Q: I know you have mentioned that you think BRP (DOO) is a good growth stock that you like. In looking at the results they just released today, I see an normalized earnings number for the quarter of $1.82, a 62.5% increase over last year. The guidance for 2021 shows an estimated normalized earnings of $7.62 (mid point of the range), which would be a 41% increase over the 2020 number. At roughly $102, the stock is trading at a p/e of only about 13.4 times this year's estimated earnings. That looks very cheap to me for a company with that high an earnings growth rate. Just wondering what your thoughts are on the quarter, and if you agree that the stock looks very cheap comparing the p/e to the growth rate. Trading at a similar p/e to GSY, with a comparable growth rate.

Q: Hi,
Seems like since they have decided to drop the acquisition of that UK company, DND is cash flush with the financing they did not to long ago at $50.50 per share. The stock has since been trading well below that level. I was surprised when they stated an increase to their credit facility to $700 million, today. The company now has Capital of a billion dollars. I cant see any other reason for a company to be sitting on a billion dollars via financings other than if they have some massive acquisitions in the pipeline. May i get your take ? Thanks,

Q: As the price of REAL drops would you consider this factor putting the company in play for a takeover? I am thinking of starting to buy into a position now that it is low fourteens and would like to hear your thoughts. This is a profitable debt free company which nobody seems to like and is priced like it has low growth future. Generally I do not bottom feed but I am intrigued.

Q: One has to wonder if the proposed sale of some stores by Couche-Tard isn't setting them up financially to purchase the convenience stores from Suncor. This has been noted here before.

I hold both so am watching closely.

Q: In the Ottawa area I am hearing radio commercial from Square promoting their services to local stores. The services Square is selling seem similar to what Shopify’s has to offer. Is Square now offering the same services that Shopify offers. Thanks … Cal
