Q: I am thinking of starting a position in CWX but want your thoughts before I pull the trigger. They recently announced what appears to be very strong preliminary results for Q1 and the stock had been responding nicely, hitting an all time high ($10.83). Then this morning the company announced a $75m bought deal at $10.00 per share to shore up the balance sheet and have money for acquisitions. The stock is now 10% off the high set a few days ago. Is this an opportunity to jump in and take advantage of a temporary dip as the new shares are absorbed into the market or are there any warning signs you see? As well, do you have confidence in management and see this as a solid long term investment with a safe dividend yield (currently 4.88%)

Many Thanks

Scott

Q: Hi to all 5I research thanks for the great work. My question is on CWX.to . Last quarter of 2019 they reported 04 cents and I was looking at a recent analyst report from Thomson R and they are calling for a 19 cent for q4 2020 up from 90 days ago of 13 cent and 6 strong buys and one buy. Own the stock for 5 years now and ask this question every march for the past 4 years. I like this sector because it is a renewable product and always in demand thanks to climate change. Is this earnings report match yours? They also call for a 8.80 stock price average do you agree with this number? Thanks again.

Q: I see according to one source that the payout ratio for this stock is 187% (trailing) and 125% (forward) and using cash flow it is astronomic. Do these numbers jive with your sources, and do you think a dividend cut is likely. Also, please give me your current opinion of the company (I know the sector is out of favor). Buy, sell or hold at the moment, in your opinion. Thanks, Don

Q: A few days ago Canwel has finish acquiring western wood treating company in California. What size of company was this compared to cwx itself before buying up one of its competitor. Would this affect there next earnings report in a negative way or should this be a positive outlook. If you look at the history of this company is it growing at fast pace or would consider it growing at average pace. I guess my question is, has this company double in size in less then five years as an example ?Thanks for great info you provide

Q: I need to pick up a stock with good yield, while this stock would not giving that yield back via share price losses.

The two names I been looking at are DIV (showing some strong TA indicators of late) and CWX (considerable insider buying recently). In your view which one would you prefer? Again my key issue is which one is less likely to slide back in share prices and provides a safer dividend? Thanks.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! You have answered several inquiries about this company and from the answers, I gather, holding the stock and receiving its big dividend are risky. The Futura corporation just bough some more stock and owns 16.96% of the shares.( source yahoo finance)...This Corporation is owned by the same person, Amar S. Doman, who owns Canwel. Is this significant? Or in a roundabout way is he buying up his own shares via this corporation? Cheers, Tamara

Q: CWX is down from its high and would like to buy a full 5 % position in my portfolio. I know the debt is a bit high due to inventory but if your garage has 20 cases of beer in it isn't that a good thing. I find having inventory puts the company in a position to manage good and bad times. The 2.25 percent payout at the end of this month is it safe?With hurricanes and wild fires everywhere pressure treated wood will be needed I think. Should I proceed with a full position before the dividend payout. Thanks for the great work you do.
