Investment Q&A

Q: Regarding companies like PLC that have businesses spread all over the US, does it make any potential privatization or buyout less likely for PLC, or does it have zero influence on any potential suitors?

Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I have given about 450 shares of VRAR about a week ago - into my RBC online account.

do you know from which stock that was spun-off from? Thank you.

Q: I currently have a small position in SFTC. It currently seems to be drifting in the last little while. I’m wondering if there is a fair bit of potential for this company or would we be better off taking profits and finding a similar company with a bit more upside? If yes what would you suggest?

Thank you for providing such a great service.

Q: There was a short report released on Seeking Alpha yesterday on PBH. Well an article with a short thesis anyway. I've read through it and yes some points made were small concerns I had like the debt starting to be a concern again and that they will likely have to do another equity raise to get money to help with that. Also to a lesser degree the fact that they are claiming to be on the right side of ESG and health conscious people which is clearly not that true for a company that specializes in cured meats, deli sandwiches and pretty heavily processed foods. But I'm more concerned with your thoughts around the valuation being as high as he claims. Is this a metric you would use to value PBH, and then comparing it to high priced FANG companies? There were also some "questionable" exec comp payouts in their opinion. Can you provide your voice of reason? PBH has been on a good run this last year.

Q: Can you please give me your opinion on how you would rank these companies and your outlook going forward? I'm most interested in ARE and NOA but the others are in the same area. Thanks!

Q: Are potash companies worth an investment now? Any reccomendations?

Q: Hi 5i team. Can you comment on ADSK. It’s been on a downtrend lately since last earnings announcement. Is this company still in good financial shape for future growth or should be concerned about cash flow headwind with their recent changes to subscription payment plans? If fundamentals still look fine, what might be a good entry price point for this stock? Would recent news cause stock to go sideways for a while before picking back up from its current level?
