Investment Q&A

Q: In a reply.to a question asked by Satish on January 15th. You suggested an entry point of 65$ to look good. Would your opinion be changed with the recent run-up as of late to as high as 72$. Tks. Larry

Q: Are there any particularly compelling resource stocks that are worth buying currently. I have zero exposure to commodities and I am fine with that, but I am open to your recommendations, either CAD or US. I am a moderate-to-agressive investor.

Thank you.

Q: From a value perspective, where the current price is compared to it's historical price range and it's future potential, in what order would you add to these equities (NTR, FTS, XIT, XST, ZUT) to reach asset allocation goals?

I understand it is not apples to apples, due to some of the equities are stocks vs ETFs; and some are conservative vs aggressive.

When looking at both the technicals and fundamentals, I would suggest that NTR and ZUT are undervalued and could be earlier purchases, compared to FTS, XIT, XST. Purchases will be spread out over several months.

Your thoughts on the order?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Current long term owner of NTR....still up by quite a bit. I have some TFSA cash available to add more to NTR. Happy to let it sit making 4.5% in a cash investment while Nutrien completes it's current slide.

Q#1 = while any stock can continue to plummet, at what level do you conclude that the current price is absolutely buyable? As I write this question, NTR is at $69. Using technicals with a 50mda and a 200mda, it looks like the slide could continue for a while. When does the data conclude that you should just buy it? No one can time the bottom, but NTR is getting to levels that are pretty interesting.

Q#2 = on the NTR profile page, in the top box the P/B = 1.351. Down below, P/B is 1.01. Are these numbers from different timeframes or a data provider mistake?

Thanks....Steve

Q: If you had to choose just one of these companies to invest in, which one would you choose today? Would you still give a B+ rating to CAE? Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i Team,

If considering buying NTR, FNV or CCO for a 1-2 year hold, could you please rank your current preference with a brief comment. Thank you.

Brad

Q: I'm down about 20% or so on this one. I know you're against averaging down, from what I've read, but do you see long term (5+ years) value at these prices?

Q: You answered Cathy's question about Nutrien on January 12, and I have a similar question. I met someone last week who works for Nutrien, and states that the company is in trouble and starting to sell off some of its businesses in various communities. I am not sure if there is any validity to this statement and curious if your research shows otherwise.

Q: Hello,

I notice some recent questions about NTR. To further those, at what price would you consider an attractive entry point (for a long term RRSP hold)?

Thanks!

Q: Good morning. Nutrien has had a bad week. Is this just the cyclical nature of fertilizer or is there something else going on?

Cathy

Q: Would you buy these stocks now and in what order?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Your opinion

Q: I need to gradually raise cash over the next 6 months and am operating on the assumption that interest rates will begin a to decline in late Q1, I would only like to sell those holdings that are less likely to do well in a declining interest rate environment. Please rank each of these holdings from "Sell Now - least likely to benefit from a declining rate environment" to "Avoid Selling - should do very well in a declining rate environment". AQN, BCE, BN, BNS, DSG, ENB, GSY, KXS, NTR, PBH, TCN, TD
Thanks...Glenn

Q: Hi 5i
I'm considering adding to NTR $76. Would appreciate your thoughts on when demand may pick up. Also BHP is going ahead with Jansen. Is it likely to weaken pricing/profitability for NTR?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Hi Team,
I am looking into taking a position (or two or three :) in one or all the following names that have pull back significantly from their all time high to get some exposure in the "agriculture" sector.

Q1- How would you rank these companies in term of stability and appreciation potential for a 3 to 5 years holding period.

Q2 Considering the fact that they are in the same sector, would you consider these companies as complementary or more as proxy to each other?

Thank you!

Michel

Q: I have a well diversified TFSA with 23 stocks. I usually hold for long term. Looking to add one more stock and I have short listed to AFN, NTR AND RCI.B. Would appreciate your ranking and brief why.

Also, 5i Research is my main source for decision on buy/sell. I use your resources on a daily basis. Thanks for the years of service.

Q: If both stocks were held and both at a loss of 10 to 12 % and I was thinking to need cash from one.I like the better dividend from white cap but if going forward I would have only one .Which one do you feel is a better bet to regain and provide higher growth potential? Tks Larry

Q: I currently have a loss position in NTR and am looking at selling to crystallize. While I may not execute this until after the year end to see if there is a January bounce can you recommend a replacement to buy and hold for 30 days and then rebuy NTR.

Q: Can you recommend a few other Canadian value stocks like SLF, with a low P/E, good dividend and little or no debt - it would appear that SLF has a net of about $74B in cash.
Thanks!

Q: The Market Data for Nutrien shows a slight decline in earnings from 2023 to 2024 and yet analysts have a median price target of $103.95. If earnings are expected to flat line why would analysts expect price appreciation for the stock?
Also you have mentioned Nutrien is a favourite in materials. What would be your case for buying today.
Thanks
Mike
