Investment Q&A

Q: Can you explain the recent reorganization of trI, ie why my 500 shares turned into 492 with some return of capital.

Q: What are 5 or 6 Canadian stocks that are currently undervalued (not including CSU and related companies) that have good long-term potential and which are less volatile.

Q: Hello, my position in TRI has tanked and is now less than 1% of total holdings, and in a TFSA to boot. Going forward, does it make more sense to:
1)hold and hope
2)re-deploy to something with more upside potential.

Honestly, I'm surprised TRI is down this much and for this long. When I initiated the position I was expecting it to be a long-term keeper.

Q: The symbol for my Thomson Reuters Corp has changed to 66543D today. My online broker told me that this is because of a merger with another company, could you elaborate on this? I have been holding ABT for more than 5 years now and I am in negative territory with this stock today. Would you buy more, hold or simply sell for something better in the health care sector? Thank you

Q: Understand size and sector differences. Adding to a diversified portfolio, + 3 % in dollars of current. What rank in order to purchase for 3-5 year hold? (I see CLS moving favourably in pre-market).

Q: Hi 5i team,

I’m reading about a thesis and would love your view on it.

The idea is that today’s AI compute scarcity is temporary, kind of like the telecom/bandwidth bubble in the late 1990s. As inference costs keep falling over the next few years, I think the real value will shift from the infrastructure layer (GPUs, hyperscalers, data centers) to the application layer.

However, not every application-layer company will benefit. The ones whose moat is the AI itself could actually get hurt as models become cheap and everywhere. The real winners should be companies with moats that don’t depend on model quality — things like regulated workflows, payment rails, proprietary data, deep system integrations, or network effects. For these companies, cheaper compute should expand margins instead of creating new competition.

Two questions:
1. Does this thesis make sense to you, or do you see any flaws in the logic?
2. In your coverage universe, which names best fit the idea of “moat is the workflow / data / distribution, not the AI itself” and which names’ AI itself ‘might get hurt?

Thanks,
Matt

Q: I plan to start an investment into either TRI or LMN. Which stock do you think has the most upside.

Thank-you.

Q: I plan to do some consolidating and have a 3 part question:
Please rank companies on your conviction for total return over the next 3-5 years
Please indicate the position size you would hold each one - full, half, ……..
If the lowest two in the first part are not the ones you would get rid of - please explain. ram

Q: Given the AI threat to software, both OTEX and TRI are down about 40% in the past six months. What is your assessment of the rebound potential of these stocks? If you were holding OTEX would you switch to TRI and vice versa? Or would you hedge your bets 50/50 and hold both?

Q: If these were the only companies in a small Canadian portfolio: TRI, LMN, CSU and BAM, in what order would you sell?

Thanks

Q: I am thinking of selling TRI (my act is $234.00) then wait 30 days and buy backTRI do you think that TRI will increase materially in the next 30 days thanks Richard

Q: Hi Peter,
I own TRI shares in my C$ account. When will TRI pay out this special dividend with a reverse stock split? Is there anything shareholders need to do to receive this special dividend? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, I don't have any shares of TRI but have wanted some in the past. Is it still worth buying considering the drop it has had and would now be a good time to buy or is it better to wait for the split as I don't think I would be participating in the dividend. Thanks

Q: TRI: offering put option whereby sell back shares to corp.; but, at what price? You have mentioned special dividend. Is this part of the same thing?

Q: I have read your answer to a previous question on the recent TRI stock split. I am not a professional and don’t understand what is going on. Is there there is any downside to just keeping my stock and doing nothing?

Q: Normally, I would continue to hold these stocks – CLBT, SNOW, CSU, TRI, OKTA, HUBS, ADSK, KRMN - but all are in the red and I could use some capital losses for tax reporting. BUT all are rated as strong buys with good potential upside by TipRanks. I think only KRMN reports within the next thirty days. Would you sell any today? And would you buy them back in thirty days? Would I be better to wait until closer to the end of the year? Thank you.

Q: Energy is obviously trading at a premium, given the current conflict, and with this in mind I was thinking of taking advantage of the bump and trimming my CNQ and SU positions. While I don't have any concerns about the companies, it would seem to make sense to monetize some of those gains. That being said, the current conflict has obviously impacted other sectors and companies negatively. What are some opportunistic buys (in your opinion) of companies that are currently depressed by the current conflict, but whose balance sheets and business models are sound, and who will probably do fine over the next 5 years.

Q: I am having difficulty understanding what benefits will accrue to a) Tomson or b) shareholders as a result of the return of capital being proposed by Tomson together with the corresponding share consolidation. I have never considered a reverse split to be a positive sign for a company's future. Why is deal any different?

Q: What do you think of TRI at these prices? It seems quite volatile but recent news of solid customers, product and co-operation with AI firms should have calmed things down. What are your thoughts? Any alternatives?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Normally, I don't attend Meetings of shareholders, but I do vote online.

Thomson Reuters Corporation is having a Special Meeting of Shareholders in late April, to:

1. Consider, pursuant to an interim order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) dated March 11, 2026, and,
if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without amendment, a special resolution approving a plan of arrangement pursuant
to Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (OBCA) under which Thomson Reuters Corporation will (i) make a
special cash distribution of $605 million in the aggregate, and (ii) consolidate its outstanding common shares (or “reverse
stock split”) on a basis that is proportional to the special cash distribution, as described in the accompanying circular; and

2. Transact any other business properly brought before the meeting and any adjourned or postponed meeting.

Given that the share price has declined significantly, do such meetings for the Corporation provide an opportunity to discuss steps they may be taking to improve the share price?

Thanks as always for your valued insight and perspectives.
