Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am thinking of buying Roger’s after the recent drop in price, do you think they will regain the price drop?Is it a good time to start a small position.
Thanks

Q: TD and BMO recently issued preferred shares. TD 5 Year Rate Reset Series 28 yielding 7.232%, reset 4.2%. BMO 5 Year Rate Reset Series 50 yielding 7.376%, reset 4.25.
Both press releases both include the line "will issue to certain institutional investors"
Can retail investors purchase these? The rate and reset seem fantastic based on the quality of the issuers.

Q: There has not been a question regarding this company since early 2021. At that time it was trading around $5 and it was suggested the results would be binary. Now it is $15, could you provide an update on this company regarding its progress and growth in revenue/profitability. Thank you. John

Q: Hi all,

I have full or close to full positions in 3 of the big 6 banks. Smaller positions in the others.

How do you feel ZWB would fit into the mix for income and potentially some growth?

Would it be a good compliment or would you just recommend sticking with the individual banks.

Thanks.

Q: I was just stopped out of CG on today's ex-dividend date. The stock took a precipitous drop, apparently, due to the announced departure of Kewsong Lee. I realize that this kind of thing happens all the time; however, is there a materially negative issue that should preclude my re-purchase of CG?
Thanks,
David

Q: With the share price depressed, I would imagine management would not want to issue equity for acquisitions as it would be too dilutive. In light of this, does Converge have enough cash flow to hit the 5 billion run rate in revenue for 2025? Or are acquisitions going to be largely debt financed? If debt financed, do they earn enough on these to overcome high interest rates and cost of capital? Thanks.

Q: I have cash available to add a couple of stocks to this portfolio.

Regardless of sector what are your top 2 or 3 recommendations to add to this portfolio.

Q: Do you have any sales, eps, etc expectations for Knight Therapeutics when they report Thursday morning? Thanks.

Q: I am wondering about the NAV for DIR.un as the company reported an updated value of $16.64 last week with its Q2. How often does a REIT update its own numbers for this as a rule? I note it trades at a 25% discount to this number now whereas a year ago it traded at a premium to NAV.

What comparable NAV numbers would SMU.un and GRT.un have and of the 3 is DIR.un still your favourite. Lastly please rank by risk.

Q: MPW pays a dividend of some 7%. I do hold a small position and am wondering if I should maintain or exit. I like the yield but in the past I have not had capital appreciation success with "high yield" stocks and usually ended with a net loss. I don't see any reason to exit except the high yield is telling me the market knows something I do not. Am I "over-reacting" ? Thanks John

Q: both companies keep hitting 52 week highs on large volume-so for me the old adage tends to apply-stocks that hit 52 week highs tend to go higher still, stocks that hit 52 week lows tend to go lower still.
i know both are speculative-what is your opinion, would you be a buyer.dave

Q: Your opinion on salt and it’s seemingly come from out of nowhere rise in value. Does it have staying power? As always, Thanks for your great service.

Q: Is starbucks stock a good investment

Q: Hi,
I just received notice from RBC that WSP has issued a Treasury Offering of Common Shares, priced at 171.75 Cdn, for a total of $400,013,000. It appears to be for the following:

On June 1, 2022, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement for the acquisition of the Environment & Infrastructure consulting business of John Wood Group plc (“Wood”) (the “Wood Acquisition”). The Wood Acquisition is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including anti-trust and regulatory conditions.

I'm not familiar with this company and wonder what effect it will have on WSP's operations going forward. Any thoughts you can offer would be most appreciated! It appears there would be a hold on shares purchased for a 4 months' plus one day period. I already have shares at a 3.5% weighting and am wondering is this is an opportunity to add, or would it be best to stand aside? would you consider weightings of 5, or even 8% in WSP when taking into account this offer and the recent infrastructure bill in the US?

Thanks for all your hard work!
