Q: Could please give me your expert opinion on their latest acquisition. The market liked it and the stock has finally broken out technically.
Fundamentally, the company is also very cheap.
Would you recommend a position in a TFSA.
Thanks for your service and all your excellent insights!!

5i Research Answer:
HLF hit a multi-year high as the Mrs. Pauls and Van de Kamp acquisition looks solid. It continues HLF's plan to diversify its global supply chain, and it already co-manufactures for the brands. There will be a small 1c negative impact to earnings initially, but the strategic rationale makes sense for the long term. HLF is buying $75M in sales on a base of about $950 currently. The stock is up 18% YTD yet is still only 8X earnings. Debt continues to be high, however. We like the deal and the momentum. We would be OK buying this in a TFSA but for more aggressive investors only.
