Investment Q&A

Q: Hey 5i, these consumer staple stocks have basically done nothing over the last 10yrs. They used to be a place to go when you were concerned about market pricing with a little growth and a dividend. Have things fundamentally changed or is everyone just obsessing over AI and technology and forgetting this sector. Also is there anything buyable in the sector with some growth and a dividend.

Q: Hello, KMB has come down 13% in the last 5 days because of the proposed merger with Kenvue. Is this an opportunity to buy? If so, should I wait a while for it to settle down some more? The big question is : is this going to end up like Bayer acquiring Monsanto and then facing a neverending stream of lawsuits? Thanks.

Q: Are all of these companies buyable in your opinion? And how would you rank them if they were bought today while keeping in mind dividends, safety, growth there are a few sectors here so that aside. I do think some of these companies are being forgot about with all the focus on tech.

Q: Looking to take tax losses and not sure which to pick ? Some of them I can sell and not rebuy ? Please rate them as sell, hold, sell and rebuy. Thanks guys.

Q: Looking to buy Qualcom & BWX Thechnology. For this I need to sell some slight losers. DIS, MP, INFY, IBKR, CVX, SCHW, BABA, KBM . Please place these in order of those you would sell first , and maybe some you would not sell at all. And , also what do you think of my two choices to buy ? Thanks.

Q: Could you comment on KMB and if you think this is a good company to hold for long term, dividend. It seems to have high debt. Are there other similar companies you prefer.

Q: Hi, currently hold, PBH, ATD.B and WMT for my Consumer Staples allocation.
For yield , some growth and some safety, which is the better investment to add to my current holdings, KMB, PG, UL, or CLX in my RRSP. Thank-you in advance.Sam

Q: Do you see value in CL and KMB at this time as stocks and as somewhat safe harbours in volatile times? Do you have a preference between the two?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: KMB’s shares keep declining. It just raised its dividend by 3.1%. On financial websites financial ratios differ significantly-- ODD. One premium site depicts ROE at over a thousand % ! Yahoo shows ROE at > 400% . Could be function of ROBO-Analysis (?). So, what do you see for PEG, ROE, div payout , FCF and debt?

KMB’s sales are down and yes it says it faces higher input costs. But are there OTHER contributing factors to the continuing decline in share price?
I do not want to fall into errors like the one I made on another long-distance P&G where I am down 30%.
Is KMB worth buying now at these better prices? Does risk-reward make sense here? What do you think of KMB’s prospects? Would you buy , if only as a bond proxy? If you have suggestions for some other reliable dividend growers , I would appreciate names.

Q: Is KMB a buy, sell or hold? Thanks, cathy

Q: Would you please suggest a company(ies) that make paper products for incontinence? The beginning of the boomers turned 70 this year and I suspect this market will grow. Thanks for Savaria, a big winner for many of us.

Q: Can you tell me the current P/E and the historical sector PE of each one?
