Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
It looks like Prysmian (from Italy) has made an offer to acquire Encore Wire @ $290.00/share. Encore has 35 days to shop around for other proposals. It also looks like there may be a lawsuit against the Board for failing to conduct a fair process.

What would be your recommendation at this point in the process? Sell or hold?

I was really hoping that this would be a long term hold.

If one were to sell what would be another similar company that you would recommend for a long term hold? Something in the "electrification" and renewables would be preferred.

I already own HPS, PWR, NXT which I suppose I could add to but I may have to trim HPS due to its run up.

How do you feel about MYR Group or Sterling Infrastructure?

Thanks!

Q:


Is STRL big and strong enough to do well in these times? any safer stock with good growth prospects--Canadian or USA? Take as many credits as needed to answer. Helen

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please comment on NWPX's earnings and guidance, which caused the stock price to drop 15% today. Would you consider it a buy, hold, or sell, for the next 3+ years? Could you please suggest some better growth and safer alternatives in this space.

Thanks!
