TSX Today: What to Watch for in Stocks on Monday, March 13 (The Motley Fool Canada)

New developments related to the Silicon Valley Bank may keep the TSX stocks, especially bank stocks, volatile.

Commodity prices across the board were trading on a bullish note early Monday morning, which could help mining and energy TSX to open higher today. On Sunday, the American financial regulators announced actions to protect Silicon Valley Bank’s depositors. In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2023 (ended in January), the Markham-headquartered enterprise software company’s total revenue declined 4.2% year over year to $106.4 million. Notably, its earnings were also lower than the Street analysts’ estimate of $0.37 per share. With this, the main TSX index ended the week with 3.9% losses, marking its worst weekly performance since September 2022. As uncertainties about the implication of this development unnerved global investors, the S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged by 312 points, or 1.6%, to 19,775 — closing below the 20,000 level for the first time since January 10.

3 TSX Stocks to Create a Perfect Investing Base (The Motley Fool Canada)

If you need TSX stocks to go back to again and again, these are three perfect options I would consider as a solid base for your portfolio.

Canadian Utilities stock is just outside of value range trading at 17.14 times earnings, offering a dividend yield at 5.04% as of writing. It powers our lives, and it therefore makes it easy for the company to continue bringing in revenue and expand through acquisitions. Canadian Utilities stock is currently the only stock on the TSX today that’s a Dividend King. Meanwhile, Royal Bank stock trades up 4.41% in the last year compared to other banks, though it’s still a deal trading at 13.04 times earnings. If you’ve already got an ETF or two, then a Big Six bank is a great option to consider. However, there is certainly something to say for having a few base TSX stocks to make up your portfolio — ones you can safely invest in as the years go on, leaving a smaller percentage for riskier investments.
