Danaher Corp. stock falls Tuesday, underperforms marketIn the bustling world of the stock market, it’s easy for smaller names to be overshadowed by giants. Yet ( ) and ( ) are quietly building strong cases for themselves as underrated Canadian stocks with the potential for significant rallies. These two Canadian stocks operate in vastly different industries. Yet they share the common traits of innovation, strategic growth, and value for investors seeking promising opportunities. The companies OpenText, a global leader in information management, is proving that it’s more than just a tech company. It’s an essential partner for businesses navigating the complexities of data, cybersecurity, and (AI). In its most recent quarter, OpenText reported revenues of $1.5 billion, marking a 16% year-over-year increase. This impressive growth stems from strong demand for its AI-integrated information management solutions. Profitability has also improved, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) climbing 27% to $464 million and an EBITDA margin of 32%. These numbers reflect a company that’s not only growing but also becoming more efficient in its operations. Meanwhile, WELL Health Technologies is shaking up the healthcare industry with its digital-first approach. In the second quarter of 2024, WELL achieved record revenues of $243.1 million, a staggering 42% increase year-over-year. This growth was driven by strategic acquisitions and organic expansion. This contributed an impressive 21% of the total. WELL’s commitment to omni-channel patient services of combining in-person and digital healthcare position it as a key player in the rapidly evolving healthcare space. Future outlook Looking to the future, OpenText is making strategic moves to ensure sustained growth, particularly in the cloud and AI sectors. The Canadian stock has set an ambitious target of 2–5% cloud revenue growth this fiscal year, with aspirations of reaching 7–9% in subsequent years. A major part of this growth strategy is its Aviator platform. This leverages AI to streamline and enhance information management. Aviator is already gaining traction with enterprise clients, showcasing OpenText’s ability to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology into its existing product lines. WELL Health, on the other hand, is actively expanding its footprint in the digital sector. The company has announced plans to acquire INLIV, a Calgary-based provider of premium primary care and executive health services. This acquisition aligns with WELL’s strategy to diversify its offerings and strengthen its geographic reach. With the healthcare industry increasingly shifting toward digital solutions, WELL is well-positioned to capture market share and deliver consistent growth. Still valuable From a valuation perspective, both stocks offer attractive entry points. OpenText trades at a forward price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.2, significantly lower than many of its tech peers – thus suggesting substantial upside potential as the company continues to optimize its operations and expand its cloud offerings. WELL Health, with a market cap of approximately $1.3 billion, is trading below its average 12-month price target of $7.25, signalling room for growth as its acquisitions and organic initiatives bear fruit. Industry trends also play a crucial role in the narratives of these two Canadian stocks. OpenText operates in the information management sector. This is experiencing increasing demand for solutions that can handle vast amounts of data securely and efficiently. The demand is only expected to grow as businesses prioritize digital transformation. Similarly, WELL Health is riding the wave of the digital healthcare revolution, with telehealth and omni-channel patient care becoming cornerstones of modern healthcare delivery. Bottom line For investors, OpenText and WELL Health represent two sides of the same coin: steady, strategic growth with an eye on the future. OpenText offers exposure to the tech sector with a focus on cloud and AI. This makes it an appealing option for those who missed the boat on high-flyers. Meanwhile, WELL provides a way to invest in the burgeoning digital healthcare industry – one that is poised for continued expansion as technology reshapes the way we approach health services. OpenText and WELL Health Technologies are two underrated Canadian stocks that deserve a closer look. The strong financial performances, forward-looking strategies, and alignment with industry trends make each compelling choices for investors seeking value and growth. Whether you’re drawn to tech or healthcare, these two companies offer a promising mix of stability and upside that’s hard to ignore.

‘Oh, Canada’ review: Richard Gere shows the price of a lifetime of deception

Thomson Reuters Corp. stock rises Tuesday, outperforms marketDENVER (AP) — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's “America’s Got Talent” meets “American Idol,” with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it’s never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at “Dream Team” status given the men’s side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023 . The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. “We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport,” said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. “We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world.” Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores . “Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That’s something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok , the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado’s two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. “If a receiver is running around, I’m thinking, ‘OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,’” Daniels explained. “They’re like, ‘No, you can’t.’ I’m just like, ‘So I’m supposed to let this guy just run?!’ I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn.” The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. “I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. “I’m not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, ‘I played NFL football for five years. I’m popular. I have a huge name.’ I’m still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise.” Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It’s his way of working on avoiding a “defender” trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. “You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the ‘Redeem Team’ led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, ‘That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. “Everybody thinks, ‘Yeah, the U.S. just wins,’” Daniels said. “But we work hard all the time. We don’t just walk in. We don’t just get off the bus thinking, ‘We’re going to beat people.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

We don’t just get off the bus thinking, ‘We’re going to beat people.’” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFLWhen making adjustments to how we perceive players in fantasy, it's important to consider how a player is utilized within their offense. Opportunity is what drives fantasy production after all. Talent can only carry a player so far. No matter how gifted we believe a player is, if they're playing a secondary role in the offense, they will have a hard time producing fantasy points. It sounds simple, but the players who are on the field and see more touches are set up best to contribute to your fantasy team. Monitoring usage trends will keep you informed on which players are (or will be) in the best position to accumulate fantasy points. For most NFL fans and fantasy players, reviewing the data on player usage is far too difficult and time-consuming. But there's no need to look any further. We've got you covered with the Sporting News Usage Report, where we'll take you through some of the most significant trends regarding player usage and discuss how it will impact players' fantasy values. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers Fantasy Football Week 12 Usage Report: Biggest running back utilization trends Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers Carolina Panthers: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Snap Share Rush Attempt Share Route Participation Target Share Goal Line Rush Share 3rd Down Snap Share 2 Minute Drill Snap Share Chuba Hubbard CAR 88% 76% 63% 11% 100% 85% 100% Jonathon Brooks CAR 9% 10% 5% 0% 0% 0% 0% The long-awaited debut of rookie running back Jonathon Brooks finally took place in Week 12. Those who have stashed Brooks in their IR slot since August were treated to a measly 9-percent snap share in his first NFL game. Considering this was his first time on an NFL field and he's returning from major knee surgery, it's not entirely shocking to see him heavily limited. Over the last month, people have been concerned about the fantasy value of Chuba Hubbard when Brooks returned to the lineup. For the most part, those concerns seem to have been overblown. Considering the caution we've seen the Panthers express regarding Brooks' recovery, it wouldn't be surprising to see this stay at a 70-30 split down the stretch. If that is indeed the case, Hubbard will likely be a fantasy starter for the rest of the year. Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Snap Share Rush Attempt Share Route Participation Target Share Goal Line Rush Share 3rd Down Snap Share 2 Minute Drill Snap Share Bucky Irving TB 55% 38% 56% 20% 0% 9% 22% Rachaad White TB 47% 38% 31% 3% 33% 73% 78% The Tampa Bay backfield has largely been a 50-50 split throughout the year. However, this week was significant because it marked the first time that Bucky Irving out-snapped Rachaad White in a game when they were both on the field. What's even more encouraging for Irving managers is that he ran more routes than White. Passing downs had typically been White's domain, but the coaching staff is showing more faith in Irving as a receiver. Now, this usage did come in a game with a wonky game script; the Buccaneers were up by 23 points at halftime. So this is something that should be monitored in future weeks when the Buccaneers are in closer games. Either way, this is incredibly bullish for Irving's value in the final few weeks of the fantasy season. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL WAIVER WIRE ADVICE Full Waiver Wire List | FAAB Recommendations | Top Waiver Pickups Tyrone Tracy, New York Giants New York Giants: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Snap Share Rush Attempt Share Route Participation Target Share Goal Line Rush Share 3rd Down Snap Share 2 Minute Drill Snap Share Tyrone Tracy NYG 41% 45% 18% 13% 50% 36% 38% Devin Singletary NYG 36% 10% 30% 6% 50% 55% 25% When Devin Singletary suffered a groin injury ahead of Week 5, Tyrone Tracy was handed the keys to the Giants' backfield. Between Weeks 5-11 Tracy had played 70 percent of snaps and handled 73 percent of the backfield opportunities. This week, we saw this backfield operate as a full-blown committee. Tracy was still the clear 1A from a volume perspective, but Singletary ate into his workload to a much larger degree than we've seen in the last seven weeks. Considering the Giants were the Buccaneers' opponent, this usage could have also been driven by the lopsided score. But if these splits keep up, it will be time to adjust our perception of Tracy from a bell cow back to the leader of a committee. If the committee approach continues in the coming weeks, it will be tough to trust Tracy in lineups considering the overall quality of the New York offense. Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots New England Patriots: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Snap Share Rush Attempt Share Route Participation Target Share Goal Line Rush Share 3rd Down Snap Share 2 Minute Drill Snap Share Rhamondre Stevenson NE 40% 38% 30% 5% 0% 43% 0% Antonio Gibson NE 46% 29% 33% 5% 0% 43% 20% Much like Tyrone Tracy, Rhamondre Stevenson had been a back who had consistently been playing 70 percent of snaps in recent weeks. The script flipped in Week 12 with Antonio Gibson clearing a 40-percent snap share for the first time this season in a game in which Stevenson was healthy. These weren't meaningless pass protection snaps either, Gibson pushed for a 30 percent rush share and route share in this one. Once again, this was a game that involved anything but a neutral game script; the Patriots were down 24-0 at halftime. However, Stevenson has been a pass catcher throughout his career, and he's largely been immune to being phased out of the game plan by an ugly score. This could truly be Jerod Mayo looking to make a change after Stevenson has failed to clear 4.0 YPC in six straight games. Those with Stevenson on rosters should temper expectations for now. Fantasy Football Week 12 Usage Report: Biggest wide receiver and tight end utilization trends Nico Collins, Houston Texans Houston Texans: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Position Route Participation Target Share Targets per Route Run aDOT Air Yards Share Endzone Targets Wide Rate Slot Rate Inline Rate Nico Collins HST WR 83% 27% 0.27 12.8 41% 1 73% 27% 0% Tank Dell HST WR 80% 15% 0.16 20.8 37% 0 72% 28% 0% John Metchie HST WR 70% 9% 0.11 8.3 9% 0 32% 68% 0% Dalton Schultz HST TE 65% 6% 0.08 9 7% 0 4% 15% 73% After a 1-week ramp-up period, Nico Collins is officially back in business. He led the team in routes and was back to seeing elite usage. Collins' 27 percent target rate and 40 percent air yards share are in line with what we've seen from him throughout the year. With Stefon Diggs out of the picture, there's even room for Collins to grow from a volume perspective. At this point, there is a legitimate case to be made as to whether Collins is the overall WR1 for the rest of the year. It would be hard to knock Ja'Marr Chase from that throne, but there is certainly a strong argument. Either way, Collins is back to his usual self, and he will be among the most valuable fantasy assets throughout the rest of the regular season and playoffs. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL ROSTER MANAGEMENT ADVICE Stock Watch | Sleepers | Busts | Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Position Route Participation Target Share Targets per Route Run aDOT Air Yards Share Endzone Targets Wide Rate Slot Rate Inline Rate Mike Evans TB WR 56% 20% 0.33 11.2 33% 0 72% 28% 0% Jalen McMillan TB WR 56% 7% 0.11 13 13% 0 89% 11% 0% Sterling Shepard TB WR 63% 23% 0.35 3.1 11% 1 35% 65% 0% Cade Otton TB TE 63% 10% 0.15 9 13% 0 5% 35% 60% Mike Evans returned to action in Week 12 after missing a handful of games with a hamstring issue. After some conflicting reports about whether Evans would be limited in his first game back, he ultimately ran a route on just 56 percent of dropbacks. When Evans was on the field, he was drawing targets at an elite rate. His 33 percent target rate was his best single-game mark of the entire season. Considering there is a severe lack of wide receiver talent in Tampa Bay outside of Evans, he should be peppered with targets for the rest of the year. Now that Evans has a full game under his belt, he should be back in a full-time role very soon. As long as Baker Mayfield continues to play at a high level, he should be able to support elite fantasy production from Evans. DeAndre Hopkins, Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Position Route Participation Target Share Targets per Route Run aDOT Air Yards Share Endzone Targets Wide Rate Slot Rate Inline Rate DeAndre Hopkins KC WR 45% 16% 0.29 9.5 24% 2 86% 14% 0% Xavier Worthy KC WR 68% 16% 0.19 10.5 26% 0 78% 22% 0% JuJu Smith-Schuster KC WR 49% 5% 0.09 2.5 2% 0 39% 61% 0% Justin Watson KC WR 55% 5% 0.08 10 8% 0 73% 27% 0% Travis Kelce KC TE 81% 22% 0.21 6.6 22% 0 26% 40% 34% Noah Gray KC TE 49% 11% 0.17 12 20% 1 4% 35% 57% The Chiefs' wide receiver room is once again operating in a very ugly rotation, just like we dealt with last season. Last year, the rotation came at the expense of Rashee Rice. In 2024, it's DeAndre Hopkins who has been affected. In four games with the Chiefs, Hopkins has not cracked a 70 percent route share, and it fell to 45 percent in Week 12 after it peaked at 65 percent the week prior. Everything about the Chiefs' WR room has been devastating for Hopkins' fantasy value. Four receivers continue to see meaningful playing time, and Hopkins is somehow at the back of the pack. Hopkins is seeing the ball thrown his way when he's out there, but he's simply not running enough routes for him to be a consistent fantasy option. Unless it's a premium matchup where the Chiefs can push for 30 points and Hopkins can score, he belongs on benches in fantasy. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Week 12 Utilization Name Team Position Route Participation Target Share Targets per Route Run aDOT Air Yards Share Endzone Targets Wide Rate Slot Rate Inline Rate DK Metcalf SEA WR 84% 16% 0.16 18.8 65% 0 87% 13% 0% Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA WR 78% 23% 0.24 1.7 8% 1 14% 86% 0% Tyler Lockett SEA WR 76% 10% 0.11 9.3 19% 1 54% 46% 0% AJ Barner SEA TE 65% 13% 0.17 1.8 5% 0 25% 42% 33% The rise of Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued in Week 12. He's solidified himself as a go-to option in Seattle, and he's arguably the favorite to lead the team in targets each week. This was his fifth straight game with at least a 20-percent target share and marked the fourth straight game that he's led the team in targets. The other notable aspect of Smith-Njigba's role is his depth of target. He drew seven targets last week and they somehow came out to an aDOT of just 1.7 yards. Despite the incredibly shallow aDOT, he racked up 65 yards after the catch and found the endzone to propel him to a WR13 finish. It's clear that Smith-Njigba will hold a primarily underneath role, a role that is not typically conducive to elite fantasy production. Smith-Njigba can still be a weekly starter, but pump the breaks on viewing him as a locked-in top-20 option for the rest of the year.
