Editorial Team (ET)May 9, 2025

As 2024 nears its end, Jamie Murray, portfolio manager and head of research at Murray Wealth Group, identifies a shifting economic landscape ripe with opportunities. With inflation easing and interest rates stabilizing, North American equities are positioned for renewed growth. The broadening market reflects optimism driven by improving consumer confidence, advancing technology, and a more business-friendly environment.

Murray anticipates earnings acceleration through 2025, buoyed by recovering manufacturing and resilient sectors such as healthcare and green energy. He remains vigilant for undervalued companies with strong growth trajectories and warns against the disruptive potential of AI on traditional industries. Murray’s global perspective highlights promising European equities benefiting from improved geopolitical stability and high savings rates.

Let’s dive into Murray’s top picks: Adyen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Northland Power.

Adyen (ADYEY ADR): A Payment Powerhouse

Adyen, a global leader in payment processing, is revolutionizing how transactions are conducted worldwide. The company’s cutting-edge single software platform delivers higher authorization rates and reduced costs, making it a preferred choice for businesses seeking efficiency and scalability.

Adyen processed over €1 trillion in transactions last year, showcasing its massive market influence. The company anticipates revenue growth exceeding 20% annually through 2027, backed by robust cash flow margins and a strong customer base of fast-growing e-commerce retailers.

Adyen boasts a formidable €8.7 billion cash reserve—equivalent to 20% of its market value. Although it has yet to pay dividends, this growing cash pile could fuel shareholder returns in the near future. The company’s potential to achieve margins nearing 60% underscores its enduring growth prospects.

Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO NYSE): At the Forefront of Healthcare Innovation

Thermo Fisher Scientific stands out as a diversified provider of tools and services essential for healthcare and life sciences industries. Despite flat earnings due to pandemic-induced inventory adjustments, the company is poised for resurgence.

After a three-year period of destocking and subdued demand, the life sciences sector is rebounding. Improved inventory levels and renewed enthusiasm for medical research suggest that Thermo Fisher is at the cusp of a growth cycle.

Trading at just 22x P/E, Thermo Fisher offers a compelling investment opportunity. With expected annual EPS growth exceeding 10% through 2028, the company is well-positioned to benefit from increased spending on healthcare R&D.

Northland Power (NPI TSX): Renewables with Untapped Potential

Northland Power operates a diverse portfolio of renewable energy assets worldwide. While recent operational setbacks have weighed on its stock price, its long-term fundamentals remain solid.

From cost overruns on major projects to executive transitions, Northland Power has faced its share of challenges. However, its core operations remain stable, and ongoing development projects are set to deliver substantial economic returns.

The company’s three active projects could boost EBITDA by 50% by 2027. A strong CEO appointment could restore investor confidence, potentially driving shares from the current $20 range to the $30 mark.

Navigating the AI Revolution

Murray highlights the transformative impact of AI across industries, including automobiles, social media, and professional services. The rapid pace of innovation presents opportunities but also risks for businesses unprepared for disruption. Investors must evaluate companies’ adaptability to AI advancements to safeguard their portfolios.

European Opportunities

Looking beyond North America, Murray sees value in select European equities. High savings rates, declining geopolitical tensions, and attractive valuations make Europe an appealing investment destination. Companies in the region are well-positioned to capitalize on improving consumer and business confidence.

Conclusion: A Vision for 2025

Jamie Murray’s top picks—Adyen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Northland Power—underscore his confidence in sectors poised for growth. From technological innovation to renewable energy, these companies exemplify resilience and adaptability in a dynamic market. As the world transitions toward 2025, investors should heed Murray’s insights, leveraging his expertise to navigate the evolving economic landscape.
