Investment Q&A

Q: How would you rank the following stocks for long term growth based on their current evaluations?

Q: Given the strong run in BDT, is it still worth buying at these levels. Any other stornger for longer performers to recommend?

Q: There has been lots of good discussion about these 6 stocks on your forums section over the last year BDT, DRX, GSY, HPS.A, PRL, VHI. All have been big winners. Do you think they are still promising investments at current prices?

Q: What do you think about BDT's prospects in the upcoming Canadian economic landscape?

Their shareholder material suggests they're exposed to renewable and green energy infrastructure projects, extractive sectors like mining (critical minerals), as well as the constant talk about needing to build more homes all seem like tailwinds. I also like the emphasis on health and safety of their workforce which suggests a healthy and mature management team.

From a financial POV they seem to tick a lot of boxes too. Good historical ROE growth, heathy debt levels, a healthy/diversified backlog, growing forward EPS, and approaching $1B in market cap.

What do you think about BDT's prospects?
What's the bear case for BDT?

Q: will you buy both or one only and which one?

Q: Would you please compare these 3 stocks using your usual metrics and determine which one you would recommend for a tfsa for a 3 to 4 year hold and perhaps an entry price? Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on their earnings and forward earnings.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Good Day,

After your response to my last question, I have deliberating between CELH and CROX (one of your recommendations to expand my portfolio), as well as ELF (come up a lot Lately in the questions).

For your other recommendations of PSTG CRWD DDOG and PLTR, I do like their fundamentals AND their businesses. However, between what I hold already, and the business they're in, I'm worried that in a period when I'm focusing less on the markets, a major player in their space may offer a major, well polished, competitive product. For example, EMC, Hitachi, Oracle, etc could announce something that would slow/change the outlook on PSTG, and I could miss out on locking in some gains.

Also, I've noticed BDT is constantly hitting new highs. I've owned them here and there a few years back, but they've been killing it since then it appears.

So, with all that in mind, and the portfolio from my previous question, and the fact that CELH blew up yesterday (I got busy and didn't get to make my move when you responded earlier this week :( ). Which 2out of CELH, CROX, ELF, and BDT would you suggest? What inning in a baseball game would they be in their lifecycle, their risk, and growth potential, for each of these 4 options.

Thanks!! The last 6 weeks have been huge for me thanks to your help! Might have even shaved a year off my retirement age, so I'm incredibly happy with your service.

Q: Looking for updated thoughts on Bird Construction, it seems since the Fall of 2022 this stock (up 3X) turned around and has a nice run of new contracts expanding into Nuclear work for the Ontario Government, which is intriguing among many other contracts for larger builds and a nice growing backlog.
Market Cap nearing 1 billion which you seem to like as more Investors consider it.
Do you know Management at all and what are your thoughts?
Who is their nearest competitor regardless of size and who is their closest in size and competition in Canada?
What is the biggest risk you see to this specific company?
If you had to choose between BDT or another North American company in the same space (non-residential construction exposure) if not BDT who are they?

Q: Hi All,

I have 1/2 positions in the following and would like to add to the stronger companies going out 1-3 years.

Thank you

Q: Given the big push by gov't to build more homes, and given the shortage of same, will this be a good time to look at Bird?
Thanks

Q: What is your opinion of Bird Construction? Do you think it is a good time to start a position, with 3-5 yr time frame? Or, is there another commercial/industrial construction company you prefer?

Q: Is BDT a good buy at this time?

Q: Just looking for updated views on both.

Q: Good morning, 5i team!

KH Home, Toll Brothers & Pulte Home all get a buy ratings from Credit Suisse lately. Your thought on adding for1 of these 5 for a 3 to 5 years hold. Thank you!

Q: Hi, between these 2 unloved stocks, which one would you prefer over a 2-3 years period (I’m no teen!). Don’t need revenue but OK in TFSA for example.

Q: Can you please give me your opinion on how you would rank these companies and your outlook going forward? I'm most interested in ARE and NOA but the others are in the same area. Thanks!

Q: Thoughts on Bird Construction? Thanks...

Q: Good day. Industrials account for 13% of my portfolio. Currently I hold the companies listed above. I need to invest another $10,000 to bring my allocation to 13%. All the stocks listed are fairly equal weight. My question is which of these stocks do you think I should increase...or delete, and do you have a recommendation for a different stock that would fit here? I am thinking of adding TFII but am concerned it may be a duplication of the Mullen and CNR holdings. I look forward to your reply.

Q: Could you compare the prospects of Bird Construction to WSP Global?
