Canadian Natural Resources has delivered a very large 5 year gain while the latest valuation checks still point to the stock screening as undervalued, which raises the question of how much of that strength is already reflected in the current share price. Over the past 5 years, Canadian Natural Resources has returned about 308.4%, a very large move that puts the recent valuation signals under closer scrutiny for anyone considering fresh capital. Progress on the Pathways carbon capture project...

TC Energy stock has delivered strong returns over the last few years. Yet at around C$99.59, the valuation checks lean toward the shares looking expensive rather than like an obvious bargain. Over the last 3 years, TC Energy has returned 185.5%, which puts extra focus on whether the current price still leaves much room for further value to be created. Future valuation for TC Energy may depend heavily on how reliably it can convert its asset base into steady cash flows. At the same time, the...

See our latest analysis for Lightspeed Commerce. Despite the product news, Lightspeed Commerce’s recent 1-day share price return of 3.71% to CA$13.97 sits against a weaker backdrop, with the year-to-date share price return down 13.44%...

When high profile stocks like Tesla and SpaceX stumble together, as they have after weaker Q2 results and Starship setbacks, shock waves can ripple across the wider market. That kind of volatility often pushes attention back to value stocks, where lower P/E and P/B ratios leave a bit more room for error. This article looks at how that news might be affecting sentiment and where investors are looking for relatively steadier footing. You will see 3 stocks from our Value Stocks screener that...

NovaGold Resources has delivered a 45.9% gain over the past three years, yet its low value score and rich market multiples suggest the stock is not a clear bargain at its recent US$8.36 close. The 45.9% return over three years highlights that long term holders have already seen substantial upside, which can limit the margin of safety for new investors. The planned US$4.2b all share acquisition of the remaining 40% stake in the Donlin Gold project may support long term growth expectations...

Altius Minerals has delivered a very strong run over the past five years, yet its low value score and market multiple checks suggest the stock now leans expensive rather than clearly cheap. The stock has returned 266.5% over five years, which puts extra focus on whether the current price already reflects much of the good news. Recent moves to increase exposure to Great Bay Renewables and to fund growth through a C$181.5 million equity raise can support long term royalty cash flows. However,...
