Investment Q&A

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

Q: Inter Pipeline has a current dividend of 8.9 %. According to TD Waterhouse today, the the 2020 estimated payout ratios are 81 % of AFFO and 197 % of EPS. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is 6.3 %. These numbers are high compared to other similar companies. Would it make sense to sell this stock and purchase ENB or PPL instead ? Thanks, Joe

Q: I'm looking for some help in understanding the Sandbox transaction Alaris Royalty just reported.

Given that they didn't receive full value on the preferreds, doesn't that mean the common for Sandbox was worthless? Do you have any information on the other details of the transaction.

I've scanned the last three quarterly reports, I see quite a few top up investments, both additional Preferreds and debt. I didn't see any red flags in comments until Q3 where the investment was written down by $4 million and the rating was lowered. Certainly nothing indicated the common equity of Sandbox was worthless. It looks to me like they were blindsided.

What am I missing? Should I be concerned about a possible re-evaluation and writedowns of Alaris Royalty's other investments?

Thanks as always.
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,

In following up on Willies question on 5G rollout for these three, could you add some risks for those still using Huawei equipment? I believe BCE is using Nokia, T is using Huawei and RCI I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Q: Alaris announced today the sale of Sandbox Acquisitions and Sandbox Advertising to a third party buyer at a material reduction to their initial offer. Why did the purchaser materially reduce their initial offer and why would Alaris have accepted it? Is this a good move overall by Alaris to have disposed of these companies?Thanks Gordon
