Q: Can you explain how the preference shares affect earnings and debt levels going forward. Is the paying of interest on these a detriment compared to Constellation, which has no preference shares? Does is become a drag on the company’s finances in certain situations, or is it a neutral or beneficial effect? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I’ve half position in CAE and in MG. I’m thinking of starting a half position in TFII. All three stocks have gone up quite a bit in the past year with the EV fads and the post covid fads. Which of these three companies is the best buy at the current price for 2-3 years hold and your reasoning behind? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
You mentioned in a previous response that you would not expect BEP to have the same high returns as in previous years. Can you briefly elaborate more on this?

Since BEP is in a dip, I wanted to purchase the US equivalent shares. Are you still comfortable with this company (you give it an A rating)?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on Topicus earnings? Also, is it a buy here and now?
Lastly, assuming an exchange of 1.00 to 1:48, no prefs and the same results occur over 4 quarters, are the numbers below correct?

$179.6m euros rev x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 26.98 revenue per share
$90 Price per share / 26.98 rev per share = 3.34 price to sales

$20.7m euros earnings x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 3.11 earnings per share
$90 Price per share / 3.11 earnings per share = 28.9 p/e

$91.5m fcf x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 13.74 fcf per share
$90 Price per share / 13.74 fcf per share = 6.55 price to fcf
13.75 fcf per share/ 90 price per share = 15% fcf yield
