Investment Q&A

Q: Can you comment on KEG's and weather is still a HOLD for income

Q: Calfrac Well Services crossed my screen. Can you give me an in depth analysis in this stock, insider buying, financial ratios, management , and industry. Will it ever catch up to Precision Drilling’s success? what do you like or dislike about it ? Buy , sell or hold?

Q: Hi with interest rates beginning to edge lower what would be the sectors most likely to benefit? Could you give me a couple of your favourite picks for each of those sectors. Would you be edging in, fully buying in, or hold off for a possible October correction? With the likely chaotic return of Trump to the Presidency would the Renewable stocks such as BEPC be at risk of correcting under this scenario? He does not like windmills much... Thank you for your service and deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: Hi Peter, in one of your answers you say that CSU is not cheap at 39x earnings and you would be comfortable owning it. Does that mean you would still buy it at today's price or would you wait for a chance to buy it at a cheaper price and do you think there is a possibility for a pull back. Thanks

Q: The long term chart of this one shows the current price back to where it was in 2002. Is that correct?

Thx

Q: I’m reviewing your report on GLXY and am somewhat confused with the ownership structure.
I am trying to understand this relationship and have a few questions.

GLXY only significant asset is 33.7% ownership in GDH.LP.

Am I correct that an investment in GLXY is an indirect but full investment in GDH.LP?

If GLXY only asset is the investment in GDH.LP why would GLXY have 440 employees worldwide?

Who are the other significant owners of GDH.LP?

Does GDH.LP trade on a market or is it private?

Based on your recommendation I did take a position on GLXY and I have done very well with it. And thank you in this regard.

I am now deciding if I should trim or hold and understanding this company structure will help me in my decision.

Thanks John

Q: Hi 5i Team - This question has likely been asked before. Is it possible or probable that CSU would do a stock split. It is now over $4000 per share which makes it difficult for some smaller portfolios to take a partial position or increase/decrease partial positions. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am curious about your thoughts on Premium brand holdings (PBH). I entered a position around $86 and the stock has gone down in the past 2 years from a high of $110. I was wondering if you are still confident in the company? The BE portfolio entered at ~$56.

I think this is a slow growth company organically, do you stay with a holding as long as it is well above the entry point or is there a point were you may say that a company has run out of room and is time to exit?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: For a long term hold 10-15 years in a registered account with DRIP on which of these do you see returning better? I already own some BN in an unregistered account but I am not afraid of being concentrated. Thanks

Q: Is CTS still a favourite 5i small cap pick?

Q: Going into earnings do you think that Hammond Power solutions is a safe hold.
I recently hold a 5% position at 103.00.
Thanks

Q: Peter & 5iTeam,
Would you start a new position in EQB or add to IFC for a long term hold?

Gary

Q: Paul asked today if PRL's dividend has been increasing in proportion to its income increases, or are they increasing the payout ratio. In your answer, you mentioned the dividend is up by 30% compared to last year at this time, but you didn't compare this to the income increase. PRL had an 84% income increase in 2023 compared to 2022, and in Q1 of 2024, the income was up 77%, so in fact they have been DECREASING the payout ratio, as the income has been increasing at a much faster rate than the dividend.

Q: What are your current thoughts on AOT?

Q: Given that Propel has been increasing its dividend at a rapid clip the past few quarters, are they increasing their dividend in proportion to increasing profits per share OR are they simply increasing the dividend payout ratio?

Q: Any thoughts on OTCM (OTC Markets Group)? Trading around its 52-week low but it has been a solid compounder over the years. Is this a buying opportunity for long-term hold?

Q: What are your current favourite growth stocks in gold industry? Looking at something of quality that may have upside potential to complement larger cap AEM holding.
