DF (Canada) - Slow And Steady Wins The Race?

Feb 5

Given all the crazy volatility across metals, stocks, and crypto at the moment, I thought Id have a look for those quieter slow and steady stocks / etfs that are just ticking away and staying out of the drama.

Dividend 15 Split Corp II has quietly put together a very strong run, gaining over 54% in the last year. While the big tech names usually grab the headlines, this Canadian split share corporation has been trending steadily higher in a clear channel. It essentially acts as a leveraged bet on reliable dividend payers, and right now, in the current market, that momentum is hard to ignore.

Fundamentally, this strength is being driven by the performance of its underlying portfolio, which consists of 15 high-quality Canadian blue chips like banks, utilities, and telcos. As interest rate pressure eases, money has been rotating back into these yield-heavy sectors. Because of the split share structure, the Class A shares (DF) amplify the gains of those underlying stocks, which explains the aggressive move up compared to the broader Canadian TSX. The recent pause in price action looks like a healthy breather rather than a reversal.

Technically, the chart is well-behaved. The price has been respecting a rising channel for months, making higher highs and higher lows. The recent pullback successfully tested support near the moving average (the red line), and buyers stepped back in. The RSI is sitting at a comfortable 63, meaning there is still room to run before it gets technically overbought. It might be a little more expensive than it could be, but depends how long you want to hold it.

Might be worth a watch if you like yield with a side of momentum. ..................................................
PLEASE NOTE: Nothing I post is trading advice. All investing involves risk, and past performance doesn’t predict future results. Trends can and do end. For 2026, my goal is to try and post one new asset each day. Something outside the usual gold, silver, BTC, or big tech names. I like to find stocks worldwide showing steady trends with some good gains, a recent pullback, and signs of renewed strength. I don’t necessarily hold positions in these. They are simply companies I find interesting at the time of posting. I’ll often revisit them within a week to see how they went and share any updates.

Fell off a cliff to the bottom of the channel but has recovered well over the last two days which shows a lot of promise.

We made it back up to where the journey started. So a nice gain off that low for anyone who managed to take the trade with that big dip. I also like that it's now sitting on that 20 day SMA for support.

Pushed back up to its previous highs before pulling back to its 20 day ma. Be interesting to watch where it goes from here.
