Investment Q&A

Q: Thoughts on this company as an investment? When is the lockup period done?

Q: Myself and my 21 yo daughter have been building a balanced portfolio following your recommendations. Thanks to your service this has been an incredible learning experience for her and profitable to boot! Right now we are trying to decide between PINS NVDA and AMZN to add to her TFSA (We are also adding TT at this time and are balanced across market sectors). Just wonder which you would prefer at this time for potential long long term growth.

Q: Hi, This is a list of potential momentum companies that you had suggested to another member. When I go into the 5i profile for each one, they all have negative P/E's except BKNG.
Am I reading this correctly - are they all losing money?

Q: Given your answer today about BEPC having too much of a premium, do you advice selling it and buying BEP.UN instead?

Q: Thoughts on NFI going forward? Investor day today in Winnipeg. Did you have a chance to tune in? Marketseems to like the guidance. Thx

Q: Given the thesis's that has recently been discussed in Seeking Alpha and in the Globe, as well as NFI's high market share/strong relationships, and the guidance provided in today's Investor Presentation, I would think that the stock has the potential to rise greater than the 52 week high of $33.94 in the near future. The main driver is the move to Zero Emission Buses (ZEB), in part aided by infrastructure spending/subsidies, from traditional buses.

NFI had been trading at $59.00 in February of 2018. At that time the Fiscal 2017 Performance was Revenue: US $2.38B, Adjusted EBITDA: US $318.0M and Return on Sales: 13.4%. That was prior to their acquiring Alexander Dennis.

NFI had their "Virtual Investor Day" this morning; which would have been a greater catalyst than the Seeking Alpha article. I watched the investor day video
https://www.nfigroup.com/investor-relations/investor-day-2021/ this evening, during which NFI:
- reaffirmed its financial guidance for 2020, including Adjusted EBITDA of $145 million to $155 million;
- announced its financial guidance for 2021, including Adjusted EBITDA range of $220 million to $240 million, representing a potential improvement of over 50% from 2020 expectations; and
- announced longer-term targets for 2025, including Adjusted EBITDA of $400 million to $450 million and a Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") target above 12%.

Given the above, as well as the state of today's markets as it relates to renewables and EV's do you think that we might see NFI trading at or near $60 in the next year?

Thanks for the great work you do!!!

Q: I recently lucked out with this small cap (+50%). Should I cash in and move on?

Q: I did a lot of research on this recent IPO and liked what I saw. It's pulled back lately and I'm wondering if I blew it. What do you think?

Q: Why do you think this small cap has bumped up so much lately?

Q: Could you please comment on the business combination of Advent Technologies Inc and AMCI Acquisition Corp. It looks like a SPAC deal in the fuel cell and hydrogen technology sector.

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i. Could you advise if there are US and/or international tax implications for Canadian residents from owning a well-diversified international ETF such as XEQT or VEQT, in a non-registered Canadian account? For example, roughly 47% of XEQT is made up from, in part, an ETF that's traded on the NYSE: ITOT.

Thanks as always for your help and advice.

Q: Hi Guys Happy new year
between these 2 companies which one would you think will have better growth in the next couple of years.

Q: Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street fame has added Miller Industries to his portfolio this year. I know Eddy spends a lot of time analyzing companies ahead of bringing them into his portfolio and he is giving Miller a glowing recommendation. I wonder what your take is of Miller as an addition to a growth TFSA portfolio?

Q: I have held ECN for a while now, but after SOFI went public which do you think is better? Thanks

Q: Appreciate your best advice regarding selling half of my large position of Visa and purchasing Walgreen's in my cash account. Anticipating Walgreen's will be very involved in providing vaccinations. Or better to stay with a large concentration of Visa with the economic recovery (hopefully) in USA. What is Walgreen's dividend? Thanks for your valuable input/advice as always.

Q: Could you provide the names of a few US regional banks which have good investment fundamentals?

Thank you
