Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: You have mentioned several times that it is expected that later this year the big banks will be given a free hand in allowing dividend increases, is there any analyst guidance/guesses out there on what sort of increase is 'expected' from the banks over the next 1-2 years (and may be baked in to the share price at the moment). Or is it expected to be more a case of just going back to a more normal cycle of increases rather than catching up.

Q: Good morning. Watching Saputo ease after recent annual reporting. Encouraging that there didn't appear to be much news slippage prior to the release.

Interested to know what the current forward p/e estimates are for some of the consumer defensive names including SAP, L, WN, PBH, HLF and MFI.

Also could you please rank in terms of estimated dividend growth going forward - best to least.

Thanks so much!

Q: Have had BEP.UN for a couple of years and did sell off some for a profit however I am now down 23% on 400 shares and wondering your thoughts on if I should close my eyes and sell or hang onto it. I am 71 and like growth stocks as I seem to make more money that way but without ridiculous risk. Can you suggest anything if I do sell.

Q: I am wondering if you have any idea what is going on with Keyera, it is up about 30% in the last 6 weeks or so, and does not seem to be stopping. Would the idea that IPL is in play maybe have someone looking at Keyera as the next possible take out. Would someone with very deep pockets be acquiring shares, possibly a Brookfield entity, thinking if they lose IPL to PPL, they would go after Keyera. I am not complaining, but I have just had to trim my position, and it has been top of mind for a week or so now.
Thanks

Q: Lots of questions on this topic! Senior, primarily dividend oriented but like some upside catalysts... Would it be an entry point for ppl given all the noise or wait till dust settles. I hold enb and divested most of my IPL as a precaution but looking to enter PPL or would it be wiser to wait and see where the dust settles. If PPL is not successful in the acquisition might they see a significant pull back ?
BTW not a BAM fan don't trust they would be good for IPL
Appreciate your commentaries

Q: I hold both Interpipeline and Pembina. If the PPL takeover of IPL goes through, I will have a bit more PPL than I am comfortable with, and would consider moving a portion to a company in a similar space. Assuming the deal happens, how would you rate the combined PPL/IPL compared to similar alternatives ENB, KEY, TRP. Could you give a rating for each of the 4 on a scale of 1 -10 for desirability as a long term hold in a balanced portfolio. Looking at total return over a 5 - 10 year period. Thanks.
