Q: Antti Aarnio-Wihuri is now 85 years old. He is the primary owner of the Wihuri group, which in turn is the major shareholder (~50% IIRC?) of Winpak. Your recent report on Winpak is great, but doesn't contemplate the eventual transition of Wihuri's leadership and what that might mean for WPK. Potential for Wihuri to buy the WPK that it does not already own?

Q: Winpak has been a slow growth company for many years (10 year revenue cagr 5.8%), but last year had a jump in revenue of 17.9%. They have several expansion projects underway. Do you think last year was an outlier, or with their expansion plans, is there some potential they can sustain this growth rate? What does the market expect?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

Happy New Year greetings.

FTS and WPK have provided me excellent returns in the past 5 years but recently have been rather stagnant. Can you give a list of 3-4 suggestions to replace them with ( it does not have to be in the same sectors) inside a TFSA?

Thanks.

Q: I gave up on this stock WPK after several years in Tfsa. I am in early 60’s so don’t wish to go too far up risk scale, however our portfolio is fortunately quite significant so can take some risk.Hold BYD and Kinaxis. Do you have one or two other suggestions? Thanks, Bill

Q: Thanks to you Peter, I purchased Winpak (a co I'd never heard of) when I first joined 5i over 5 years ago. and am up about 75%. That said, it's been flat for the past 3 years and, since it's now in my TFSA, I'm wondering if it's time to sell for either a growthier or a higher-dividend paying company. I'm prepared to be patient, but if you see WPK as having a low dividend and slow growth future, perhaps it's not an ideal TFSA holding. Your thoughts appreciated.
