Lightspeed is integrating Google tools on its platform to help retailers increase local shopping revenue.

Cargojet is a time-sensitive overnight air cargo services provider that has a monopoly in Canada and is poised to continue benefiting from the e-commerce trend. Additionally, its commitment to on-time reliable and safe delivery and aim to exceed customer expectations make it the go-to name for overnight air cargo services.
Earlier this month, the company reported its first-quarter results that ended March 31. Revenue climbed 30% to $160.3 million from $123.0 million a year ago. Its gross margins increased to 28% from 26%. And its adjusted free cash flow climbed 18% to $64.2 million from $44.6 million.
“With a fundamental shift in consumer shopping habits in several key categories, Cargojet has spent the last few quarters laying the foundation to capture the next phase of e-commerce growth. We strengthened our balance sheet, invested in fleet expansion, broadened our portfolio of services and are investing in attracting and retaining top talent,” said Dr. Ajay Virmani, president & CEO.
After a meaningful correction of as much as 36%, the TSX growth stock has been grinding steadily higher. Currently, at about $185 per share at writing, it trades at a compelling valuation with no downside risk. Specifically, the most bearish analyst thinks CJT stock is undervalued by 16%.
Cargojet stock’s 0.56% yield is a bonus and actually quite attractive compared to some “high”-interest savings accounts, given that it also provides strong price-appreciation potential.
According to the analyst consensus price target, the growth stock is attractive with a 28% margin of safety and 40% upside potential over the next 12 months! Cargojet’s international expansion plans could set the growth stock soaring!
