Investment Q&A

Q: Hi there,

Can you give me a 1 (low)-10 (high) ranking on these as to which you BUY/ADD right now for a 3-5 year horizon?

I know you’re not big fans of averaging down but are there any of these that you’d look at if you bought at higher prices?


Thanks.

Q: how do you rank them to buy now 1 to 10 after the q3 reported. thanks

Q: Thoughts on VHI earnings?

Q: Hello 5i Team

If we get a correct in the market would you have concerns with the above stocks. Would they still be a long term hold?
Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

As part of my Small Cap Portfolio I own KSI, VHI, WELL which have traded sideways for a while. I also own PNG, ZDC and ZOMD which have done very well over the last few months (thanks!).

Would you continue to hold all 6, do you see any other small cap companies I should/could move into? (Was looking at GRID, FTG or any other small caps you like)

In total, this 6 stocks are 13% of my total portfolio.

Thanks again.

Q: hello 5i:
Recently, I asked the following question and you answered:

Q: hello 5i:
knowing you've been a fan of this company, from reading questions, can you comment on the fact that analyst earnings expectations have dropped from .23 (to year end 2025), 6 months ago, to currently .12. Has this changed your view of VHI?
thanks

Asked by Paul on October 30, 2025
5i Research Answer:

According to Bloomberg, adjusted EPS goes from 12c estimated this year to 31c estimated in 2026. With $94M in cash and cash flow growing, we remain comfortable with the stock.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. I could see their projected earnings via Fastgraphs, but...................VHI has, shall we say, a not stellar (dismal?) record of meeting or beating earnings. So what are projections really worth?As earnings have been revised downward so much in the last 6 months, what suggests they won't be revised downward at the same rate? If you have confidence that earnings will not be revised downward, you must know something. Could you share that something?
thanks

Q: Hi,
Have 1.3% in VHI and 0.9% in WELL. If you had to consolidate into one position, which would you choose? WELL has been frustrating as it goes on these big runs and then pulls back and can't seem to get any traction, whereas VHI seems more of a steady long term compounder that is in a nice uptrend which has pulled back and looks like a good opportunity to add now. Would you continue to diversify and hold both or consolidate now and just hold VHI?

Also have small positions <1% in TVE and WCP and would like to consoidate. Is the difference in whether an investor wants more growth (TVE) or income (WCP)? Which one do you see having more growth going forward? Already own TOU. Thank you!

Q: I hold all three in an RESP that has to be wrapped up in 2026 so will be making larger than usual withdrawals. In what order would you sell and would you buyback in other accounts.

Q: Based on todays price, which would you favor? By a lot or a little bit?

Dennis

Q: Based on what happened to companies in the recent pullback are there any of your favourite Canadian growth stocks that provide better investment opportunities today than they did last week? If so, please list them in the order that you would purchase them today.

Q: Hello 5i
I have several small positions and am considering consolidating them.
Could you rank the following for growth with above average risk tolerance?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello, in what order today would you buy these stocks and at what price KSI,PNG,GRID,VHI,BLN,MDA,ZDC,HME,GSY,PRL,LMN,VNP,GLXY

Thank you

Q: Kneat.com, Well Health and Vitalhub all provide services to the health care sector and all have been recommended by 5i as buys in the past. Please rank in order of growth potential over the next five year and a current entry price for each.

Q: Which would you buy today for growth over the next few years? MDA or VHI?

Q: What needs to happen to get VHI back on track..It’s been exceptionally weak!

Q: From your latest ranking on favourite CAD small keep, should I interpret this as you now favour KSI over VHI? Would you sell a VHI position and jump ship to KSI?

Q: Thank you for the invaluable service you provide and from which I heavily rely on. The following stocks are in my grandchildren's RESP account: ARX, CLS, CNQ, ENB, RY, SLF, TD, TOU, TVE, VHI and WSP.
I have cash to deploy and would appreciate five NEW stock ideas along with suggestions on which EXISTING stocks, if any, you would add to, both in descending order. (I just sold IFC and TRI, so am not interested in adding either of them)Thanks.

Q: NBIS is now a 3-bagger for me. Thank you so much! If I were to ask you to pick the "next" NBIS, what would be your top 5 picks today, for a 3 year hold, ranked in order? I have a high risk tolerance.

Q: Vhi has been very poor since it’s equity issue.Do you see any catalysts on the horizon?
