TFSA Investors: What To Buy For A Legitimate Shot At $1 Million By 2035


financial freedom sign

Investing in quality growth stocks is a popular strategy on Bay Street, as it allows you to generate exponential gains. Moreover, the massive drawdown in the valuations of growth stocks now allows shareholders to go bottom fishing and buy the dip.

Canadians can consider building a portfolio of growth stocks and holding them in a TFSA, or Tax-Free Savings Account. Any returns generated in the TFSA in the form of capital gains are exempt from the Canada Revenue Agency.

The maximum cumulative contribution room in the TFSA has grown to $88,000 in 2023. So, let’s see how you can use this contribution room to own growth stocks and build your TFSA portfolio to $1 million by 2035.

Shopify stock

One of the fastest-growing stocks on the TSX, Shopify (TSX:SHOP) was also the largest Canadian stock in terms of market cap back in November 2021. However, a challenging macro-environment meant Shopify’s top-line growth decelerated rapidly in 2022, driving share prices lower by 80% from all-time highs.

Shopify recently increased prices for its monthly and annual subscription plans, which should improve profit margins. However, it might also lead to lower engagement rates from existing customers.

In order to take advantage of the growing e-commerce market, Shopify is building out a network of fulfillment centres to optimize the supply chain of its merchant base. Even if Shopify stock regains its all-time high, it will gain over 250% from current levels.

Snowflake stock

A company that’s part of Berkshire Hathaway’s equity portfolio, Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is an enterprise-facing SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) company. In the fourth quarter (Q4) of fiscal 2023 (ended in January), Snowflake increased sales by 53% year over year to US$589 million, which was US$14 million higher than estimates. Its adjusted net income rose 35% year over year to US$0.14 per share.

In fiscal 2023, Snowflake increased sales by 69% to US$2.07 billion, which is quite exceptional given the current environment. In fiscal 2022, its revenue was up 106% year over year.

Snowflake expects to grow sales by 40%, while analysts expect profit margins to more than double to US$0.61 per share in the next 12 months.

Constellation Software stock

Among the most popular tech stocks on the TSX, Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) has returned over 2,000% to investors in dividend-adjusted gains since March 2013. Constellation Software has increased its sales on the back of highly accretive acquisitions. It acquires companies that report consistent profits and offer mission-critical services to enterprises, which ensures high switching costs and robust customer retention rates.

Analysts tracking Constellation Software stock expect its sales to touch $10.44 billion in 2023, up from $6.8 billion in 2021. Its adjusted net income is forecast to rise from $59.06 per share to $78.5 per share in this period. So, CSU stock is priced at four times forward sales and 29 times forward earnings, which is reasonable given growth forecasts.

It’s also trading at a discount of more than 10%, given price target estimates.

Datadog stock

The final growth stock on my list is Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG), a cloud-based software company that provides enterprises with solutions to track and observe devices, servers, networks, and applications.

In the last 12 months, Datadog has reported sales of US$1.67 billion, compared to US$363 million in 2019. This stellar revenue growth has allowed the company to report a free cash flow margin of 21%.

Datadog ended 2022 with 23,200 customers and a net-dollar revenue retention rate of 130%. It shows existing customers increased spending on the Datadog platform by 30% in the last four quarters.

With a total addressable market of US$62 billion, Datadog has enough room to grow its sales in the upcoming decade, making DDOG stock a top bet right now.

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?

Image
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...
