Investment Q&A

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

Q: Please comment on earnings. Stock seems to have lost some pizzazz. Is it time to take the money and run?

I would like to see a weekly earnings calendar. The TMX site used to provide this service but no longer does. I would at least like to see projected reporting dates in company profiles.

Thanks for your consideration.

Q: Do you consider that today's news of a joint agreement with Astra Seneca is significant enough to open a full position in Fusion? My read is that the agreement confirms that AZ believes FUSION has the goods so to speak, and is relieving them of a huge part of the costs of development in exchange for a piece of the action. I like the deal but would like your opinion before I jump.

Q: HI 5i Team,
In my USD account I hold REGN and ABBV @ 3.5%. I am considering adding ALXN growth. What is your opinion of this stock? If not this then any alternative? Dividends are not a priority.
Over the last 3 year of my membership, have immensely benefitted from your advice. Keep up the good work.

Q: I would like to own WELL. My hesitation is what you identify under Key Risks in your report - "inability to compete with larger players such as Telus and Loblaw in the digital health care solutions space ".
I own both Telus and Loblaw and recognize that their exposure to digital health space is a small part of their over-all business at this point while WELL is the pure play growth option.
Having difficulty assessing this and would appreciate your thoughts.
Not asking for specific portfolio advice , but just in broad , general terms -
if one owns these two larger companies , would it be appropriate to put Well in the "like to own " rather than "need to own " category and allocate capital elsewhere .
Thank-you

Q: Hi,
is the current debt level for ABBV to risky in the current economic environment or is the projected cash flow enough to reduce this risk? Might this cause dividend increases in the future not to happen?
In some of your answers to questions from members regarding health care stocks in the US, you often mention the election as a possible concern. Could you expand on this please? I assume you mean that one party is better than the other for this sector.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: Hello Peter,
I would like your assessment of DXCM after the earnings call. The growth rate has not tapered, the valuation on P/E and P/B looks to be in line with growth companies such as CRWD, VEEV etc. The product has now access to the european market, which probably was not part of the equation earlier quarter. Apart from the impending retirement of a senior executive, what would cause the sharp drop relative to the market?
Would this be a candidate for capital loss sale and buy in Dec or Jan?
Look forward to your thoughts.
Regards
Rajiv
