The Canadian market has shown impressive resilience with a 1.6% increase in the last week and a remarkable 25% climb over the past year, alongside projected annual earnings growth of 16%.

Top 10 Undiscovered Gems With Strong Fundamentals In Canada
Overview: Dundee Precious Metals Inc. is a gold mining company involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, mining, and processing of precious metals with a market capitalization of CA$2.53 billion.
Operations: Dundee Precious Metals generates revenue primarily from its Ada Tepe and Chelopech segments, contributing $237.16 million and $304.68 million, respectively.
Dundee Precious Metals stands out with its debt-free status, a significant improvement from five years ago when its debt to equity ratio was 6%. The company has demonstrated high-quality earnings, with a notable 33% growth in the past year, surpassing the industry average of 2.8%. Trading at 25% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation. Recent operational highlights include processing over 711 Kt of ore and producing substantial quantities of gold and copper. Additionally, DPM repurchased over three million shares for $26.4 million this year, indicating confidence in its own valuation amidst ongoing project advancements like Coka Rakita.
Overview: TerraVest Industries Inc. is a Canadian company that manufactures and sells goods and services to the energy, agriculture, mining, transportation, and other markets in Canada and the United States, with a market cap of CA$1.98 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from HVAC and Containment Equipment (CA$292.90 million), Compressed Gas Equipment (CA$243.77 million), Service (CA$201.78 million), and Processing Equipment (CA$117.58 million). The Corporate segment shows a slight negative contribution of CA$0.93 million to the overall revenue mix.
TerraVest Industries, a Canadian player in the energy services sector, has shown promising growth with earnings up 43.6% over the past year, outpacing its industry peers. The company reported a significant revenue increase to CAD 238 million in Q3 from CAD 150 million last year, boosting net income to CAD 11.92 million from CAD 7.97 million. Despite a high net debt to equity ratio at 42%, it has reduced significantly from five years ago when it was at 117.9%. Recently added to the S&P Global BMI Index and trading below its estimated fair value by about 21%, TerraVest seems poised for continued attention in the market.
Overview: Westshore Terminals Investment Corporation operates a coal storage and unloading/loading terminal at Roberts Bank, British Columbia, with a market capitalization of CA$1.49 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its transportation infrastructure segment, totaling CA$379.34 million.
Westshore Terminals, a notable player in the infrastructure sector, has shown impressive earnings growth of 36.4% over the past year, surpassing the industry's 10.9%. Trading at 8.2% below its estimated fair value, it offers potential for investors seeking undervalued opportunities. The company is debt-free and has consistently delivered high-quality earnings without concerns over interest payments or cash runway due to profitability. Recent activities include a share buyback of 675,009 shares for CAD 15.56 million and a dividend announcement of CAD 0.375 per share for Q3 2024, though it was recently removed from several S&P/TSX indices in September.
