Q: Hi 5i Team,
Recent energy and infrastructure M&A (e.g., Parkland-Sunoco, MEG-Strathcona, Enbridge-Brookfield) signals consolidation, driven by Carney’s "pro-energy" and P3 policies amid U.S. tariff pressures. What’s your view on this trend? Can you suggest 3–5 small- to mid-cap Canadian companies (excluding megacaps like Suncor, Brookfield) poised for growth or acquisition in these sectors? Please highlight key risks. Thanks!

Derek

Q: Hi,
Last week it reported Q1-2025 earnings. It missed its EPS and revenue also come lower but from the share price movement this news is considered as positive as share price reached 12 month high. Can you please give your analysis on this kind of scenario? Is this considered as selling opportunity to take advantage of rally or there is some positive news under the numbers which normal investor did not see?

Q: Just a follow up on yesterdays question re the exchanges.
If the shares on the Canadian exchange are delisted does one need to sell on the Canadian side and then buy on the US side if wanted or will this transfer happen automatically? I don't really want to sell my shares and trigger a capital gain only to buy the same on the US side and pay two transaction fees.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I know this is speculation, but if Strathcona raised their offer and closes the deal with MEG. Do you feel that the price of SCR goes down on the news, similar to WCP going down when it bought Veren. The purchaser tends to go down because they are taking on debt, or diluting, etc while the purchased goes up because of a premium on the purchase price. I'm just wondering if it makes more sense to wait on the news of the deal to finalize. One outcome being they get MEG at a higher price, and their share price pulls back a bit due to the integration risks etc. OR the deal falls through or another company gets MEG and SCR price still goes down on the news for losing the deal.

Q: Hi there,

I own this (not a lot in a diversified portfolio but enough for this situation to be annoying lol.

it’s suffering right now and keeps dropping owing to the varies worries of US debt, latest tax cut bill and concern of countries unloading their US debt holdings.

Should one just get out? Or should one sell some and add another short term US Bond ETF?

Always thought Bonds were safe but not right now!

Ok thanks.
