Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: CSU market cap has grown from 55 Billion to 75 Billion over the past three months. Have the companies fundamentals improved enough to justify a 20 billion increase? This would imply transformational developments. This move seems excessive to me and I am trying to understand what is behind it.

Thanks.

Q: 5i has given our family some very good investment ideas. Among the good ones that have benefitted our accounts lately are LMN and HPS.A. Thank you for these. Using your crystal ball what would be your best suggestion for a couple of other similar stocks that might replicate these growth stories over the next year. Thank you.

Q: In your answers to various questions about CLS you are showing a P/E ratio of 11. My information on the Company shows current EPS of $2.24 and a P/E ratio of 23.64. Earnings are expected to increase gradually.
I wonder why such a discrepancy? What am I missing? Thank you for your answer.

Q: Hi, Any ideas, why ATS is stuck at $54-55 level , for a while, except brief interludes, and fails to get any traction on a consistent basis, even though most of Technology as well as Industrial sector ( small and mid cap ) is behaving very well ? What is market worried about and should we be concerned with its recent muted performance ? Thank You

Q: Hi Team,
Having not researched this name myself yet, what is the story behind HPS? It's an old company and looking at a 10yr chart had been flat for years between $5-$10 range. Now since 2021 it went parabolic to $84 today. What changed in its business to justify such a drastic gain? Perhaps I am a bit cynical or cautious; but I am a bit hesitant being told in the past not to invest in names that have gone parabolic so quickly? At least without a significant pullback. Thanks for your insight!

Q: hi, would you consider these more on the risky side, or just smaller cap? I read Hammond EPS around 15 which seems fine to me. I can't find an EPS on LMN?
is this a decent entry point for each? if not, what price would be a more reasonable entry point?
cheers, Chris

Q: Interested in Aritzia, can you provide a good thesis as to why this investment is worthy of a buy or hold? Capital IQ estimates revenue growth for 2024 to be only 4.6%, how come this is so low? Is the increase SG&A expenses a result of the recent inventory surplus and do you think it will resolve itself within the next couple of months? Lastly, how many shares were issued after initial IPO offering compared to now and with low ownership from management, why do you like the company?

-Thanks

Q: Hi, I own a bit of Lumine at a fantastic average cost. It obviously has had a run and is settling down in 2024. I have some extra cash now because of a fresh TFSA year. Would you be a buyer of LMN right now on the pullback? This would make my ACB jump quite a bit, so curious. Would you wait a bit to let is drop a few bucks more? Thanks for your great work.
