Investment Q&A

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

Q: This company has been on a fairly continual slide for a year now. I am just about break-even in a TFSA, I have had a bad habit in the past of being impatient and because room in the TFSA is limited I have sometimes sold things for the next shiny object and regretted the decision years later as the original holding finally takes off.

Analysts following the stock seem to still expect significant upside, what do you see in terms of potential and also risks?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I know you like GOOG, and am wondering if the following story is further reason to buy some/more, and perhaps a reason to lighten up on MSFT?

Q: I went back to Constellation Software’s old reports to compare results to Topicus’ current results. Constellation had similar revenue ($891m USD) in 2012 to Topicus in 2021 ($846m USD).

Here are the revenue growth rates for those years:
CSU : 15%
TOI: 50%

Here are the acquisition amounts in those years:
CSU: $141m USD
TOI: $385m USD

By the numbers, it would seem that Topicus is significantly more aggressive in terms of growth by acquisition than Constellation was when it was the same size back in 2012.
My question is can Topicus keep this rate of acquisition up over the next five years or so, or are they picking off the low hanging fruit and things will get much more difficult down the road? Thanks
