Investment Q&A

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

Q: Ignoring the the stock based compensation issue, it seems this company is caught with increasing administration costs , negative net cash flow generation , decreased ( slightly ) margins , This is countered with continuing growth in sales and backlog and and a forthcoming product price increase. I am interested to see if financially they are able to handle these dynamics. Their products seem good and they are in the big themed industries
( data centres, EV charging , infrastructure etc ) but could you dig into their financial capabilities for us. Thanks . Derek

Q: Seems like they are going to have trouble keeping up with demand. They are expanding to $900 million capacity, and then $1 billion by end of decade. If they want to grow faster and keep up with demand and capture market share, would they buy a competitor to gain more capacity faster, or?
What would you advise them to do strategically?
Could they be acquired by a larger company?

Q: Not really a question, more a comment.

HPS would have been a perfect candidate for a collar trade prior to earnings, IF options were available,which they weren't

With such an impressive gain prior to earnings there was a big risk of a major stock decline if earnings weren't met.

A 23% decline in 2 days is pretty painful, regardless of how the stock has performed to date.

An option to hedge would have been nice.

Q: With the “missed” earnings, if there was a sharp pullback tomorrow, at what price range would you be a buyer? Aggressive buyer? Would you wait a few days or weeks for it to settle before buying? Avg cost is $50 so I’m still nicely up but would like to add more to my position for a long term investment. Assuming you still the long term thesis on this story? Thanks!

Q: Hi team,

About 6 month ago, you provided a list of 10 stocks you considered "high conviction" buys. Thus, I bought VRT, HPD.A, LLMN. I have no regrets so far....for good reasons.
Grateful if you would provide your actual high conviction list, both in Canadian and U.S. stocks, indicating your order of strongest conviction.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
