Q: Greetings, I already own PBH, ATB and COST but would like to add a consumer non-cyc. In order, I would like to protect against loss of capital, receive a greater than 2% dividend, and enjoy some reasonable growth. Which of the two above would you choose for a long term hold? If you could choose a U.S. name, is there one you prefer over both? Thank-you!

Q: Hi, Any comments on recent price action .Why Sylogist continues to make new multi year lows, while Tech sector, in general has gained some traction, over past week or so. There was a mention here of stock's long term support at $6.50 - $6.75 level. Why would retail investors keep selling, despite its solid organic growth prospects/possible acquisitions and very low risk to dividend ? based on its history dividend yield is now flirting with 7.50 - 8% - Is there a concern of a dividend cut ? We beefed up our holding along with 5i recently and like the company. What is the next support level and is it worth buying more now? We have owned it for several years and stock has fallen below our ACB of $6.57 and weight has dropped from 5% to below 2.5%. Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i staff,
I am thinking about selling PLC for a tax loss and buying again in 30 days. I know the previous exdividend date was in June but I don't know how to find out when the next one is, as this might affect my decision. Do you see any catalysts that would affect this stock in the next thirty days, or do you think that it will not rise much in that time?
thanks for all your great advice

Q: Now that Savaria stock price has lowered substantially since the beginning of the year, I am considering it for my income portfolio with its 4% yield and some growth. Before I do, I have the following questions:
1. In your opinion, is Savaria a "Capital Intensive" company? -- Capital intensive companies don't perform well during inflation period.
2. What is the dividend payout ratio over cashflow?
3. How do you feel about the debt level compared to its free cash flow? and
4. In your opinion, to what extent will higher interest rates impair their acquisition strategy. If they can't aquire other companies, what is the risk the growth becomes anemic?

Thanks.

Q: Hi, These two companies, which are leaders in the packaging industry ,and enjoy a positive view with 5i, have seen their share prices perform quite differently. Over a 5 years period, RPI has outperformed CCL.b significantly, but during past 12 months and more recently, CCL stock has shown signs of steady comeback, while RPI price continues to languish at 50% below its peak of $85, reached in Oct, 2020. We are aware that two companies operate in different segments of packaging sector and while CCL has a larger geographical reach, RPI's operates in North America, primarily. We used to own CCL.b few years ago, but sold our position and replaced with RPI units, about 3-4 years ago. Could you make a comparison of the two companies, with respect to their size, leverage/debt, business/growth prospects, insider ownership, current valuation and risk to assess, how they compare/rank on these metrics and the reasoning. Also today if you own them, what will be the objective - Income or Growth or Both for each. Thank You

Q: I am participating in an investment challenge at work. We all pick a portfolio of 1 to 15 CAD or US stocks July 18, 2022 and revalue them October 31, 2023. Whichever portfolio grows the most in CAD wins a cash prize. Can you give me any suggestions of stocks poised to "light it up" over this time period. Note that there is no entry fee so I can invest in extremely risky volatile stocks.

Q: followup to my question from yesterday about dnd. you replied
The Link deal would be highly accretive to earnings, and set DND up for very strong market share and growth. That being said, with the long delays, regulatory issues, and the market, we do not think many investors really think this deal is going to close.
has this been your thinking when you have recently rated, on several occasions, dnd as one of your top growth picks? has your view changed with the apparent demise of the link deal?
