Investment Q&A

Q: It seems many analysts feel that Health care is a good place to be going into the next 1 to 2 years, do you agree?
Could you name your top 5 Health Care Names, Canada or US?

Thank You

Q: Based on your last comments on Pliant therapeutics(PLRX) from May 12, could you please update on those specific comments and on the recent news that made the stock double. Where do you see it going from here? This is what you wrote last time…

Asked by James on May 12, 2021
5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
PLRX has $277M in cash, but only expected revenue of $16M this year. Cash burn was $37M in 2020. 1Q loss of 64 cents per share was 6% worse than estimates; sales of $2.2M were 49% worse than expected. Insiders own 3.5% directly. We do not know management but see no concerns there. There is not much to go on here. As a clinical stage company, performance is going to depend on trial results. It has two main trials (early stage) that will be releasing results later this year. The pipeline is decent but again, early stage. It has been public less than a year, but shares have nearly doubled in that time. There is upside potential for sure, but the future may also be binary based on good/bad trial results.

Q: Hello:

Wondering if TXF is beaten down enough to provide a good entry point. Is there a better ETF for similar exposure in CAD?

What are 5i's thoughts on HHL for weathering the next year or two with possible recession and general market uncertainties? I expect healthcare may see less volatility but would like your perspective, please.

Thank you for your great service!

Q: hi folks:

can you provide an update/outlook on these 4 pot stocks?

soooooooooo, can you provide a quick review of these 4 as the ones i think are the potential eventual survivors?

and, should you feel strongly about any others pls note (or, no thanks anytime anywhere!!)

thanks in advance for your ongoing advice and insights

Q: Hi 5i

Thx

Q: Is it time to get rid of this stock?

Q: Dear 5i,
Do you like DHR and/or TMO for a long term buy and forget stock?
If yes, which would you prefer one or both?
Is there much overlap between these two stocks?

Q: This stock is at 52 week low. Is it time to add some to my position which is ar less than 1% or sell and move on? Hold is always an option.
Thanks

Q: I am considering investment in HHL primarily for the Dividend but it has also pulled back in this market, so potential growth as well. Is Healthcare and Dividend ETF's fairly safe in this current market? Is there another ETF with good income and some potential for growth. Thanks

Q: Endo is now thirty cents. Is the end near and what happens to Paladin Labs, which they own?
Thanks.

Q: G2S2 Capital just announced they now own over ten percent of Knight Therapeutics. Can you tell us anything about them other than the obvious that they have a lot of patience? Thanks.

Q: ISRG is now under $200/share. I thought I would add to it if it fell below $200, and now that it has I am not sure if I should average down. I am down 40% already.

Why should I NOT average down at this time?

What price would you consider adding to this stock?

In this market many growth stocks have fallen considerably. I know you don't like averaging down, but at some point you will have to unless you have owned growthy stocks for 3 to 5 years then you are still positive.

thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can provide your feedback about WELL Health Technologies. Pros, Cons, potential, Balance sheet & Cash etc. Do you find it attractive for Long term hold.

Q: Would GUD make an "interesting" investment in the current environment?

I've noticed that it held fairly well (pretty much flat) compared with its sector (down a lot), and also large amounts of share buybacks and insider buying signaling that management is confident in the company.

Thanks!
