Q: Can you please provide some thoughts on its recent softness. Other stocks like WSP and STN have held up relatively much better, during the current market setback. Stock price is now off over 20% + from its recent high of $84 and and continues to be in a downtrend. Is present valuation expensive, compared to its peers ?

We have a 2.5% holding with an ACB of $73. Do you see potential for recovery in the stock price or should we let it go ? Please support your view with reasons to hold or sell.

Thank You

Q: Hello, I am wanting to increase my TFSA Industrial sector from 12% to 15%. I presently hold ATRL CP MDA and DRX. Which would be better addition RTX or ATS? Another thought is add RTX and replace DRX (down 30%) with ATS. I do hold for longer term. Thanks for any comments.

Q: A few months ago you rated WSP, STN, and ATRL in that order; is this still the case?

BNN pundits have touted WSP's experience in power infrastructure and ATRL's in nuclear reactors, and given the scale of the projects involved, these competences should matter (particularly as concerns nuclear.)

In your database, WSP stands apart from the others w/rt both market cap and margins, ATRL shows lower debt/equity, while STN shows the best ROE - yet they all show elevated P/E metrics such that one might wonder if their appreciation potential were already baked-in.

Q: I read that ATRL owns a nuclear energy plant. I also read that many climate change groups have now accepted that nuclear energy is the future. Atkins-Realis stock price has gained almost 25% in the past 2 months. What is fueling the stock price change? How much value to you put on its nuclear plant with respect to its recent and potential future gain?
Thank you very much

Q: I would like to get some exposure to nuclear energy. What would you suggest? Do you like any of these companies?

Q: I read a piece In the G&M by Rosie on the weekend re: nuclear energy as a potential outperformer. It mentioned the above firms as potential investments. I did a little homework and of the Cdn firms, the only 1's I thought worth investing in were the ETF and ATRL. I was unfamiliar with the U.S. firms . Can you shed some light on them please? I do have positions in Hammond Power, SMCI & Vertiv, which I'm pleased with and am thinking of adding to. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me to enhance an informed decision.
