Investment Q&A

Q: I’m planning to reduce my Five Below exposure from 11% to 8% to manage position sizing. I am evaluating ADP as a replacement, given its historically low P/E and Dividend King status. Is this a logical entry point for ADP, or are there other U.S. equities I should consider instead for growth. Thanks

Q: Can you give me your best ideas for a near term purchase of US traded companies with a good yield and some growth potential?

Q: I replaced EXE by ADP at a 52 wks low on friday in order to get more stability + dividend growth ; is this move appropriate in your view and is AI a significant concern for ADP business ? I can' t wait for your feedback here !

Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can share your insight about ADP. Do you consider it a buy, Hold, or Sell and Why?

Q: Automatic Data Processing(ADP), just came out with their earnings report can you comment quickly on how you think that went? But more importantly can you tell me how changes in interest rates affect this companies profits and what you think of this company long term in the portfolio. For the most part it looks like a great company long term can you comment on the pros and cons and WHY did it have a correction of roughly -23% since it's all time high June 6th/2025? This a screaming buy now?

Q: Hi 5i,
These companies are all I have in the tech sector. Can you rank them for me and are they all currently buyable? I’m a long term holder of dividend companies can you recommend a couple more or maybe I should just buy more of what I have. Your help is appreciated!

Q: ADP and PAYX seem to have quite similar businesses and I am having a hard time picking the long-term winner in their HR services market. It doesn't seem to make sense to own both. Which of the two would you prefer for a long term investment and why?

Q: Could you suggest some US dividend stocks that you think are a buy right now and that may do well over the next year. Thanks

Q: As a dividend growth investor, with plan of living off of dividends well into retirement over the next 5 to 25 years (based on start of retirement and life expectancy assuming average Canadian life span), REGARDLESS OF SECTOR, what are your SAFEST and STRONGEST dividend paying stocks (with an equal emphasis on safety of dividend and strongest being quality of company).

thanks

Ernie

Q: What would be your top 5 US and Canadian Dividend Stocks with good outlook for growth as well.

Thanks

Q: hi there,

ADP is trading way above its historical average and the yield has dropped to about 2%. i understand that payrolls will go up as we come out of the pandemic but they have a huge gap to close just to get ot prior payroll levels. What is driving this valuation and does it make sense!

Q: I have read a number of articles predicting that a large number of jobs, possibly in the order of 1 out of 5 or more, will remain work at home after a vaccine is developed for COVID. If companies learn to manage "work at home" employees efficiently in North America, then it seems only a matter of time before these companies start transitioning their workforces to less expensive labour, employees who "work at home" from low cost countries. Do you agree with this hypothesis? If you do, it would seem to me that international HR firms will be in high demand, to assist firms to source skilled labour in low cost countries. Which firms do you see as being able to benefit from this possible trend? At the moment, it seems to me that the market is focussing mainly on the high tech beneficiaries of these trends.

Thank you for your excellent service, and thoughtful insights.

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you rank these companies in terms of growth and stability? I'm looking for a 5+ year hold.

TIA!

Q: Hi,
I already own some MA but I want to add more exposure to this sector. Which of these companies would you suggest for a long term hold with minimal volatility? (I'm not sure why why my TD webroker trading platform lumps CRM into the same category as the others but it does?)
Is there a credit card ETF you like?
Also, are there any equivalent Canadian stocks?

Q: Your present view of this co. please.

Q: Hi,
Automatic Data Processing Inc NASDAQ:ADP -Your assessment please on ADP as a long term holding - mostly as for it's dividend. It appears to be a consistent dividend grower, but are there other US stocks that you would recommend ahead of ADP for a combination of growth and dividend growth/performance. A Report at TD by Thomson Reuters has recommendations varying from Sell to Strong Buy?
Thank you.
