1 Stock You Should Buy in July 2022


Target. Stand out from the crowd

There’s no shortage of cheap TSX stocks to buy as we move further into a wildly volatile summer season.

Indeed, there are considerable risks as central banks tighten to squeeze high inflation back below the 3% mark. With a rising risk of falling into recession by the first half of 2023, waiting for a better entry point seems to be the best course of action for rattled investors who have declared that dip-buying is dead.

This market plunge may be less painful (so far) than the 2020 market meltdown. But it’s dragged on for so long that investor patience is being put to the test.

The days of quick riches from buying dips seems to be over. But that doesn’t mean you should take a raincheck on stocks altogether. Though the TINA (there is no alternative) phase seems to have come to a crashing end, it’s worth noting that there aren’t many great alternatives that have emerged over the past few months.

While bonds have slightly higher yields than a year ago, they still appear to be a losing bet on a real basis.

What good is a 3.25% interest rate if inflation continues rising to unprecedented heights?

On Friday, bond yields took a small step back, with a growing possibility of rate cuts that may be needed to revive the economy after inflation is dealt with. At this juncture, it’s unclear when the Fed or Bank of Canada will go from tightening to easing. In any case, investors with at least a three-year horizon should be looking to the individual bargains that have emerged in recent quarters.

Don’t wait for cheap stocks to get cheaper before doing some buying!

Sure, cheap stocks can become cheaper in the face of a vicious recession. However, it’s worth remembering that stock markets tend to point to economic recessions — not the other way around. With some chance of a recession baked into the stock market, there’s a good chance that stocks could turn a tide well before it’s obvious that recessionary storm clouds are above us.

That’s why I’d continue buying incrementally over time. And, if you can help it, buy more than you normally would, with valuations now skewed towards the lower end of the historical range.

In July, I’m a fan of TFI International (TSX:TFII)(NYSE:TFII), as it looks to recover from a 35% plunge from peak to trough.

TFI International

TFI is an LTL (less-than-load) trucker that’s critical for the health of the economy. Though the firm is economically sensitive, I think that dire predictions for Canada’s economy are overblown beyond proportion. Robust commodity prices could help ease the pain of coming rate hikes. And once inflation is ready to turn a corner, the market’s next expansionary cycle could be fierce. Heck, the markets may look to price in the coming bull market once the worst of the recession is in the books!

TFI is a well-run company that will keep on trucking. 2023 will be a tough year for logistics firms, but don’t expect TFI to fold under pressure. The stock is already down 30% from its peak, and the valuation, I believe, seems to overblow the chance and severity of a coming economic downturn.

The stock trades at 10.2 times trailing earnings. That’s too cheap for a company that could get a bit of a jolt once global supply chains are brought back into order and consumers can finally meet their pent-up demand.

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...
