Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning, I’m thinking about selling DSG and buying PRL or EIF. This would be for my TFSA. Which of the two would be a better option. No concerns about allocation,thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
Please explain what I am missing about LMN, which is a name I know you are high on, and which has obviously done well as far as share price appreciation is concerned.
When I review its numbers nothing jumps out at me as a reason to buy - in fact, the opposite: EPS is -1.73; Revenue is substantial but no earnings that I can see - in fact pre-tax profit margin is -210.10%. ROE, ROA and ROC all seem meh to me, while price to sales and price to book seem high.
If it wasn't for 5i's recommendations regarding LMN, based on the numbers I don't think I would give it a second look.
I'm not adverse to owning it, especially given that lots of others seem to want to, and are willing to pay dearly for it. But why would I -or why would anyone else? Is it solely because its a CSU spinoff?
Please enlighten me. Thanks!
Peter

Q: I am considering triming the following stocks ALA, BDT, CVE, EFN, GSY, GWO, IAG, MEG, PEY, TVE, TVK, WCP and X. If I do trim, there will be significant Capital Gains. How would you rank them for total return over the next 2 years? How would you rank them for trimming and if different than above ranking, please advise the reason for the difference ? Thanks

Q: Any thoughts on where to put some capital to work in these areas?

Q: What are the pros/cons of buying shares in a company where the CEO owns 87% of the shares.I know you like to see insider ownership but is there a point where too much ownership by one person limits the stocks ability to appreciate. Do you like GRGD as a buy at this point?

Q: Taken from G&M Thursday: Kraken Robotics Inc : Canaccord Genuity raises target price to C$4 from C$3.50 but downgrades rating to “hold” from “buy. Just ahead of results that doesn't seem very upbeat. Is Cannacord a sell side analyst? Do Kraken have Sell Side analysts and what are their ratings and reasonning if any?

Thanks

Yves

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Pembina Pipeline issued a press release yesterday in which they announced a new tolling agreement/revenue sharing agreement with shippers which would result in revenue reduction of roughly $90 million dollars per year to the company over the next decade. Today, the stock price barely reacted, which I find puzzling. Am I missing something here, or is $90 million per year not that impactful to the company's prospects??
Your thoughts would be appreciated as always.
Brian

Q: In your opinion how safe is it hold AMD at the current price of this stock?

Do you see a reason to go higher or do you see a reason for the stock price to decrease?

Thank you.

Q: A you are aware ITA is a ETF focusing on the defence and aerospace sector. Is there a canadian ETF that I can buy on the TSX that accomplishes the same thing? As well what are your thoughts on GE. Would you recommend or do you think that it has run up too much and too quickly. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: With tariffs coming in the very near future do you think that i should reduce my exposure in PNG.I currently have a 5% position and have done very well.
My plan would be to buy back the shares on the dip and reinstate my 5% position.

Thanks for your Reply

Q: GSY has been on a bit of a recovery run lately; is this the stock overcoming past weakness or due to business trends that are favorable for its growth? It has earnings coming up and has done well into them but if they report a higher than expected loss provision then the stock is likely to take a hit after its recent gains.

Any thoughts on what's driving the strength of GSY?

Q: Please rank according to current buy rating. All of these equities are dividend aristocrats with current dividend/distribution higher than 4.5%. Thanks

Q: Any news behind the 5%+ gain on Friday. Stock has slowly gained back some of its losses since reporting a horrible Q4 2024 where management spelled out severe impact of freight recession and loss of market share. I have been patiently waiting for a better price to exit. What would you do ahead of Q2 results?

Q: Please rank the following companies based on expected growth over the next 5 years as well as a risk rating. (10 being the riskiest)
