This Stock Is a Glaring Opportunity

Whenever you look at a list of the top Canadian Dividend Aristocrats or today’s popular growth stocks, there is a good chance that those companies are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. These companies all pay fees to be listed on the exchange. Did you know, you can buy shares of the company that operates the TSX? In this article, I will be discussing why TMX Group (TSX:X) could be an interesting investment.

What does TMX Group do?

TMX Group owns and operates the exchanges that are used to trade securities and derivatives in Canada. Its subsidiaries, the Toronto Stock Exchange and Toronto Venture Exchange, feature many of the companies that Canadians invest in. The company also operates two smaller exchanges, the Montreal Exchange and Boston Options Exchange, which primarily handle derivatives and options.

TMX Group’s business model features four high margin branches. Capital formation (49% operating margin), Equities and fixed income trading (53%), derivatives trading (53%), and global insights, solutions, and analytics (66%).

In the first half of 2020, the company’s total revenue was $438.0 million. As of June 2020, there are 3,266 securities issuers listed on one of the company’s exchanges. This includes 130 new listings on either the TSX or TSXV in the first half of 2020. The securities listed under the TMX Group umbrella total a $3.0 trillion market cap.

How has its performance been?

TMX Group has shown an increase of 122% in its revenue from 2016 (fiscal year) to 2020 (last twelve months). Currently, 52% of the company’s revenue is recurring and 33% comes from outside Canada.

This strong growth and stability in its revenue has been well-received by investors, as TMX Group stock has seen a 24% appreciation in its share price year-to-date. Over the past five years, the company’s stock has gained 188.25%.

TMX Group is not currently listed as a Canadian Dividend Aristocrat; however, it is on the verge of making the list. The company has raised its annual dividend for the fifth straight year, which suggests that the company will be added to the prestigious list next year. TMX Group has a forward dividend yield of 2.05% and a reasonable payout ratio of 59.91%.

Where can we expect growth in the future?

Most growth from TMX Group is expected to come organically. As more securities list on its exchanges, the company will continue to accrue an increasing amount of recurring revenue. The company’s global insights, solutions, and analytics business continues to grow as well.

In 2018, this segment made up 35% of the company’s annual revenue. So far in 2020, this segment has accounted for 37%. While the growth is not astronomical, it should be noted.

It’s also notable that TMX Group does make acquisitions when it finds a company that would benefit its operations. In 2017, the company made a big move by acquiring Trayport. This is the primary network and data platform used by European wholesale energy markets. So, while acquisitions may come less frequently, the company’s management does look for these opportunities.

Foolish takeaway

This is likely one of the less exciting growth stocks I have featured on The Motley Fool so far. However, the opportunity in TMX Group is quite compelling. As more companies turn to its exchanges, the company will keep growing.

If you are looking for a lower-risk growth company to add to your portfolio, I would suggest taking a good look at TMX Group.

  • Bitcoin Return to $40,000 in Doubt as Flows to Key Fund Slow

    (Bloomberg) -- Cryptocurrency enthusiasts counting on Bitcoin to bounce back above the $40,000 level face a challenge due to faltering demand for the biggest fund tracking the digital asset, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.The pace of flows into the $20 billion Grayscale Bitcoin Trust “appears to have peaked” based on four-week rolling averages, JPMorgan strategists led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in a note Friday. The fund slid 22% over the past two weeks through Jan. 22, outpacing a 17% drop in Bitcoin in the same period.Read: Biggest Crypto Fund’s 40% Premium Evaporates During Meltdown“At the moment, the institutional flow impulse behind the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is not strong enough for Bitcoin to break out above $40,000,” the strategists said. They added that the “risk is that momentum traders will continue to unwind Bitcoin futures positions.”Bitcoin’s red-hot rally lost momentum after the largest cryptocurrency reached a peak of almost $42,000 on Jan. 8. Proponents argue institutional interest has helped bolster Bitcoin’s use as a hedge against dollar weakness and inflation, while skeptics maintain the latest surge is yet another speculative bubble, akin to the 2017 mania that preceded a rapid collapse.In recent days, prices have been volatile in the mid-$30,000s and the digital coin is still sitting on a gain of almost 270% over the past year. On Monday, Bitcoin advanced about 4% to $33,078 as of 10:35 a.m. in London. “The near-term balance of risks is still skewed to the downside,” the JPMorgan strategists said.In a separate analysis, Adam James with OKEx Insights found at least some long-term Bitcoin holders -- so-called “whales” -- and miners likely sold to institutional investors during the 2020 rally, as the average age of coins traded rose starting in October and has remained elevated since.“Old-school Bitcoiners sold some of their old bags to new institutional buyers with extremely large new bags to fill,” James wrote.

  • Outlook on the Aircraft Valve Global Market (2020 to 2027) - by Product Type, Valve Type, Aircraft Type, and End-user

    Dublin, Jan. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Aircraft Valve Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Product Type, Valve Type, Aircraft Type, and End User" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. According to this report the market was valued at US$ 4192.4 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 6084.9 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2020 to 2027. The report highlights key factors driving the market growth, and prominent players with their developments in the market.The general aviation sector in the world is growing exponentially since the last few years due to the constant increase in volumes of orders and deliveries. Rising demand for general aviation aircraft is majorly attributed to rise in the purchase of business and corporate jets in developed, as well as a few developing, countries. The presence of multiple general aviation aircraft manufacturers globally is showcasing the year-on-year growth in orders and deliveries. Presently, various general aviation aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are stressing on increasing the flight range and durability of the aircraft models to make flying the aircraft over a longer distance easy for operators. Increase in flying range has fueled intercontinental flying operations in the general aviation aircraft industry. This factor has boosted the procurement of aircraft valves among general aviation aircraft manufacturers and operators, thereby catalyzing the aircraft valve market growth.The aircraft valve market is segmented on the basis of product type, valve type, aircraft type, end user, and geography. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into fuel system valves, hydraulic system valves, air conditioning system valves, lubrication systems valves, and others. The lubrication system valves segment is projected register the fastest CAGR in the overall aircraft valve market during the forecast period. On the basis of valve type, the market is segmented into pilot valves, poppet valves, flapper-nozzle valves, and others. The poppet valves segment contributed the largest revenue share to the market in 2019. The aircraft valve market, by aircraft type, is segmented into fixed-wing and rotary-wing. The fixed-wing segment accounted for a larger market share in 2019. On basis of end user, the market is segmented into OEM and MRO. The OEM segment held the largest market share in 2019. On the basis of geography, the aircraft valve market is broadly segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). In 2019, North America held the largest share of the market, followed by Europe and APAC, respectively. The market in Europe is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2020-2027.Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Aircraft Valve MarketThe COVID-19 pandemic has been creating challenges for medical institutions, healthcare institutes, manufacturing units, commercial office premises, shopping complexes, and airports worldwide. As North America, Europe and APAC consist of higher density of aircraft and component manufacturers, the outbreak has severely affected the production of each. The lower number of manufacturing staff and temporary suspension of production facilities have resulted in lesser production quantity. Boeing, the aviation giant in the North American region, has witnessed a significant fall in orders and production, which is one of the key factors restraining the aircraft valve market. Apart from Boeing, other aircraft OEMs such as Bombardier, Textron, and Gulfstream also experienced the similar adverse effect of the pandemic. The restricted workforce, disruption in the supply chain, and limited volumes of orders have sternly limited the aircraft valve market players' growth in 2020.Reasons to Buy: Save and reduce time carrying out entry-level research by identifying the growth, size, leading players and segments in the global aircraft valve marketHighlights key business priorities in order to assist companies to realign their business strategiesThe key findings and recommendations highlight crucial progressive industry trends in the global aircraft seals market, thereby allowing players across the value chain to develop effective long-term strategiesDevelop/modify business expansion plans by using substantial growth offering developed and emerging marketsScrutinize in-depth global market trends and outlook coupled with the factors driving the market, as well as those hindering itEnhance the decision-making process by understanding the strategies that underpin commercial interest with respect to client products, segmentation, pricing and distribution Key Topics Covered: 1.

  • Lutter contre la fracture numérique : un projet sociétal riche de sens

    L’usage de la technologie est désormais un prérequis incontournable dans notre vie personnelle et professionnelle. Dans ce contexte, pour lutter contre « l’illectronisme », au même titre que lire, écrire et compter sont des fondamentaux, se servir d’un ordinateur, d’une tablette et d’un smartphone est désormais un kit nécessaire pour tout un chacun. La fracture numérique est aujourd’hui encore loin d’être un simple concept et touche plusieurs dizaines de milliers de foyers, parmi lesquels les plus défavorisés sont majoritaires. L’IT, un vecteur d’intégration ou d’exclusion Le sujet du numérique est un enjeu sociétal fort. Déjà la fracture numérique crée de véritable fossés dans la population à de nombreux niveaux : réaliser des démarches administratives et accéder aux services public, rechercher un emploi, accéder à l’information… De plus, avec le confinement, les inégalités se sont creusées dès le plus jeune âge avec l’enseignement à distance par exemple. Quand on sait que les jeunes seront les actifs de demain, il est impensable de ne pas leur donner les moyens de s’insérer et de maitriser l’usage du numérique. La maîtrise de l’informatique n’est plus une affaire de Geek, mais un véritable mode de communication universel. Alors comment faire ? Accompagner la transmission du savoir et promouvoir le numérique Promouvoir la « Technoculture » n’est donc plus une option, mais un must have. Si l’école est un moyen de diffuser des connaissances, elle n’est pour autant pas suffisante pour les jeunes qui feront l’IT de demain. Dans ce contexte, il appartient aux acteurs du numérique de jouer un rôle actif sur ce sujet. Bien placés et légitimes pour se positionner sur ces thématiques, ils peuvent s’impliquer dans un engagement bénévole riche de sens pour l’entreprise (au-delà de ses activités traditionnelles qui consistent à vendre des logiciels et du service digital). Les professionnels de la filière devraient également largement investir pour créer des ressources annexes (événements, ressources de sensibilisation, etc.). Que ce soit auprès d’associations existantes ou au travers d’une démarche autonome, chaque professionnel a le pouvoir de développer la culture du numérique auprès de populations fragiles et détachées de l’outil digital. Cette prise de conscience semble aujourd’hui faire écho dans la profession et l’on ne peut que s’en féliciter. Pour autant, il reste encore énormément de chemin à parcourir pour que la fracture numérique ne soit plus une réalité. Il faut donc poursuivre les efforts entrepris et lancer un véritable grenelle du numérique où les valeurs de transmission, de sensibilisation et d’accompagnement seront au centre des projets proposés en matière de lutte contre la fracture numérique.
