Investment Q&A

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

Q: Why would SIS have released a "pre" quarterly report when their actual results are scheduled to be issued in a couple of weeks? If memory serves, I think they did this last quarter as well but they are one of the few, if only, companies that seem to do this. Should anything be read into this early disclosure, despite the fact it is good news?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: You recently mentioned that "the spin out of Topicus is a dividend-in-kind. Shareholders will receive 1.85 shares of Topicus for each share of CSU held. The price of CSU will drop a bit on the ex dividend date to reflect the value of the new shares to be received." From a tax perspective, what does this mean? Is the entire BV of the Topicus shares that are spun out treated as a dividend and benefit from the cnd dividend tax credit and the BV of the CSU shares drops by the same amount?
