Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you explain how the preference shares affect earnings and debt levels going forward. Is the paying of interest on these a detriment compared to Constellation, which has no preference shares? Does is become a drag on the company’s finances in certain situations, or is it a neutral or beneficial effect? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Currently I am down over 30% with kxs in a cash account . I am considering selling and generating a capital loss and using the funds to buy either TOI, or ABNB. Would this be advisable? Or do you see kxs having more upside long term than the other two mentioned? Or do you have a different top pick at the moment you would recommend buying instead to replace Kxs with , if I sold? Either US or Cnd. Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i,

Out of Topicus, goeasy or BRP inc, if you had to pick one... which stock would you “top up” hoping for the best one year gain?

Roku... your thoughts as it is down from 480 to 300. It had some huge gains and even at 300 it’s a big winner but it’s a big drop and I feel it’s overall trajectory as a company has only gotten stronger with recent acquisitions plus the overall move to streaming for consumers and companies alike, plus advertising potential growth etc. Thoughts on topping it up for 5 year growth I don’t see many better opportunities especially for potential for a quick turnaround within 1 year. (earnings tomorrow should be interesting in this market).

Q: I am interested by growth companies that have a lot of potential, and preferably relatively secure and not extremely volatile. I thought of the following companies: LSPD, NVEI. TOI, GSY, TAIG and LEV. If you would have to buy those companies, in what order would you buy them. Feel free to include other ones that are not on this list or exclude some of these if you think that they are not appropriate.

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on Topicus earnings? Also, is it a buy here and now?
Lastly, assuming an exchange of 1.00 to 1:48, no prefs and the same results occur over 4 quarters, are the numbers below correct?

$179.6m euros rev x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 26.98 revenue per share
$90 Price per share / 26.98 rev per share = 3.34 price to sales

$20.7m euros earnings x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 3.11 earnings per share
$90 Price per share / 3.11 earnings per share = 28.9 p/e

$91.5m fcf x 4 qs x 1.48 exchange/ 39.41m s/o = 13.74 fcf per share
$90 Price per share / 13.74 fcf per share = 6.55 price to fcf
13.75 fcf per share/ 90 price per share = 15% fcf yield

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much
