Q: Hi,
Could you please recommend 10 (5 US / 5 CAN) high-quality defensive companies with strong balance sheets, low debt levels, and robust cash flows that YOU believe they can weather economic stress, inflation, or stagflation and they relatively hold up their stock prices during such times? If their current stock prices are overvalued, please suggest your recommended entry prices.

Also please recommend ETFs that mainly invest in companies with the above criteria?

Thank you

Q: Hi guys I hold all 3 of these stocks, and have for quite a while - RCH, ADEN, and RUS. I am looking 5 years out and thinking I might sell the RCH and ADEN holdings and buy more of RUS. This would still leave my RUS holdings at below 4%. Your thoughts which one of these companies do you think would be teh best bet 5 years out?

Much thanks
Stuart

Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm confused about PRL's dividend sustainability due to negative free cash flow (−$57M in 2024 and −$3.7M in Q2 2025) and high leverage (112% D/E). Your March 2024 report assigned a B+ rating and positive outlook might be because of strong revenue growth (38.68%) and high ROI (30.33%), but didn’t address these cash flow issues. What am I missing? Is there something in their business model or cash flow timing that supports dividend sustainability?

Best,
Matt

Q: So, with the blockbuster results and a strong guidance this morning, SHOP stock is flirting with the $222 high recorded on Nov 19, 2021, during the day's trading.
Amazing !!!

What would you do with the stock, if you own a decent position ( 6-7% : similar to 5i portfolios, after today's 20% jump) from a Technical, Fundamental and Portfolio management perspective ?

Thank You

Q: Crypto is up and the market is strong yet this one has performed poorly since they executed that big bitcoin sale. Am I being impatient or is there a reason to sell and move onto something that is performing better right now? I realize that the stock is up huge on the year - unfortunately I bought after the gain and am now a bag holder (down 13%). Thanks,

Jason
