Q: A year ago BNS was $88.xx a share, it is now $68. CWB was $36.xx a share and is now $26.xx. Banks seem to be failing as far as investments. One gets 4.5 to 6% dividends but loses 20-30% on valuation in a year. Can we hope for a brighter future in 2023, or are there better choices for stocks the financial sector
Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on the fundamentals of Questor including cash reserves, level of debt, earnings etc. With this in mind, is it strong enough to weather a continued market slump in growth stocks. Does it have the potential for growth. Also can you provide your opinion on management, its background experience and its holdings of common shares. Has there been any significant insider trading lately. If I decide to finally move on from this stock do you have any suggestions for a replacement growth stock, not necessarily in the same sector.
Q: we are looking at adding to our position in Well. We purchased at a higher price but it seems to be doing things right. We are looking at 5 years. What are your thoughts.
Thoughts on TSU’s earnings here? Do you believe in the adjust earnings after ANOTHER surprise one time loss. It’s down over 20% ytd. Is this a table pounding buy?
If a similar question which I missed has already been asked, please ignore this question and point me in the right direction.
The big 5 are reporting over the next few business days. Can you please share with us what we might expect? Good news bad news? Also, please rate each of the 5 in order and whether you think each of the names are a sell, hold or buy at this time and the reasoning for your logic.
Q: Hello 5i team,
Your thoughts on Fiera capital's earnings. The drop of 15.8% in assets under management does not look good. Every metric seems to have dropped across the board.
How confident are you in this stock to pay out its dividend?
Q: Hello, I have too many financial stocks and I would like to sell one of the above but I'm not sure which one to let go of. I was thinking of letting X go or one of the Brookfield stocks. Your thoughts please, I feel I can get enough diversification with only four stocks in this sector. Thank you in advance.
Q: Why is GIL going up in price? Don't get me wrong, I was a bit concerned at a sell - off so I'm happy. In looking at their latest quarterly release, things didn't look particularly rosy for the next several quarters. They did increase dividend, so I suppose this would have maintained a certain level of confidence, but am I missing something? Thank you.
In regard to Tricon I am thinking of adding to my position but am wondering what their exposure would be to variable rates. I do not want a interest rate surprise like AQN. What do you think of the likelihood of that happening at the upcoming earning release? Should I be worried about any other surprises with TCN? Are you still feeling positive on this stock?
