Investment Q&A

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

Q: Your last report on this company had FWD EV/EBITDA at about 13. What is that ratio now? I am concerned the stock has appreciated well past its fair value and is due for a sharp correction.

The 5 year chart shows an incredible change in trend starting in 2019. I have rarely seen this type of chart continue higher.

I am considering selling the position and buying back in $5 or $10 lower. Is this getting too cute or prudent profit taking.

Q: Utilities seem to go parabolic since December 2018 with no sign of slowing down. Since interest rates seem to remain low for a foreseeable future, is this a new secular trend emerging from improved interest in green energy. ZUT in particular includes many renewable power generator companies. So I basically have 2 questions: If this is a new secular trend should one increase their utility allocation ? 2: Is there still life for oil and gas companies ?

Q: I intend to diversify away a bit from the Brookfield family as I already have BEP.UN and BIP.UN.

Within my RRSP I intend to sell BYP.UN and am interested in buying AW.UN. It appears that A & W's debt is under control. Dividend growth appears to lack a bit of consistency though.

How good is their management?
Would you expect about 7 or 8% total return going forward?
Morningstar Fair Value is about $35. Would you agree?
Would a 5% position be too much for this type of stock if we were to go into a recession?
Do you have any concerns over the 20% drop from its highs?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
My BEP holding is up 70% and represents 5.2% of my portfolio. I see you are recommending trimming in your model portfolio. I was considering a trim sometime this year but I was thinking it would make sense to wait for the "free" new company shares that are being allocated later this year (1 for every 4 shares). Does this thinking make sense?
