Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please rank the quality of these U.S. Consumer Staple stocks with regards to the increasing of their respective dividends going forward as well as the rebounding of their business when sentiment turns favourable towards this sector?

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?
