business vertical under its belt and increasing its addressable market. The company raised US$320 million in liquidity through various debt facilities. Combined with strong economic activity in the coming months, the demand for its services could go through the roof.

goeasy stock is trading for $191.41 per share at writing, up by 101% year to date and a massive 6,300% in the last 20 years, with most of its growth coming after the market recovered from the pandemic-fueled selloff frenzy in 2020.

Docebo

Docebo (TSX:DCBO)(NASDAQ:DCBO) is another company that has seen a massive boost during the pandemic. The $3.31 billion market capitalization company is a learning management solutions provider for enterprises, their employees, and their customers. The onset of COVID-19 and ensuing lockdown measures to curb the spread of the disease led to a surge in demand for its services.

The company delivered an impressive return of over 385% last year, and it has maintained its strong momentum in 2021. The stock is trading for $101.26 per share at writing, up by 26.65% year to date. However, the stock declined by 26% between September 16 and October 4 amid the broader selloff in the market. Its share price has climbed by almost 17% from its October 4th low.

The company’s customer base continues to grow. Combined with rising average contract values and most of its revenues coming from recurring sources, Docebo stock could provide you with significant returns for a long time.

Foolish takeaway

While mid-cap stocks offer relatively better stability than small-cap growth stocks, you should know that they tend to be more volatile than their larger peers. Determining the right mid-cap stocks to invest in can make a world of difference in whether your investment portfolio can outperform the market to deliver you superior long-term returns.

goeasy stock and Docebo stock are two high-quality mid-cap stocks that undoubtedly possess the potential to deliver on that promise. It could be the right time to pick up the shares of these two companies while they trade for a reasonable value on the stock market.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...

TC Energy TC Energy (TSX:TRP)(NYSE:TRP) has raised its dividend in each of the past 22 years, and investors should see the distribution continue to grow at a steady pace.
