Q: Hi 5i,

What are your top 5 conviction stocks currently (Canadian or US)?

What about your top 5 defensive stocks (with a dividend) if we are concerned about a downturn in the market?

Thanks,
Evan

Q: Hi,

Already holding HPS.A at 3.6% and I like the growing power thesis. Do you think buying ENS, MPWR or APH would be too much? I like the growth of all these other names but is owning all four too many? How would you rank them to buy now for best risk adjusted return?

Q: Hello 5i!

I know you like this company, I have a half position in it and it’s down about 10% in the last month.
Would you add to this position today?
Do you still like the current fundamentals and feel there is some good growth in the next 2 years?
Thanks as always!

Q: Do you consider these all industrial?

uri ens grid.to png.v mda.to vrt stn.to gpgi wsp.to tri.to krmn eose ceco zdc.to axon

If so, what would your current ranking be? Or if it's a better question, what would your ideal 5 stock portfolio be?
Replace with other industrial stocks as desired.

Would you agree that industrials look good going forward? And any preference to Can/USA focus for the sector right now?

Q: So many members ask questions where they ask you to rank a number of companies which they suggest. Let me change that up a. bit. Please rank the top 10 Canadian companies that YOU think have the best chance of yielding the highest returns for 5i members In 2026. Perhaps an unfair question but I"m curious.

This was a question asked earlier which seems quite popular. Can I ask the same question for US stocks
Thanks

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Hi 5 I
I’m rebalancing nvda, and thinking of purchasing defence which I don’t have. What would be first and second choice of ktos, krmn, rklb.
Also would ens system be a good buy right now, and if so where would it fit in with the above defence. Thanks very much for all your good advice.

Q: What handful of small to mid cap companies do you see as having home run/Palantir type potential? I don’t care what exchange the companies are listed on. I’m willing to be patient and realize your picks are purely speculation.
Thanks

Q: Re your question from WIB today.

You suggested these names as great small caps for growth.

Cudos to you but YTD ENS is +22% and +80% 1 year. KRMN is +54% YTD and VOYG is +30% YTD.

This is extraordinary performance congrats. Given these outsized short term gains what would your purchase strategy be today if you do not own them. Buy at market, wait for a pull back, average in etc etc?

Please advise.


With thanks

Sheldon

Q: Hi Team,
I am debating trimming some of my RDDT shares to buy an initial position in ENS. Would you endorse this move or no? Which of these 2 names do you see as having the most potential over the next few years? I am a bit torn as I really like the potential I think RDDT has, but also am intrigued over the market opportunity ENS may have in the coming years. Could you do a quick comparison of growth rates and market potential for both?

Thanks,
Shane.
