Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: pCELH seems to be in a good sub-category of consumer discretionary focussed on fitness, weight loss, and wellness.

They seem to have a good advertising and social media strategy: https://www.brandcredential.com/post/unveiling-the-celsius-marketing-strategy

The recent distribution deal with Pepsi-Co should bring new growth opportunities, and all financial metrics look great.

I was really interested in this company until I heard the Celsius management team speak to investors on a recent investor call (Everecore ISI). They did not sound very mature or well prepared.

Putting that aside, would you see any problem to own both monster, and Celsius since they are going after different demographics? Is Celsius the Lululemon of energy drinks - possibly minus the management team?

Q: Hi,
Comparing Telus, BCE and Rogers to AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile over the last year, the US companies seem to be outperforming (granted this is a short timeframe and others in the US top five: Comcast and Charter Communications aren't doing well either).

I was wondering if you have any thoughts about why the top three in the US are doing so much better lately than the top three in Canada. (Take credits as needed please.)

Thank you, Michael

We need to raise some cash in our non-registered account. Please rank in order of which stock/ETF to sell a partial position first: BYD, CNR, IHI, and TRI . All four of these holdings have done very well, thanks to the continued good recommendations from 5i.

Q: I don’t have any REIT exposure at the moment and am looking at DIR.UN. Although the yield is good and revenue is growing fast, it doesn’t appear to have a great track record on growing either earnings or the distribution. Forecast EPS is expected to rise significantly from current levels, however the ’24 and ’25 forecasts are still only about 1/3 of what was earned in 2021/22. The payout appears to have not increased since 2013(!) What needs to change for this REIT to restore earnings to past levels and to grow the distribution? Recent high rates I expect were/are part of the problem but likely are not the entire story.
