Investment Q&A

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

Q: What do you think of Khols investment in Sephora ? With the big spend mostly behind them now. Koyfin shows EPS $2.93 in 2025, and $3.54 in 2026. Is there to much competition out there in what they sell ?
Trading at 0.6x book, cant be any worse on a Risk/Reward basis than the high growth tech stocks have been, knowing all along the repercussions on the price of those stocks, when it seemed logical that rates would continue to rise.

Q: You had a few comments about this this stock in the past month; one suggesting it being a buyable option below $152.

RBC Capital Markets has a $336 USD Target price and it sits on their Top 30 Global Ideas list. Morningstar rating is 5 with a Fair Value est. of $269. Currently seems to be a Hold among analysts. You have already some comments on recent corporate performance.

There is some noise of legal class action, yet not sure how significant this would be or whether it creates a drag on the stock. Add to the mix a new CEO.

I'd be very interested in your take on this stock given the above and its' meltdown with the market. Thanks, as always, for your insights.

Q: If you were to put odds on ATZ recovery to say $35 stock price (my average cost) what would that be?
I am not impressed at all on their 'missed opportunities in the level of new styles' and this worries me the most actually. This is fashion; they ought to know this.

My daughter and her friends in a large high school still think ATZ is THE store to shop for clothes so at least this gives me some comfort.

Q: Good morning 5i; I would appreciate your assessment on the stock performance of NEE in the medium term based on the no/slow growth announcement today. The stock has dropped 8.2% on the news, which ironically was the same day it was selected for Morgan Stanley's dividend playbook. I hold it for modest growth and $US dividend diversification. I'll likely swap out if I conclude it has the hallmarks of an underperformer.

Q: Hi Team,
In regards to Well health; why is there such a disconnect between the share price and the analysts target prices at the moment? Other than current market weakness that is? My qtrade account shows 8 analysts with a average target price of $9/ share, all of which are current targets within the last couple months. One guy even has target of $12 that was reitterated on Aug. 10th. You would think if its institutional investors trading most of these shares that if the consensus is so great that they would not be selling, and would support the share price? Is Well currently this undervalued? If so would make it a compelling buy at the current $4 and change. Thanks,

Shane.

Q: Follow up to question and response about providing reports at least every 12 months on companies that are in your portfolios. TFII was last formally reported upon back in April 2022. You responded it was 'flash' reported in February 2023. When I search reports for TFII, all that comes up is April 2022. Where is the flash report hiding? It should appear when a search is done. I'm sure customers would appreciate having all reports in one area.

Q: I was very surprised to read your answer to a question from Dennis on September 28th and I’m looking for an explanation as I hold BNS in all my accounts and have always considered it one of Canada’s top blue chip companies that has been paying a dividend for over 100 years. You ranked BNS second from last in dividend sustainability behind high debt, high payout ratio, low growth companies like BCE, T and ENB. Thanks.

Q: On Sept 7 Dave asked a currency question and your response was: ‘ The US economy does seem stronger, and we think the US dollar will outperform. Also, when investors get scared, and move to a 'risk off' mentality, they move to the US dollar for safety. Generally, we don't spend much time predicting currencies.’
We’ve recently come into some US dollars and are hoping you could provide some direction for us despite your reluctance to speculate. Brian Ackers’ prediction on BNN this week is the Canadian dollar will fall dramatically to 68 cents. We’re not interested in perfect timing but would like to convert some of it within the next 3-6 months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
