Investment Q&A

Q: What did you think of CGI's earnings report? The stock is now down from $152 to $90. Is this a buying opportunity, or is the growth just not there any more for this company?

Q: Peter; What didn’t the market like about GIB.A’s announcement today ? Thanks.

Q: Can you rank these top ten "losers" in terms of the most recommended to dollar cost average from 1 being the best opportunity to DCA to 10 being the least recommended to, thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I see that CSU, SHOP, CLS and GIB.A account for about 83% of XIT but neither TOI nor LMN are held directly in XIT. Bit of a math question: if we were to break LMN and TOI out of CSU, what % break down of XIT would LMN, TOI and CSU (thus reduced) represent?
Thank you
SP

Q: please rate these companies in order of best buy for 5 year hold.
thanks

Q: My Guys

Your thoughts on CGI's earnings and outlook. Seems to be support with stock buybacks etc. Time to nibble away at it.

Thanks

Q: Do you have a more recent update on DOCCKS than January 2025

Q: Microsoft's C$7.5 billion investment in Canada (over the next two years), part of a larger C$19 billion commitment through 2027 may benefit some Canadian companies like GIB at 52 wk lows and CLS at 52 week highs.
I like beaten up dogs like GIB vs. high flyers.
What is your opinion of GIB these days.

Thank you

Q: Hi, I own the companies mentioned above. Companies on unregistered account have been beaten down, what order would you sell them in or should some be held?

Thank you

Q: Hello,
We currently own Parkland and are wondering if we should be selling prior to the Sunoco takeover? And CGI has been losing ground of late, is it time to move on to a better performer in this space? Any suggestions?
Always appreciate your recommendations and great research.
Thank you... Tom

Q: I currently hold GIB shares, have held it for a while and done well with it. Share price have drifting lower since beg of year and am thinking of selling and replacing with another consulting company such as atkinsrealis, wsp. What do you think and what would be a possible replacement with higher potential. Thank you

Q: On Sep 12, 2025 you commented:

GIB.A can benefit from AI, and it is heavily investing in AI, but some consultant roles can be replaced by AI, and overall we think there are more interesting names in the market right now for the growth model portfolio.

Who are the more interesting names? Canadians, American and Why do think they will do better?

Q: It is said that AI will decrease the need for software or processes provided by software technology companies. Some fund managers have said that they have reduced their software holdings. Of the companies listed, are any more "immune" to the effects of AI?

Q: Regarding your recent portfolio changes:

- what is the best metric for determining whether or not Tantalus Systems is good value at current levels ?

- I was surprised by the AI disruption note in your commentary for CGI. I thought they were to benefit from AI. Maybe I misunderstood (?)

- By trimming NTR and adding L in the balanced portfolio, are you suggesting there is more upside with L ?

Q: BUY. or. HOLD. or SELL for a 3 to 5 year period?

Q: I have a total of 27% in technology and wonder if best to decrease this as I do not have consumer staples or consumer cyclical stocks. I am thinking of selling of GIB.A and CLBT. Would you sell these 2 stocks to bring the weight down or best to just trim some off the stocks listed. This is for a RRSP and I am more growth oriented.

Q: If I buy the dip in gib.a, will I get more growth vs buying LMN for a 3-5 year hold? Thank you

Q: Hi there, what would be the best risk to reward AI play on the TSX? Would it be CLS? If not CLS, what name would it be? And could you maybe provide a few names that you have conviction in, in order? Thank you!

Q: Looking at these Canadian tech heavyweights, could you rank what you would buy today for long term hold and why?

Q: I like OTEX as a long-term holding, but am in a loss situation; for tax reasons, it would be worthwhile to realize this loss, and rebuy the security in >30 days. In the meantime, I am thinking of investing the proceeds temporarily in CGI Group (GIBa). I note that today OTEX "popped" by ~10% because of a good earnings report. Here are my questions:
1. Is this a good time to sell OTEX (with plan to rebuy a few weeks from now) or should I wait a bit, since the stock could be in a bit of an uptrend over the next few weeks?
2. Is CGI Group a good proxy for holding the proceeds of OTEX disposition for the next several weeks (or would you suggest another proxy)?
3. In general, what do you think of these two holdings-- CGI Group and OTEX-- as long-term holds? If YOUR portfolio included both companies, would you favor one over the other (i.e., greater weighting within the portfolio), and if so which one (based on long-term prospects and current valuations)?
