Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning 5i.

I would appreciate 5i's comments on Forward P/E ratios published in major reporting entities like Globe Investor.

Are these based on consensus analyst projections of forward earnings? Do the forward earnings forecasts exclude large non-recurring transactions (that could flip a 'real' 22 Forward P/E projection into a more attractive looking 11?

In summary, what advice would 5i have on the above, and how much should one take an "attractive looking" forward P/E into consideration when thinking about a stock?

Thank you.

Q: Groupe Dynamite released a very strong Q3 earnings report on Tuesday, with same store sales growth over 30%, earnings per share up 75% and declared a $2.30 special dividend. I have been building a position in this stock since September. What did you think of the earnings report and do you still think it has good upside potential over the next couple of years?
