This Canadian Stock Could Be the Best Investment This Decade
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada When looking for the best Canadian stock to own this decade, the answer may not be a flashy newcomer or a trendy pick. It may just be one of the quietest, most consistent performers on the TSX. Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) isn't a household name for most Canadians, but it has built one of the strongest track records in Canadian market history. For long-term investors, this could be the stock to hold for the next 10 years and beyond. Constellation Software is a Toronto-based company that acquires and operates vertical market software businesses. That means it buys companies that serve specific industries, like software for libraries, police departments, or insurance brokers. These aren't high-growth social media apps or cloud platforms with huge hype. Instead, they're niche businesses that provide mission-critical services and generate reliable recurring revenue. And that's the secret to Constellation's success. The Canadian stock is now valued at around $104 billion and has grown consistently since going public in 2006. It operates through six major business units across North America, Europe, and Australia. Each division runs semi-independently, allowing local managers to focus on their customers while benefiting from the strength of the overall company. That decentralized model has allowed Constellation to scale without losing its grip on performance. In its most recent earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, Constellation reported revenue of US$2.7 billion, up 13% from the same period last year. Net income came in at US$115 million, up nearly 10%. Over the last 12 months, the company has generated $14.9 billion in revenue and $1.1 billion in net income. Those numbers are impressive for any company, let alone one that rarely makes headlines. The software firm is also incredibly efficient. Its return on equity is 26%, and its return on assets is 7.5%. Constellation is a cash machine, bringing in over $3.1 billion in free cash flow over the last year. It uses that cash to make more acquisitions, often small ones that fly under the radar but add meaningful long-term value. Unlike some Canadian stocks that make one big splashy deal, Constellation has made hundreds of small ones over the years. That strategy has worked exceptionally well. Yes, the Canadian stock trades at a high valuation. CSU's trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is around 97, and its forward P/E sits near 41. But this has never been a cheap stock, and it likely never will be. That's because investors are willing to pay up for the consistency, profitability, and long-term strategy. The Canadian stock has very little customer churn, very little debt pressure, and a clear path for continued growth. And in a world where many tech companies are still chasing profits, Constellation has delivered year after year. Analyst sentiment remains strong. Most experts have a buy or hold rating on the stock, with an average target price above $5,200. That's modest upside from current levels, but the real appeal here is the compound growth over time. It's not going to double overnight, but that's not the point. This is a long-term compounder, not a short-term trade. As Canadians tighten budgets due to rising mortgage costs and market uncertainty, it's more important than ever to focus on high-quality, dependable investments. In that kind of environment, owning a steady compounder like Constellation makes a lot of sense. Constellation Software may not get the same buzz as other tech names, but its results speak for themselves. It grows steadily, manages capital wisely, and serves industries that don't disappear in downturns. For anyone looking to invest in a Canadian stock that could define their portfolio over the next decade, CSU might be the one to watch. It's quietly magnificent, and exactly the kind of Canadian stock built to last. The post This Canadian Stock Could Be the Best Investment This Decade appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.

Dividend Investors: Why I'd Buy Telus Stock Over BCE Any Day
Written by Joey Frenette at The Motley Fool Canada The Canadian telecom scene has been through a hurricane of volatility in recent years, to say the least. With telecom titan BCE (TSX:BCE) slashing its dividend payout, passive income investors may be wondering if the worst is over yet. And while BCE stock has struggled to gain traction, I think that its new payout is more than sustainable. As I noted in a prior piece covering BCE and its big dividend reduction, I think there could be a long-term pathway to recovery and, with that, above-average dividend growth prospects. In any case, I have no idea if BCE's pains will be subsiding anytime soon. There are a lot of issues to address before shareholders can feel comfortable again. And while buying the dip may seem wise, I think that there's a better way to play the telecom scene while getting a much heftier dividend yield for doing so. While I'm not against picking up a few shares of BCE at around $30-32 while the dividend is just shy of the 6% mark, I just find Telus (TSX:T) and its massive 7.6% yield to be a better bet. Not only will you get more income, but the stock chart isn't nearly as horrifying. Of course, it's too early to tell if a bottom is already in the name. Either way, Telus stock seems somewhat less difficult to own than the likes of its now smaller rival. In any case, Telus stock has a long way to go if it's to see its prior highs of around $35 per share again. Industry headwinds have been tough, but recent quarters give investors something to be hopeful for, even if industry headwinds prevail for another few years. At the time of writing, T stock goes for 27.9 times trailing price to earnings (P/E), which is still not cheap for a name that's lost more than 35% of its value from peak levels. Still, the growing, swollen dividend yield is so tempting. And if you can get behind the company's turnaround story, I find the name to be a top pick in the ultra-high-yield space today. The company recently proposed to buy back Telus Digital after spinning off the business around four years prior. Indeed, perhaps there's a bit of value to be unlocked as the firm looks to turn around the IT service provider that hasn't really had the best time on its own following the 2021 spin-off. Deal or not, I'm a big fan of Telus's balance sheet and the growth options it can provide the firm as it tries to sustain a comeback. Additionally, Telus seems open to using generative artificial intelligence to save money in various areas, such as customer service. Any added margin gains are sure to be welcomed by investors as the company continues to slog through a difficult environment. In any case, I'm a fan of management and think the firm has what it takes to invest in long-term growth while keeping its fat dividend intact. For that reason, I like T stock more than most other dividend payers, yielding over 7%. The post Dividend Investors: Why I'd Buy Telus Stock Over BCE Any Day appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.
