Investment Q&A

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

Q: TMX Group looks pretty attractive on a few valuation metrics and its balance sheet looks pretty strong as well. How quickly can a poor market influence TMX's eps expectations? Are its earnings pretty much insulated from a poor market, or can a poor market knock down its earnings expectations, 10%, 20%, 30%??

Thanks.

John

Q: Happy New Year 5i Team.
We have been considering TMX Group (X-T) to add to our holdings for some time.
We are long term hold and income investors.

In a recent answer to a question (December 11, 2017) regarding TMX you replied…
“..The main concern would be the lack of new listings, but listing are somewhat cyclical.”
David Baskin, regarding TMX mentioned on BNN (January 4, 2018) … “Business is going well on all fronts, and the TSX was #1 in international listings last year.”
Do the recent ‘newly’ listed cannabis companies on the TSX improve your opinion of the ‘lack of new listings’ ?

Perhaps I am misinterpreting something here, if so I do apologize.
Do you happen to have any new outlook for TMX for 2018?
Thank You
Dennis

Q: Was about to enter positions in these names but they all took off 5 percent or greater after earning release. Would you wait for them to settle before starting a position? Other then a major market correction when is the best time to buy?

Q: Good Morning
I hold a position in TMX which declared adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.11 in Q1 2017, up 11% compared with Q1 2016and revenues of $186.1 million, up 5%. Cash flow from operating activities of $67.0 million, up 20%. They are also raising the dividend 11%. Any idea for the drop of 5.5% this morning? Do you suggest I hold or sell?
Thank you Marty

Q: X has had a run up recently. Still, I see a forward P/E approx. 13 times. 1.1 price to book and under 12 price to cash.
I do love to compund "toll road" dividends. BUT, is X truly a toll road these days? Some comment about competion in the space, but who exactly are the competitors? I don't want to buy the stock only to see it become "Uberized" by new technology in a short or medium term.
I am looking for a long term hold and hoping dividend increases are on the way. Set it and forget it.
Your thoughts please. Keep up the great work and many thanks.

Cheers
John
