BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L.P. (BIP.UN.TO)

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.UN.TO) is gaining attention as a potential option for advisors seeking dividend-paying, lower-volatility equities in today’s uncertain market. The utilities sector has recently moved up 12 spots in the last quarter to the favored zone at the 7th position in the SIA Sector Report, suggesting possible rotation toward more defensive, income-oriented areas. In this context, Brookfield Infrastructure has shown improving relative strength, a recent technical breakout, and offers a 4.73% dividend yield. It may be a name to watch for risk-conscious income-focused portfolios.

SUN LIFE FINANCIAL INC. (SLF.TO)

Markets do not move on one headline or tweet but on the collective weight of all available information being processed in real time. The recent surge in the VIX and breakout from a bullish triangle pattern suggests a shift in sentiment that could mark an inflection point. As the British Army famously teaches, ‘proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance’ and having a tactical plan now is what separates professionals from passengers.

ARCELORMITTAL SA ADR (MT)

ArcelorMittal (MT) shares have surged nearly 70% year to date, climbing the SIA relative strength rankings and breaking out of a decade-long technical base. Momentum indicators like ADX show increasing trend strength as shares push through key resistance levels. As seed capital for Form Energy since mid-2021, MT is committed to ESG goals by investing in iron-air battery technology still in the conceptual phase that could power its steel mills in the future, similar to Xcel Energy’s partnership with Form Energy highlighted last week as a leading “gro-tility” in long-duration energy storage. This commitment is reflected in the hands-on leadership of Lakshmi Mittal, who regularly visits the mills on Sundays, engaging with workers and experiencing the sights and sounds of the plants firsthand, demonstrating a level of involvement uncommon among billionaires.

CATERPILLAR INC. (CAT)

In today’s Daily Stock Report, we are going to highlight Caterpillar Inc. (CAT). The relative strength position chart for CAT in the SIA S&P 500 Index indicates a build of strength. The shares recently entered the favored zone on July 15 at $404.64 while yesterday’s closing price of the shares was $471.26 representing a 16.5% increase since SIA’s favored rating exemplifying the power of the SIA Algorithm.

DYE & DURHAM LTD. (DND.TO)

In today’s edition of the Daily Stock Report we are going to highlight Dye & Durham Ltd (DND.TO), a Canadian Small Cap Computer Software name which has been in the news of late. Dye & Durham entered the unfavored zone in the SIA S&P/TSX Small Cap Index report earlier this year on January 7, 2025, at a price of $17.31. As of Friday’s close, the shares are at $8.90 which represents an almost 50% drop in price. This reinforces SIA’s methodology to not pursue a “contrarian” mindset as names in the unfavored zone are not exhibiting any relative strength as the sellers are in control and not many market participants are looking at the name.

TESLA INC. (TSLA)

Tesla shares are gaining momentum as Elon Musk positions the company’s Optimus humanoid robot as a potential future centerpiece, possibly surpassing the EV business in value. Technically, TSLA has re-entered the favored zone of the SIA S&P 100 Index Report and currently holds the 24th spot in relative strength after a strong recent move. A breakout from a Point and Figure triangle pattern adds further confirmation, with resistance levels now targeted at $423.16 and $486.08.

CELESTICA INC. (CLS.TO)

Celestica Inc. (CLS.TO) entered the favored zone in the SIA S&P/TSX Composite Index on May 14, 2025, at a price of $158.62 and has remained in the favored zone ever since. As of yesterday’s close, the shares are at $338.16 which represents a more than doubling in price in just 4 month’s time. By translating global money flows into opportunities identified within the green favored zone, the SIA Algorithm empowers advisors to stay aligned with market momentum.

Balancing Alertness and Composure: A Point & Figure Perspective on Market Volatility

This report examines the recent rebound in equity volatility within the broader context of declining summer trends. While the VIX rose 10% amid a European bond selloff, long-term volatility measures remain notably subdued. A point and figure view of the VIX shows current movement still contained within a downward-sloping flag, suggesting that market stress, while notable, remains bounded. The analysis highlights the importance of balancing alertness to emerging shifts with composure amid ongoing macro uncertainty.

DOORDASH INC. (DASH)

Food delivery service DoorDash (DASH) entered the green favored zone of the SIA Russell 1000 Index on August 5, 2024, at a price of $121.30 and has remained in the favored zone ever since. Today, the shares are at $244.10 which represents a doubling in price in a little over a year’s time. This exemplifies the power of the SIA Algorithm for always looking for names in the green favored zone as this is where the money flows are positioning towards. Currently DoorDash sits in the 73rd spot out of 1008 in the Russell 1000 Index report.

THE KRAFT HEINZ COMPANY (KHC)

The food and beverage industry faces challenges from shifting consumer preferences, rising costs, and stronger private-label competition. These pressures have slowed growth and tempered investor expectations. Reflecting this, Kraft Heinz has significantly underperformed the broader market. Over the past three years, Kraft Heinz’s stock declined by 4.77%, while the S&P 500 Index rose 12.29%. Over five years, Kraft Heinz was essentially flat, up just 0.06%, compared to a 14.16% gain for the index.
