Investment Q&A

Q: I know that 5i has huge respect for a company like CSU. What would be an equivalent stock in the US markets?

Q: CTS's deletion from the TSE index was announced last week. Do index funds hold a significant quantity of cts shares that they now have to sell? Would these funds already have sold in anticipation? Is deletion likely to affect cts share prices and, if so, for how long a period?

Q: Is there still room for stock price growth for ATD and where do you think it will be in 1 year?

Q: If one was willing to accept the smaller cap size risk and the much lower yield, could you endorse a switch from MG to DOO to stay (technically at least) in the same sector in the hopes of realizing a higher total return in the long run (5-10 years)? When I look at the history, Magna is about where it was 7 or 8 years ago, and DOO is up about 4 fold. I realize the past doesn’t predict the future, but still…..

Q: Hello,

Is it just me or is Trisura starting to have better price momentum? If the economy turns down in the second half, how much of an impact would it have on TSU’s incredible growth rate that they’ve had or are they largely immune?

Q: Hello,

Based on RBC estimates, Nuvei trades at 7% fcf yield f23 and 9.1% f24 and 15.5 pe.

That’s a PEG of .775 for a company growing at 20% into the future.

Understanding there is the worts of share dilution, how is this stock not one of the most attractive tech stocks on the open market?

Q: Your thoughts on their 1/4 please.

Thanks

Q: Gentlemen

BRP reported earning today, can I have your opinion on the report?

Q: “Has sold shares in company.
Company has too much retail orientation (very hard business).
Auto-body shops require large capital investments.
Strong franchise - but would wait for shares to fall before investing. “

This is what a recent guest on bnn said about Boyd recently. I have to say that I am quite surprised and pleased with the way Boyd has risen from the ashes in the past year. But, like the above mentioned guest, i wonder if it is in a bit of a hard business. It is difficult for me to really judge, though, so i thought that I would lean on your wonderful slogan that diy investing doesn’t mean you have to be on your own, and so i ask your opinion on this.
Thanks as always

Q: Between ATZ and WELL, which should I sell to raise cash, and please explain. Thanks again. al

Q: Can you comment on the ballooning Stock based Compensation given to the CEO
I assumed this compensation was in the form of options which could be said to incentivize management, but that is not the case. They are being compensated in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), meaning units that could be converted to stock at market value after a certain period, without management having achieved anything. This compensation is in addition to their equity, existing options, and salaries, all of which are substantial. The board essentially gave them free money, no strings attached. I don't know how this could be seen to benefit shareholders. If you know, please tell me

Q: If you didn't own any banks but are realizing they are getting to attractive price points that have div yields only seen one other time in the last 25 years (covid), and you were considering TD or RY. TD looks attractive because of its bigger pullback due to US M&A mishaps, while RY has not pulled back nearly as much and has been stable. TD having the bigger div but RY outperforming TD by a pretty big margin over every time frame. Which would you chose today, TD for valuation or RY for long term outperformance? This is for a long term hold. Thx

Q: Hi 5i,
I don't know much about these names but am thinking about investing in one or both, so a few questions to get me started and please deduct as you see fit.
You were asked this morning if SHOP's entry into the POS arena would affect LSPD, and I have the same question, but with respect to NVEI - will SHOP be competing with NVEI in that area?
I think tech may be getting ready for a turn around. Do you think that conclusion is justified by the facts on the ground so far as they are known and, if so, are either or both of SHOP and NVEI likely to benefit given their current prices or, put another way, are they at good entry points?
Does it make sense to own both, or better to take the $$ that would be split between them and go all in on one? If so, which one?
Thanks.
Peter

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: What are your thoughts on GDI? I know you still hold it in your growth portfolio but the stock has pretty much traded in a flat range for the last 2.5 years. Up 32% but only around a 1% position. I'm patient but thinking of selling and adding to other names with more growth potential, names like LMN, KXS, ATZ, CROX, WELL, NVEI, TOI, SHOP, etc.... What are the catalysts to move this stock and what do you still like/dislike about the fundamentals? Thanks!

Q: Now that SHOP has announced plans to enter the point of sale hardware business, is it lights out for LSPD?

Q: Which stocks are cheap and buyable Can be trade or long term hold.

Q: TIXT stock has been in a steady decline in recent quarters. Does this reflect a decline in their business fundamentals (slower growth) and prospects going forward?
