Investment Q&A

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

Q: The information provided to Tom on September 23 made me wonder about this company, specifically that it’s operating earnings has not covered its dividend for the last 12 months.

I am not a fan of EBITDA which you consider to be a better indicator of the financial situation. Does not INTEREST affect cash flow and the ability to pay dividends ?

You indicate that cash flow varies widely with water levels and electrical generation. With climate change ( drought and floods ) being a significant factor to operating cash flow, should I not be concerned ?

BEP.UN is close to 10 % weighting across my different accounts.

Thanks. Derek

Q: My Suncor holdings have grown nicely since I bought during Covid and enjoyed the rise where we currently match the 2018 highs.

BUT: what would drive further growth for SU share price? I am not looking to hold for dividend only. To me there are headwinds of increased regulatory hurdles, inability to get access to new large pipelines and the socially dim view of anything "oil". Thoughts? Any better bets on energy?

Thanks! And may your day be bright!

Q: Hi 5i team,

My question is on CNQ. They have a dividend growth rate of something like 20% annually over the past 20 years, which is remarkable.

Realizing that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, how would you evaluate the company's dividend growth prospects for next 20?

If you were to assess it on a confidence scale of 1-10, based on what you know of the company, what would your assessment be?

Thanks!
Ryan

Q: I'm looking at PEY and FRU for dividend income, and possibly a little appreciation. Their recent price doesn't seem to be too effected by gas/oil prices going down -or are they perhaps offset by interest rates going down at the same time? Could you compare these; do you have a preference? How high a risk are they? What is a good entry point for both? Thanks!

Q: The performance of these two Oil & Gas stocks have been a disappointment of late and thus far this year...
What are your thoughts on these stocks and holding them for awhile longer until gas prices increase or biting the bullet and switching to ARC Resources and TOU?
Thank you.

Q: What do you think of FRU.ca vs NPI at these levels for a long term hold? Are there tax consequences for a royalty company I should be aware of?

I own CNQ, ENB, CPX, H and a little HSP already but I'm finding it hard to resist the dividends (and hopefully growth) of FRU and NPI. Should I add to one of the companies I already own or buy NPI or FRU as well?
