Investment Q&A

Q: Does the company explain the nature of the delay from one customer? Delay in placing an order, accepting the finished order, paying? Can we be confident that is just a delayed transaction?
I've seen examples where an event like this turned out to be more serious than it first appeared.

Q: Just a follow-up to your recent answer on ADF, does any “single customer” type risk exist with this company or do they have a broad base of clients? Thanks,

Q: This morning they reported and for the EPS, they beat handily the with .51 vs expected .39. The cause of this was a great increase in their margins. On the other hand, the revenue came much lighter at nearly 75M vs expected 92.6M.
They mentioned 1 customer had a delay which will come at a later date of 35M which would have made the revenue for the quarter at 110M vs once again the expected 92.6.
In your experience, how would the market react to such news?

Q: Retired relying on DB pension. In small cap growth oriented TFSA holding PMZ now above ACB so it is on sell list. Dilemma: where to add the funds to above list of existing TFSA holdings? How would 5i rank existing holdings in terms of probability of highest growth in next 2 to 3 years?

Q: The following 5 companies make up the majority of my small cap portfolio:
HPS.A - current price $ 113 CAD
TVK - current price $ 95 CAD
Celestica - current price $ 58 CAD
Docebo - current price $ 55 CAD
ADF group - current price $ 12.9
Propel holding- - current price $ 27.29 CAD

Please recommend which positions you would add to, at today prices, in descending order (most preferred to least preferred). Thank you very much and have a good day.

Q: I would like to set up a concentrated balanced portfolio of 6 Canadian value and 6 growth companies. I'm looking for the very best companies Canada has to offer, currently. I realize you have a balanced portfolio but I'm looking for the companies that are poised to do the best in the current ecomonic environment. As always, thanks for your much appreciated advice.

Q: I just finished contributing to a full position in HPS.A. I'm looking to start contributing to some of the smaller growth companies that your group recommends. I’m considering DRX, CLS, TVK, TOI and LMN. In what order would you recommend and what price to buy for the next 2-3 years.

Q: Can you rank in order the top 10 small caps that you feel have the most potential over the next 6 months and provide a quick statement on why each is included?

Q: Peter; What restrictions would be on DRX with respect to its share buyback and earnings tomorrow ? Thanks. Rod

Q: Peter; Are there any estimates for next weeks earnings, after their last blowout quarter? Thanks.

Q: Hi, Small/Mid Cap sector is performing really well and most of 5i portfolio constituents have seen a remarkable recovery over past few weeks. However, this one continues to languish, with no momentum in sight. What's causing investors to be so negative on the company, despite solid results and swelling order book ? Is there anything, in your view, which could change the market sentiment ?

Thank You

Thank You

Q: In what order would you rank these stocks today for growth.What would you consider a good entry price for each?

Q: Which order would you add to these small cap stocks? Do you think they have long term potential?

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at updating/rejigging my TFSA account, are you able to rank the above stocks from 1 - 12, looking at a 3 year hold. These are a mix of some I hold and some I want to purchase. Not worried about size, risk and or industry. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
Can you please give me the expected growth rate for these companies over the next 1-2 years.
Secondly, if you had to raise cash which order would you trim or sell outright?
Thank you so much for all your help!
Dave

Q: I'm going to sell OTEX. What would you replace it with?

Q: Hello,

What are you thoughts on ADF’s current valuation and attractiveness as a buy. Personally I look at it on a forward growth rate as very very attractive after being nearly cut in half. Am I crazy?

Q: Hello 5i team, given events of this week, a lot of valuations have changed. I have a lot of CLS and am hoping it's a solid stock that got tossed into the penalty box due to a perception of it just being an AI stock.
If you had $10,000 today, and were looking to invest in high-growth over the next 5 years, how would you allocate it please? Or if that's too specific, please order the stocks from most to least favourable if bought today.
Thank you!

Q: Hi, hold enough EIF that I want to divest and diversify. Looking for high growth over the next 4-5 years, but not as interested in dividends. I also hold a fair bit of CSU and gsy, so am thinking along those lines. What would be a good ranking for the following at today's prices (best to worst), and are there another couple additions you'd suggest? Big thanks!
DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: Hello 5i...with respect to Cdn Industrials...I am looking to consolidate 9 positions into 6 to 7 holdings...thaey are ( largest to smaillest holding ) WSP, TFII, EIF, ATS, CJT, HPS.A, TRI, TVK, DRX, I am looking for some sort of combo of stable growth ( I have good gains in WSP and TFII and will hold, but could trim ) and potential exceptional growth. Would appreciate if you could rank based on growth and how you might see a consolidation effort for these.

One option being considered is to move completely out of CJT and /or ATS to US industrials and looking at potentials FIX or TT... would like your opinion on this move and if you have preference for one or another suggested potential US industrial ( I already hold AXON )

thanks/Art
