Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you provide your 5 top Canadian growth companies (in order) along with where (price) you think they might be a year from now and 2 years from now. For each one, please provide a quick note on what makes each company so compelling and rate each with a confidence indicator (10 highest). I understand these are your best assessments of things at this time.

Q: Not a question but an observation. Interesting times with the smaller Canadian banks and other financial firms. Stephen Smith selling First National and then his Fairstone buying LB. Then EQB ( which he has a position in ) getting involved with the Weston’s PC Financial. Then there is the Desmarais family and Wealthsimple.

Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.

Q: Good morning,

I'm trying to help my daughter (who is in her late 20s) with her portfolio which is a bit difficult because she is morally opposed to several lines of business (crypto, oil/gas, AI, defence to name a few) however I did notice she doesn't have any major CA bank equities at the moment. Some of my co-workers use a different research company who I think recently advised their clients to sell TD. I didn't see any recent questions on here about the CA banks lately so could you please tell me what your preferred bank is at this time (regardless whether I listed it or not.) It will be for a long term hold in her FHSA.

Cheerio,
Zara in BC

Q: I currently only own TD, X and EQB in my RRSP. I would like to sell EQB and thinking of buying BN. Is this a good replacement stock or is there a better financial stock you like at this time. Money not needed for 20 years.

Thanks

Q: Hey 5I

Seeing how PRL is in a bit of a spiral for all the reasons you've recently mentioned, I am contemplating selling PRL and buying EQB with a plan to but back into PRL when it turns around. What do you think?

Q: Hello Team,
Could I have two sectors you recommend right now, and two Canadian names in each sectors please.
Many thanks!
Read Answer Asked by Issaku on October 03, 2025
Q: I am constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the intention of holding all positions for the longterm, holding the following equities in equal weight (likely only one of MRU or L - or should I include both?), with 80% of the portfolio consisting of these individual equities and 20% in the ETF VGG.

Would there be any in this list you would not include, and are there other Canadian equities you would consider for this list? Is this the appropriate number of positions for such a portfolio. Please deduct multiple credits as required, thank you.
