Investment Q&A

Q: Telecomm seems to be performing well, relatively speaking. How would you rank these telecoms for growth, dividend safety and inflation-resistance, in general? Are there other telecoms you prefer? THANKS!

Q: Please recommend, especially during this uncertain economic times, two to three Consumer Staple stocks to hold, again for longer than 5 years. My aim is 5 % yield but I do understand that yields for good quality companies are usually low. I would be happy to invest in those with really strong growth down the road. This is what I have compiled with: NWC, PBH, ATD, EMP.a, L, MRU. By all means, please include ones that you feel would serve this purpose.
Thank you again for your insight. Roger

I am looking for your recommendations on good dividend paying stocks. Stocks which have come under pressure due to market conditions. Stocks that are low risk and do not have high debt. I am mostly interest in income stocks but would also like a stock that would give me some capital gains. I have listed these and would appreciate rating these. Please also provide me with any other tickers you feel would fit my needs here which I may not have thought about.

Thank you.

Q: Numerous US stocks are now showing low PE's and high yields; Citi for example.
What would be your top 3 yield focussed picks for the medium term (3-5 years)?
i.e. safe dividend going forward currently paying well above its normal yield ?

Q: Could I please have your views on the best mid to large cap buys out there tor a long term hold, with a focus on USA. What do you think has the most potential upside with the least downside? Though call I know. I was looking at Amazon, Shopify, lspd, upst, Etsy, salesforce and square as candidates. Thank you.

Q: Thoughts on MFC's results? I currently have a position and am considering picking up more for income. Long term investor.

Yay or nay?

Q: I would like to increase my holdings in telecom stocks. I currently have BCE and would like to know if you would recommend buying more BCE. Or buy one or two other telecom stocks, such as T, RCI.a, QBR.b, or etc? Again, primary aim is income and secondary is balance equity. I plan hold them for more than 5 years. Thanks, Roger

Q: what is your favorite pipeline today? cash account

thanks help

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can recommend some dividend paying companies with strong balance sheet, steady dividend increase and have not cut dividend in past. I am looking for names which have sold with general market and are at attractive valuations.
Thanks.

Q: What do you think of pza earnings. What do you think has more upside pza or eif.

Q: Hi Peter
LIF has fallen significantly from its peak. Is it a good buy at this level for income purposes ? Is it possible it may drop even further?

Q: Hi Could you please comment on AQN earnings release. Do you see stock being rerated in near future ? Thanks

Q: Sadly, APPS is down 65% since I purchased it and now is a mere pittance of my TFSA (.65% of my entire portfolio). Should I hang on and hope for better things? Or sell and use the proceeds to top up an existing holding? If the latter, would you top up NVDA or APPL?

I am also down 25% on LIF, which I purchased primarily for its generous dividend. Can you please explain why the dividend fell so steeply last quarter? And looking into that crystal ball you keep on your desk, what would anticipate will happen to both the stock price and the dividend going forward? Thank you.

Q: Please recommend two to three utility stocks to hold for over 5 years with around 5% yields, and having some long term growth and security. Please provide your perspectives on your selections. AQN, FTS, EMA, CPX, H, BEP.un, BLX, ACO.x, CU. Not sure if BIP.un should be included with this list. Thanks, Roger

Q: Good Morning,

Just curious to what Telus payout ratio is for the dividend. a friend of mine read an article where it said Telus is paying out way more than they are earning. Can you comment on the safety of the dividend? I know they just recently raised it.

Thanks
Jimmy

Q: Just read in the Globe and Mail that Jim Pattison bought an additional stake in WTE, costing him $9.4 million loonies. This caught my eye, aka attention...what does he see about the future of WTE? Me, wondering if it would be a good dividend investment going forward for the portfolio of income stocks. Keen to get 5iR's take.......Many thanks......Tom

Q: Greetings 5i team and thank you for answering the phone during these rocky times.
The 30 Apr 22 Model Inc Portfolio has LNF at a 'B' whereas the 3 Sep 21 Report on LNF is 'B+'. Plse confirm LNF is a 'B+'. Also, if you were to write a report on LNF today would you be likely to maintain the 'B+'?
Thanks again

Q: Hello Peter and team,
What do you think of Cohen and Steers and Icahn Enterprises. i am just concerned of the high yield . Is this sustainable? I am looking at these for my RRSP where the dividends don't have tax implications until i withdraw funds.

Q: Follow-up question: : "The company noted it has reached its 40% renewables target." Does this include it's 60% ownership in Transalta renewable or is it in addition to.
