Q: Please rank in order for growth, long term hold? A risk rating for each. 10 being the riskiest. Thank you

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: In January you noted:

We are mixed here. We don't like the leverage and the sector may still be weak under Trump policies (solar).

What's changed since then that made you come around to it and add it to your growth portfolio in July?

Q: Markets dont seem to like the news out today, thoughts?

Q: Galaxy glxy/t getting hit 8+% on the $1.5B finance announce for the Helio project....does everything seem in-line with the financing, in your opinion, and longer term...how much will the project be beneficial to Galaxy, in their relationship/partnership with Coreweave. and finally....is the C$35 level a good price (longer term) to add to a position....thx as always for great Service, jb

Q: hello 5i,
please comment on earnings. to my untrained eye, it looks like sales grew by 70% but net income fell (slightly). How would you assess these results?
TIA!

Q: Are you surprised of the performance of the stock since announcing they were no longer pursuing the takeover of Seven & I? There was a sharp uptick in the stock on the first day, but since drafted back to the $70 range again. Is this a continued buying opportunity?

Q: A 2 part question - 1) How frothy do you find the market and would you take a bit off the table?

2) If you did take sell some stocks, what’s your favourite Money market fund/ETF, in terms of high yield and low risk/safety?

Thanks,

Cam

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

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarter?Thx

Q: TMX Group has been consistently producing great results, for several quarters, coupled with dividend increases. But, its share price does not seem to be able to rise past $57-$58 level, even with most analysts revising their estimates and price targets, higher.

Is this price action consistent with its historical pattern, or we are missing something ?

Do you continue to like to own the stock for Income and Growth, over next several years ?

Thank You

Q: Hi Team,

Thoughts on GFLS quarter and which company do you think will have greater earnings growth over the next 10 years?

Thanks,

Q: P&C insurance sector has shown signs of weakness, over past several weeks, perhaps due to higher catastrophic losses and pressure on auto premiums. Intact Financial stock has also not been immune and has seen its stock decline over 10% from its recent high of $317. Latest earnings release disclosed weakness in commercial lines, in addition to premiums rates in US.

IFC has been a long time favorite of 5i and stock has performed well, barring the recent softness.

Question is that after 2-3 years of strong performance by P&C sector, do you believe the present weakness to be simply transitionary or it is indicative of a reversal/change of direction in the industry fortunes. And if it is even partly true or possible, how is IFC positioned to protect its business model and revenue/profitability for shareholders ?

The follow up question is that considering these factors, does IFC continue to still present itself as compelling opportunity for a long term investor, as a core position in the portfolio, ignoring everything else as noise ?

Thank You

Q: Hi 5i, thoughts on their quarterly earnings release and fwd guidance, and is it still a fav? Thx.
