Q: I have a difficult time differentiating what each of these companies do for lawyers and lenders. How much actual overlap/competition is there?
I see there has been a fair bit of public market selling by REAL directors but then some buying late last week. How large is REAL insiders holdings commitment today compared to the last 5I report?
If there is any overlap/competition of services or perhaps synergies would it make sense for DND to acquire REAL if they could swallow it? Is DND, at 2X REAL’s market cap, large enough to acquire REAL?

Thank You
Clarence

Q: Are you in general agreement with today's conclusion from TD Equity Research on Q4 results? For those willing to "hang in", it appears there is descent upside from here:
2021 midpoint revenue guidance implies more than25% revenue per-share growth and continues to imply a constructive outlook forXebec across its various end-markets (hydrogen, RNG, and other gasses). However,we believe that Xebec is firmly in "show-me" territory with investors and, based on thefactors described above, we are increasing our risk rating to SPECULATIVE (fromHigh previously), consistent with other companies in the Cleantech sector that are notexpected to generate meaningfully positive cash flow in the near term. This changein risk profile requires a rating change to SPECULATIVE BUY (from Buy previously).Based on our revised estimates, and an increase in the discount rate we employ, ourtarget price decreases to $7.50 (from $10.00 previously).
The report also mentioned XBC is abandoning it custom made RNG equipment products and will sell only standard equipment going forward.

Q: Where would you put the odds of TFI doing an equity financing prior to closing the UPS deal? Is it possible they might finance the purchase with debt alone? With the deal expected to close in the second quarter, when would you expect any financing to be announced? For an investor looking to add to their TFI holding, would you recommend waiting to take advantage of the drop in the stock price that an equity deal would likely cause?

Q: I know you have mentioned that you think BRP (DOO) is a good growth stock that you like. In looking at the results they just released today, I see an normalized earnings number for the quarter of $1.82, a 62.5% increase over last year. The guidance for 2021 shows an estimated normalized earnings of $7.62 (mid point of the range), which would be a 41% increase over the 2020 number. At roughly $102, the stock is trading at a p/e of only about 13.4 times this year's estimated earnings. That looks very cheap to me for a company with that high an earnings growth rate. Just wondering what your thoughts are on the quarter, and if you agree that the stock looks very cheap comparing the p/e to the growth rate. Trading at a similar p/e to GSY, with a comparable growth rate.
