Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,

What would be your top three picks today in the health care equipment sector? US or Canada. Are they buys today and what would be a good entry point. Please provide a short description as to why they are top picks.

If SIS is not part of the list, can you provide your opinion on this company as an investment for 5 year hold.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello Team,

Do you know what has woken up BFLY? I know that it was mentioned in TIME magazine in September as part of its World's Top HealthTech Companies 2025 list. It was also blogged and ranked #1 by Zacks. The stock continues to grow (70% in a month). I wonder if this is only anoher hype and it will fizzle out sooner or later? Or is this growth for real, based on solid improvements?!

I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on this company and its fundamentals? Is it worth averaging up just to break even and get out? Or has the company finally turned a corner and better days are ahead?

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at 5i.

Q: I've held PFZ for a long time in my RRSP (now RRIF) and my US account. The 10-year return is low. Is there an ETF that could replace this security in my US account and RRIF?
I'd like to improve the return and understand if there are any negative tax impacts.
Thank you.

Q: Vhi has been very poor since it’s equity issue.Do you see any catalysts on the horizon?

Q: Hello 5i,
WELL seems to be breaking out. Up 47% since June 22/25.
You previously mentioned a price target of $5.25 by year end. Do you see further upside?
What do you think is causing this rise?
Thank you

Q: Hi can I get your thoughts on this company?

Q: Yesterday a FDA official gave very negative opinions and comments on Aurinia pharmaceuticals then removed them at end of trading day. Volume went up to almost 8million shares and stock was crushed. This stinks to high heaven. What do you folks think of this and will there be law suits maybe officials checking into short covering etc. Also how long will the cloud remain over this stock it was just taking off when all this happened.

Q: Hi there,

MDT seems to be moving up after a long time. Given their financials now and in the future, along with any other considerations, do you think the stock price will continue its rise? Is it undervalued at this point given forecasts for next 12-24 months?

Thanks.

Q: Cramer was on Mad Money talking about a speculative stock Aquestive Therapeutics. What do you think of the company? Do they have a lot of debt? When will Anaphylm get approval? Would you be a buyer? Thank you

Q: Good morning,

HHL is a core holding for me, and has been for some time, mainly for income (~10% yield).

I understand the pros/cons of covered call strategies. But given that this ETF is equally balanced with the largest 20 health care companies in the US, I am generally comfortable with it as a holding.

My question is this - what is your macro view of large-cap US health care stocks right now? On the one hand I get excited about the sector when factoring longer-term AI and how this will impact the space. And then I easily get caught up in the headlines that we are all seeing right now from the current administration, and the generally negative impact this is having on the individual stocks in HHL.

Curious for your views on the sector.

Thanks as always.

Q: Good morning team, I see PFE stock is up after their acquisition. Thoughts on the acquisition and is this long term underperformer maybe poised for a rebound. Also, nice yield, how safe is the dividend?
Thanks
Rob
